Looks so much better with the interior design pack

you’ve gotta get over it mate & move on, we ain’t getting it & that’s that ... but I agree it does look nice ;)

Im happy we’re finally getting honeycomb design though - that looks so much better than diamonds imo

Yeah I’d have gone with it if it was available just need to ram some red straws in my air vents now. Maybe it’s possible to retrofit the air vent parts

Nice alloys but personally l couldn't do after market alloys on a new Audi...but given how poor the current ones are in design l think fitting your wheels on to it would be an improvement
As for colour choice it'll come to me ....lol maybe that's the problem with my TT it's in turbo...but l just couldn't wait 10 months for it ergo...

Really?! How come? Oem wheels tend to be a bit meh so I’ve found them to be an easy was to freshen things up.

If they don’t look any good on the rs3 then I will just sell them but I’m going to give them a try first.

Haha. I’m a fan of some of the Porsche blues and greens. Gentian blue would be high on the list if I could get Audi to do it, although there is likely an Audi colour that’s very similar anyhow. 10 months extra is a bit silly so fair enough…

I know I know but if it does come to the uk cars down the line and I bought one without it I'd be well ****** off

I think that’s where we differ ... as much as I like the contrast leather & design pack, it’s something that won’t bother me retrospectively. That & a sunroof are the only 2 extras I’d have if I could, so the rest of the car is pretty much bang on the money for me - especially with the enhanced looks carbon brings to the table. But I’ve never had a pan roof so won’t miss what I’ve never had & the straws pmsl :tearsofjoy: (Great description lol) on the dash I can happily do without as I can the coloured shoulder areas on the seats ... it’s just the contrast stitching that appeals to me, but I’d have gone rock grey which is the most subtle so again not a huge loss in the grand scheme.

I think the carbon on the dash is of a higher quality FAUX carbon...OK it's FAUX it is... Carbon Twill is the real deal in an Audi the exterior carbon bits are almost irrelevant apart from the tail fin/spoiler/wing mirrors

they are subtle but I like that and still think they enhance the exterior and add a touch of interest to the overall styling.
As your mentioned before at least we’ve got rid of the Frankenstein stitching on the dash & doors !

How come it is in Poland before the UK? Typical.

If I had a electric car I would drive to that dealer and make a video!
Because a) It's still LH drive and b) Poland are in the European Union, we are the odd one out now
 
Kemora is really nice in that video posted on Page 12, never been a fan of it. I wonder if the front arches are really as pronounced and wide as this video suggests.

Unfortunate you guys have been pushed back - I'm waiting on my latest update coming through. I've been offered silly money for my S3 at the mo, I'm not letting it go until I know the RS3 is in build. I have another vehicle I can use but there's nothing wrong with the S3. Don't see the prices dropping any time soon either, will monitor it closely though.

How much are they offering you ??

I agree with @S15THM and in a similar boat with my current car ... I believe they will hold their value so we can wait for the new cars to arrive and (based on current timelines) sell them at that point for good money.
 
Well that's a blow that Jazzy aint liking Nardo or Kemora
Nardo was my first RS3 and have ordered Kemora carbon saloon
Just for good measure had a Crayon Macan GTS too

Coming to a showroom near you soon…



That video confirms I am not a fan of the contrast 'straws' on the dash or shoulder sections of the seats.
They just look a bit unnecessary imo and out of place.
The interior is quality and I think those aspects just cheapen it somewhat.
I'd just have the contract stitching on the seats, steering wheel & door arms.

Nardo is of an acquired taste let say...l have seen it on every S/RS car since Audi introduced it...thing is every car maker afterwards..etc etc and even more Porsche Chalk Grey but we're all different but Kemora tops them all ....a fad colour
 
Had another call from WBAC today and they’ve upped their offer for the S3 to £37,120. They’ve seen this car in the flesh so no haggling to be done here. Unbelievable.

I did a WBAC with my 17 Golf R, over the last 5 weeks or so it's gone from £25,000 to £26,400, list was £39K exactly 4 years ago and I paid just over £32K with teh deals that were available, I was at local VW the other day having MOT done and they had one similar to mine, same year up for £33K :blink:

The deals are getting pretty nuts. A friend bought his RSQ3 a couple years ago for around £56k and they're now offering him almost £59k! He says if it hits the magic £59k mark he'll just take it in and bank the cash. Lol.

That does sound loopy as a top of the range RSQ3 vorsrung is only £62k list ..... brand new !
How can they buy a 2 year old car @ £59k and make a profit on that ?

Inspired by the recent valuation quotes I've just updated my WBAC valuation for my '19 8v S3 and it's gone up £1900 in one week and a total of £4k since I did the deal in August on the RS3.

Probably drop before the RS3 lands though.

No idea, it's mad. Although I lied, it's a year old rather than two.

I sold my golf r just before ordering the RS3, I found it on cinch last week for £450 more than what I got, was expecting a higher markup than that.

It's stated it had had a full service as well,
Then you got the resale admin, valet, etc

Hi all, current 67 plate RS3 owner, and ordered a Vorsprung SB in Daytona, no build date yet infact the Dealer (in Whetstone) has no idea when I'll get it ! No rush next summer is good for me.
Taking about WBAC, they currently have my 4yr old motor with 21000miles at £39500, mental considering I paid 49k over 4yrs ago for it.
