Ok. Wow. Negative equity!!!! These used Rs from all these stupid lease deals have flooded the market and I'm having to pay. Car was 33k new, close to 34k. 17 months old. 18k miles. Being offered 20,500 and I have upgraded alloys and pano roof. So it's lost 14k in that time. Ridiculous. Should have got an Audi in the first place
Vegas really does suit the S3...really surprised some new members aint gone for it...maybe its a tad youthful for them...lol
I think I only know of one member on the TT forum that bought a TTS in Vegas Yellow... and they went for the full red leather interior to match...!
Your car as you know, is worth more than that £23000 estimate Audi offered me £24000 in March 11k miles lol l just laughed at them....lol

Contact Dean at GTi world in Fort Kinnard. He bought my GTi in July and I got a great price for it. He offers good money for low mileage gti/R and is very good to deal with.

Go with the Flo-ret
There's toooo much silver and chrome going on there.....But a Pano-roof would have sorted that out......l have noticed all these Audi S3 facelift demos have 19"s and magride,with just looking at this car and not knowing its exact pec its at least, if its a S-Tronic....£39k....***

l have always said this...Floret really does suit the A3 design.....and the TT for that matter.....Rotor grey seats and pano-roof on that car would have been the icing on a very nice S3 cake
Late October then....ah....you should have just waited till March the 1st....not much difference really...a long wait is a long wait....lol
Yup, that's exactly what that car needs to soften the visual glare. A pano-roof comb-over...
He would look good in a Solar Orange Brief...lol...l see you've booked a G-techniq session for your Navarra....?Crystal...serum..YES .but EXOv2.....nope it doesnt last and its not worth it mate..........it doesnt have the staying power....4 months max...had it on my car...beads like nothing else on this planet....but...as l said

Spotted 2 facelifts yesterday - An S3 with roof rails, possibly Floret as above, looked stunning.
The other was (I'm guessing) an SE, brilliant black, small wheels - but what I did notice is that although these are now standard with xenons/LED DRL - the LED DRL was only the top line, unlike the 3-sided DRL line as per the Sline/S3 with LED headlights...

Yeah a slim led DRL.. At the top of the headlight unit, for xenon bulb headlamps they do the same on the TT and something similar on the A4
Yes noticed the non- S Line A4's have a dotted (individual LED) line.
Just thought it might be useful info for Sport vs S Line orders, I remember when the mk7 Golf come out a few people added xenons onto cars thinking they would come as per the GTI/D with the U shaped LED DRL, however turned up with xenon main lights but halogen DRL!

Interesting, Ara Blue has been available to order in Canada since July but will not go into production until week 45 of 2016. Could it be that there has been a large interest shown in the UK to have this colour included, as only Germany, Canada and the USA had this colour option before and only on the saloon in North America.
In the French configurator, Ara Blue has been available since June, and not only for the S3, but also for the A3.

I have Glacier White on my black edition and it looks incredible tbh. I wouldn't pick any car such as Black/Sepang etc which swirls to hell due to the thinners they use these days (thanks EU) and the constant scratches you will get by living in the UK where they don't maintain the roads.
Since around 2007/2008 on EU cars paint has been a lot thinner and weaker as a result of chemical changes that have had to be made because of EU directives and regulations. This has meant since then, cars have been much more prone to scratch marks and swirls compared to their counterparts before this time.
It means owning and driving a black car (personal experience with this) is a horrible experience for someone who likes their paintwork and clearcoat immaculate. Black (and dark cars in general) in the light show up these imperfections easily. You will notice hazing, swirl marks, scratches, etc like the below picture.

Lighter colors like white/cream and silver hide and mask this a lot better, and is the primary reason I chose Glacier White.
Can someone tell me part numbers? for 2 door hatch
This is the Audi light design apparently on the new internal trims, not sure if this is the full extent of it. £200, worth it? Personally, i'm a sucker for some snazzy LED's!
thanks
If you find out the part number please right it hear with huge font. It is an excellent addition that my test drive car had but I cannot spot it anywhere.
I even asked online part shops that specialise at retroffiting but no luck.
