If you're thinking OE then any Audi dealer I would've thought. Crewe Audi mentioned them on here a while back but they're no cheaper than any other dealer.

Yes but not the ones that have ‘RS’ or ‘RS3’ embroidered on them. Unfortunately they only come with the interior packs that we don’t have as an option.

You'd be surprised how many people weren't aware of what the GTR was when it was debadged!
But yeah I would love to swap the wheels.

Working on and brining out a new version of a car we've been waiting over a year for and have no idea if or when they will turn up is a special kind of piss take.

Is that drive the deal offer only on the base car with that option pack? Not a bad deal still I guess?

How can they deliver before the end of the year with the stop order on them or are these stock cars sitting somewhere maybe?

Any links to the supplier? I think that’s one of the more subtle front lips and rear diffuser I’ve seen and I don’t hate it…

It's Audi OEM products. I suspect it's the parts from the cars we seen in camouflage recently and nothing to do with a facelift.

Ah ok. So will likely be ridiculously over priced then.

Pretty sure this is the same anounced earlier in the year, the camo car also had a different nadge that was breakinginto the bonnet IIRC?

COMING SOON! AeroKit for the 2022 RS3

The final front of the Stoll Sport Audi RS 3 (8Y/GY) aero kit! The Audi RS 3 has what we call an overjaw in the front lip area as standard. We solved this with a three-piece front spoiler and gave the vehicle again the actually necessary racing character. The two massive air intakes transform...

Does anyone know if when my car comes in the dealer would let an outside detailer take the car to ceramic coat and give it back to them for me to pickup "officially" . I've emailed my dealer and no answer yet. I just don't want to collect my car then hand it over for 3 days. Cars due in anytime now to the dealer and im away working until early Dec so just trying to get ahead of the game really, I imagine it's probably not possible due to insurances and liabilities etc etc
 
Any decent dealer would accept that. My new car was delivered to my chosen detailer in Aberdeen and I have the option of collecting from the detailer or the dealer will take it back and do a collection from their collection bay.

I’ve seen quite a few arrange this without issue. I booked mine in with my detailer once I had a delivery date and just took it in myself after collection. Local guy so no issues. He had it for 3 days.

Usually I think these kits look stuck on and over the top but this one looks a bit more subtle and, maybe obviously, OEM.

I’d like to see a car with all the bits on it in person.

Not to be a downer, but I doubt it. I don’t recall it being available on almost any Audis, I could be wrong though.

Fair enough, that’s why I said ‘almost any’, because I seem to recall it was an option at some point. It was actually an option on the A4 at one point but I seem to think it was pulled before any cars came off the line.

Strangely, we were able to add it to my wife’s Skoda Kodiaq a while back and I think it’s also available on the Octavia and Superb, but you can’t really get it on any Audi models now.

Definitely. But if I do things to my car it’s because I want to, not for the social media ‘likes’.

As an aside, have any of your cars exhausts got slightly louder as the miles increase?

It’s probably in my head but now I’m at 1500 miles on the odometer the car seems a bit louder, or have I got it wrong?

Lol yeah exactly that.
You could even set the ambient lighting to gradually change colour and cycle. It was quite cool, in a gawdy kinda way - but certainly brightened up the interior and very welcome on dark winter evenings.
I have to squint to see the thin slither of ambient lighting in the 8y’s cave like interior :)

I am inclined to agree. I run the ASR module with the valves open most of the time and I’ve noticed overrun burbles and some pops and crackles if I start it in RS Performance mode. I think I’m on 1200-1300 miles at the moment.

On older cars it was when soot built up inside the exhausts made them louder but I though with GPF we didn’t really get that anymore?
