Soon to be a new S3 owner,question best options?

[Rob2k68]

Good for you Rob,cant wait to see your car....DG should look AWESOME......Have you gone for Roof Rails?

Cheers ! Hope so saw a 1.2 s line in the showroom and really liked it. My Alfa a few cars back was grey too and found it fairly easy to maintain whilst still polishing up nice although need to read up on the detailing section as the new sealants and treatments seem to be better than carnuba wax on the mid tones. My current car is Nevada white metallic which shows up every last minute tar spot so won't miss that!

Toyed with the roof rails but left them off as I can never see me using them. I'll only really ever have a peddle bike on board which can go in the back hence choosing the sportsback over the saloon plus the good lady has an IX35 with a tow bar as the family car lol

I wouldn't dismiss the LED lights so easily, they have a colour temperature of around 5,500 Kelvin, resembling daylight and help to reduce eye fatigue.

What do ya think...and they are going to give me LED scuff plates as a wee incentive

 

[HawkeyeS3]

I'd say that sounds like a right result. If you don't like a 64 plate on it (personally I don't see that as a negative) then buy a cheap plate from DVLA and drop that on it with the extra cash you save. No-one will know what reg it is then.

See if you can negotiate a couple of free services as well - what you don't ask for you don't get!

Sounds a great spec mate. Very nice!

At that level of discount I don't think I would be worrying too much about a 64 plate

Racing mica blue? Gorgeous!

 

[Tej13]

Changes made,keeping the Sportsback with the Technology Pack but 19"s and Magnetic ride added,God i must be mad £££££

Wow! That is quite a spec list

 

[Jassyo06]

Hi,this is the car question taken from my sons iphone so its not the best of quality the other photos are of a Sepang S3 i took when i visited the showroom to order,to be honest from thephoto it doesnt look anything special,so i am going to see the car in person and try and get the price down a little more if they want rid of it by next weekend

 

[HawkeyeS3]

THAT is pure S3 porn - shouldn't be allowed LOL!

Very very nice.....when do you take delivery?

Hey Hawkeye, if my sons general manager can move just a little bit more on the price...to my maximum monthly payment budget it will be next weekend

 

[Rob2k68]

Get it outside it'll probably take on another dimension and look totally awesome !!!

 

[Jassyo06]

Going by the photo of the Mica Blue car, its crying out for a black grille??? its a lot of money for PAINT......if they can just meet meat little more on price l will go for it....i dont see many punters wanting a £40K S3

 

[ice_cube99]

Looks great

 

[mister.c.]

Ask you son if I can offer a deal like that to a few others of us on ASN!

Hey there Mr C...l am sure IF there where a genuine serious interest,by potential buyers on this Forum for any New Audi my son would'nt leave them dissapointed and by the way the 14.5% discount was only available on the Mica Blue S3 til the end of January??,l was told all Audi Franchised dealers need to buy in such hi-spec models like the Mica S3 every so often to keep their "PRISTEGE OF SALE" up.

l will speak with son.

 

[Superdoug]

Can I join your gang? I have ordered a Mythos Black Sportback, Magride, Supersports seats, B&O, Black Pack, Black roof rails,Privacy glass, Advanced Key, Monopur, Interior Lighting pack, Comfort with cruise and park assist. Build week 8 should be ready for mid to late March. I will be away mid March till April. So have that little bit longer to wait

[jaypers777]

The Dark Knight wouldn't forget such a vital feature!

 

[jaypers777]

I was talking about the jassyo06 spec.

 

[RedTurtle]

Ah with you! Yup no mono.pur.. Move on to the next!

 

[mfl]

Ah with you! Yup no mono.pur.. Move on to the next!

Oh no not the mono.pur ...... (so as not to confuse people .that was a joke )

 

[Jassyo06]

Mono Pur....Thats the stitching on the door cards and the Centre Consul....LOL not for me but hey each to their own.

Well decided,the Racing Mica Blue S3 "IS NOT FOR ME"..TOO much money i just couldnt justify that amount of money on paint,so decided to add the Panroof and the B&0 to my existing Sepang SB...Thats if my son can get his finger out of his *** and deal with it...would be diffrent if i where "Just a normal punter eh.....?

Anyone got photo of a Sepang SB with a Panroof..?

 

[Jassyo06]

P.S...That Mica S3 has a list price of nearly £43,000.....madness

 

[Rob2k68]

Wow !! Big bucks but easily done think I'm into 8k of options but 43k is getting into the base price of an S5 !!!

I almost went for a Nogaro blue S3 which was in stock but similarly used the 2k exclusive paint cost to cover the S-Tronic and B&O. It did look stunning tho.

 

[Jassyo06]

Have you ever wished ye never started something,but still need to follow it through to the end?this seems to be the way with my Audi..****** he is lol, ye know yer kids better than they know themselves at 23 or any age or that matter,well my Panroof/B&O AINT BEEN ADDED...Knew it had'nt been,just got off the phone to him,Again l have had to change spec just to get things i want,they have a stock car coming in with Scunnered/sick....mind numbing
