    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]

    Upgraded ARB’s question

    Agree with the comments here. I put the H&R ARB on mine and it makes a world of difference. I'd suggest installing the rear first and seeing what you think. The front one is trickier to install and won't make the same amount of difference that adding the rear one does, as accelerating around...

    It's normal, I'm pretty sure mine is the same without ever having had a knock. Bear with me and I'll pop out now for a comparison shot

    Facelift Exhaust rattle after fitting downpipe

    Ah shucks, I had a feeling you might say that..! Ill have to take a look back through the old threads on this to see of there's at least a way of minimising the noise

    Facelift Exhaust rattle after fitting downpipe

    Did you get to the bottom of this rattle at all? I've got a totally stock exhaust system but have noticed a light rattle on acceleration too. At first I thought it might be from the engine area but now I wonder if it's a similar issue to this. It's a faint rattle but enough that I can hear it...

    RS6 style alloys

    This artist impression of the next gen RS3 has made me think the RS6 style wheels look pretty damn good on it... I'm quite tempted and I've seen a few alloys in this style available on eBay etc. Has anyone gone for anything similar on their own car?

    Not sure on the specific model but I'm pretty sure they're HRE alloys, based on the logo

    Do people notice your RS3?

    I must be doing something wrong [emoji38] It can certainly be very annoying, but the occasional one provides some mild entertainment! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Do people notice your RS3?

    The main time mine gets attention is when I'm at the car wash. Almost without fail someone will come up and comment on it or start a conversation! I quite like that though as they're always car guys and just appreciating the car, wanting to know about it or tell you how much they like it. I've...

    Exhaust paint flaking

    Thanks guys, I thought as much. I saw your post as part of my research earlier T-1000. I was hoping someone may have got further with Audi but I guess I'll need to find some temp-resistant spray then!

    Exhaust paint flaking

    Hi folks, has anyone actually had any luck in getting Audi to repair the flaky paintwork on the inner surface of the exhaust tips? Mine have started to peel (12 months old, still under warranty) and I'd like to think this should be something Audi would fix... has anyone managed to get them to...

    Do people notice your RS3?

    I don't know about other people but I like my RS3 for the very fact that it's understated and goes largely unnoticed except by those who know! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Something leaking?

    Have you applied anything to the wing mirrors? I can think of fluid that would be in there ordinarily, but perhaps it's dripped down from the housing after a wash or driving through rain/dirty water? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
