RS3 countdown to configurator

What I like about the 3D is you can rotate and even open the doors and flash the lights . You even get the entry light on the floor!

On which Audi configurator was this made? I searched like 6 different ones and none has 3D view.
Can you please give me a link to the one with 3D view . Thank you.

I found on an iPad its best to use Chrome app explorer which you can translate pages, reselect polish to be able to click option boxes (otherwise it seems to crash). The 3D seems to pixelate sometimes but just pick 2D then back to 3D to sort.

Just not happy with round steering wheel or the graphic alloys on the vorsprung.
I've just been watching this video;



and when you get to 1:53 he says that the alloys have stickers on them and therefore presumably they are not diamond cut. They certainly look like stickers and also on the German model shown the graphic is slightly different to the UK version being a darker shade of grey on the right hand side of the spoke. The stickers would likely come off and you're left with a gloss black wheel which I think looks better than the matte version on the Carbon Edition.

Sorry can't do anything about the other round wheel though!

Hmm interesting.
Have you ever tried peeling some stickers off though which are not easy peel ... how frustrating can that be :tearsofjoy:
Can you imagine starting 1 wheel and it being a nightmare to get them off.

Having had a deposit down for over a year, you certainly deserve a launch edition if that is what you want, but good luck actually securing one.
I don't believe the launch editions are allocated just yet, so your Dealership may not even get one at all.
At least with one of the other cars you can officially order, it will be a guaranteed car.

Wait what? you can peel those stickers off?!
 
I was assured they were diamond cut, but did wonder if someone would try and peel them off

 
No ... it is just speculation atm

& we are not sure if they are 'easy peel' :tearsofjoy:
They shouldn't be otherwise they're likely to come flying off whenever you get them cleaned with a jet washer! You are going to have to be pretty committed to take the chance that they can be removed without leaving a mark.

I thought they would be diamond cut too as they're the same wheel as the Estorils on my MK8R and they're definitely diamond cut. In the video they really do look like stickers up close and also there's a darker shade of grey on the spoke as well.
 
Surely they’ll be like the Audi Sport logo and won’t peel off.
 
As for having deposits down, I had one down two months ago and my sales guy hasn’t had the decency to return my calls or emails for two days. And he is definitely there.

Stickers on alloys surely isn't a good combination for longevity ?

I'd say they are diamond cut too.

Nice spec - daytona grey does look like it goes really well with the design :thumbs up:

£189? Must have been a big deposit. What's the balloon payment at the end?
Around 23k off the top of my head . Thats the part I don't like to be honest
 
Revised my order this morning from Sportback Vorsprung to:

Saloon
Carbon edition
+ comfort & sound pack
+ Daytona grey

Just not happy with round steering wheel or the graphic alloys on the vorsprung.

plus I really like the look of the carbon bits and the boot spoiler really does look fantastic - the hatch carbon wing I’m not a fan of. The saloon just looks the part IMO in carbon.

Saved a £grand in the process too lol :icon thumright:

I would go carbon edition Sportback but I couldn't live with that tacky boy racer rear spoiler if you could delete it it would be perfect imo

He is wrong; he misspoke. They are diamond cut.
 
but they do look like stickers so as the RS sticker near the valve, probably are lacquered and they are different shades on other than UK cars..... another kick in the nethers unless the configurator just doesn't render them correctly?

Well that’s that then
I’m definitely out unless I get the launch edition
Can’t even configure a carbon in mythos

Don’t want this fugly vorsprung
When allocations of launch edition comes available the dealership will do their best but they have no control on where they go at the mo
Disappointed with Audi is an understatement
I’m out of here

My 8Y is in positive equity by about £5k. I've been offered £36k for it at the moment at it's highest.

My RS3 deal.

Saloon, Carbon Model - Kyalami Paint. No other options.

£8k down, £560 per month.
That doesn't seem bad at all .
Whats the ballon ?
 
You know although I am confident that those are diamond cut it is strange Audi calls it a graphic in the description - which means maybe they really are “stickers”

Now I put some Audi Sport stickers on my wheels after getting them refurbed (they need another refurb!) and they are very strong; they do not come off when power washed.

However if they are stickers then in theory some heat and patience might get them off and your have those Matt black wheels…
