    Standard wheel logos

    https://www.brakecaliperdecals.co.uk/Audi-RS-Wheel-Decals-Logos Here you go. They've got a range of colour options too, if you want to move away from the original for whatever reason [emoji1360] Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Interior rear noise

    The 8V had an issue with the latch mechanism on the rear seats which I found caused occasional squeaking. The mechanism was a bit loose, causing some movement. I found that wrapping the seat element of the latch (the metal hoop, if you like) in a few layers of insulation tape would tighten it...

    Vorsprung v Carbon edition

    Moving from a FL 8V to the 8Y last month, I was quoted almost four times the price by one provider [emoji23] In the end, even with discounts (work in insurance) my premium went up about 30 per cent Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Vorsprung v Carbon edition

    Yep, no HUD (at least not on mine), but you do get the advanced key and speed sign recognition

    Vorsprung v Carbon edition

    It seems to vary - I picked mine up in January, which was a Carbon Black Edition with dynamic pack and there were a few on offer around the country. Speaking to the dealer (I travelled to the NW to get it), they seemed to have a few but mentioned demand fluctuating quite a bit, so stock levels...

    Vorsprung v Carbon edition

    The Vorsprung model only comes with the standard round wheel from what I'm aware, whilst the Carbon Black Edition gets you the flat-bottomed one. A small thing, but it's the main thing you see when driving it, so nice to be reminded you're in something a bit more special than a standard A3. The...

    RS3 8Y Picture Gallery Thread

    Made the difficult decision to part ways with my FL 8V sportback a couple of weeks ago and picked this beauty up. A bit brighter than the Daytona Grey I had before [emoji23] Just a brilliant car and the difference between it and the previous generation is night and day Sent from my SM-G991B...

    Deals

    I traded my 8V FL RS3 in for a brand new carbon black sportback a fortnight ago. There were quite a few deals going on AutoTrader with a money off here and there if you're willing to travel to pick it up. I ended heading up to the NW for mine, with a few thousand off, as well as working them...

    Upgraded ARB’s question

    Upgrading the front ARB will likely cancel out any handling benefits of doing the rear ARB. I think there are a few posts in here somewhere of people having done both and that have said as much. Doing the rear only would be more effective [emoji1360] Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Upgraded ARB’s question

    Good stuff! Rear ARB is brilliant in my view glad it made a difference. Out of interest what size and brand of spacers did you go for? I had a TTS before my RS3 and the spacers I had on it made such a difference to the stance of the car... Is that the Maxton front splitter you've got on too?

    Upgraded ARB’s question

    Getting both front and rear done would largely negate any benefit of installing the rear bar, as per previous posts here. I don't want to tell you what to do/think, however there are several people who have done the rear ARB of the FL, myself included, and highlighted the positive difference it...

    Upgraded ARB’s question

    Will be interested to hear if you notice the difference. I think it transforms handling. Great value mod

    Anything "leakable" behind this cover?

    That's the cover for the rear tow hook. I imagine washing it is probably causing mud and a lot of gunk which has accumulated in there whilst driving to seep out, that's all [emoji1360]
