RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

Doesn't look the same design weave as on the dash

Yeah that is what I was thinking - would not want 2 different types of weave as it would look odd.

 

[Jassyo06]

I could be wrong but I don't think that this car has the atlas carbon like previous Audis. Or maybe it's just because it's matt instead of the gloss that's throwing me off.

Like l said only one way find out is to purchase and if it is a exact match all the better .....carbon atlas weave is still available on Current models RS4/S5/RS5/TT/TTS/TTRS/RS6/RS7/RSQ8/SQ5

 

[Mastachaz]

Coz it doesn't .....why don't you buy one and find out for sure

seller claim its same , you dont without giving example so maybe you buy one and show us its not same ;-)

Personally I love the gloss black still, the carbon looks ok, but if it didn't match I wouldn't do it.

PPF'ing the gloss black would be my next port of call, but it's not showing any signs of marking. Still unmarked and unswirled after 4 months and that includes a post race weekend where I'm notoriously clumsy after 12hrs of racing.

The reality is the gloss black is fine - it does get finger marks on it which need buffing off after a while, but so does the mmi screen and that looks ten times worse if you touch it a lot.

For anyone who might want one there’s a new blue Vorsprung hatchback showing as in stock at current RRP at Cheltenham - not sure if it is or isn’t.

Possibly with dynamic pack can’t tell.

[Kind.rs3]

Those wheels look similar to the wheels on the Audi performance TTRS carbon catalog car.. could be a Audi perf carbon bits for 8Y?

Should concentrate on building the cars they have orders for………. Not trying to upsell parts they can’t supply for months anyway.

+1 on this. If it becomes an issue will fix the swirls and get a bit of PPF but not finding I need it after 3k miles in.

 

[Mastachaz]

After almost 2 months finally got 1h to install red vents

 

[HulkRS3]

Yeah I'd be surprised if that's an actual Audi car and not a third party just using an OEM style camouflage.
