Has anyone got any pictures of a Sepang Blue SB on the 19" option wheels? Looked through the photo thread and googled it but struggling to find a photo.
 
These are rare as rocking horse **** as factory fit 19s also requires the mag ride option on the SB.

Think jassyo06 has specced these and will probably be the first opportunity for pics.

Your not wrong on the rocking horse ****. Over an hour on Google and no pictures anywhere.

Looks not the worst. But for 2grand for a set of wheels and suspension
 
Thanks SJC that was the best I could do as well. I'm not keen on the 19"s given the configurator image so wanted to see a picture or in the flesh. Seen them on the saloon (albeit custom paint) but not a SB.
 
I had the same problem trying to find pics. I have specced these on my HB and taken a punt. I'm not getting mine until April so can't post any pics until then but I am sure they will be a few 1st March cars specced with them so hopefully we can see some pics.

Fingers Crossed you're right. I expect my car to be in lockdown by then though so may have to take a punt. Going to have a look at the weekend to see if there is a car locally with them fitted I can have a look at I think there is a saloon at Northampton in black.

I was at Volkswagen UK HQ today and their car park is full of S3's - I saw at least 20 (before I stopped counting) BUT not one of the HB or SBs had 19's. I can say that the 19's look great (imo) on all of the saloons I looked at. The saloons were white, sepang, black, red, daytona and one purple(ish) and the alloys suited all colours well.

I spoke to my dealer today and my order is on lockdown as of Friday (they guess). They said someone ordered a couple of days before me who called this morning to change their wing mirrors but it was already too late as the order had been sent to the factory.

I suppose with the cost of them + mag ride people don't normally bother. Can't wait to see them though. Might just go with them to be different.

That's my thinking exactly :)

Which dealer? I called my dealer to add folding mirrors yesterday and was told it was locked off for changes. Ahh well. My cost was going up every week until eventually I would have ended up with every single option whether needed or not.

The only one I am gutted about is the folding mirrors. That said I havent had them on any car and never really had any issues...the £950 retrofit cost against the £150 Audi option cost is making it worse though.
 
Can't wait to see one in the flesh
