Yes you can, until you reach code 20 (build week confirmed). If you change it at code 10 (estimated build week) it may affect the timescale as you may lose your spot if the spec changes to include parts not planned to be used in your slot. For example, panoramic roof being added/removed will almost guarantee a change in build week as cars with/without are built together in runs.
It's pretty common on new car launches, they take it down for a few hours while the fix the inevitable incorrect descriptions/imagery. Audi's web and brochure editors are among the worst I have ever seen - I've pointed out 20+ errors on the SQ5 and S1 to them at their launch. I also spotted an error in a BMW printed brochure, so they had to print however many thousand 1 series brochures again!!

So Nic Cackett doesn't like the new Audi RS3: Autocar (and I'm a subscriber, tsk) report Autocar 22 April 2015 (my 70th birthday)
Well ain't that a surprise; Autocar scribes didn't like the original, either... (TOUGH!)
Autocar do like a Jaguar however; I hate to think how much Jaguar 'might' be paying for their now repetitive inclusions and/or glossy supplements' as in today's Autocar; and similarly for the same yet AGAIN Aston bl**dy Martin but with different splitter and/or indicator-lamp/wing-mirror design...
Autocar seem always to want to evaluate an Audi, any Audi, on a test track in 'dry weather conditions' rather than a public road in wet/damp/winter conditions.
When will Autocar understand the variables of UK driving conditions and evaluate a car on a 52-week cycle rather than its scribes flying off to Italy to drive a quattro car in warm/dry/sunny/conditions.
Maybe any RS3 on UK roads in typical UK conditions (winter and summer) is a step too far for Cack Nickett.
Does annoy me; the RS3 for me is one of the best available useable and fun cars for ALL year motoring: **** Cackett (keyboard error Audi fans...) please note...

Nic Cacketts review follows the mould of many of his previous reviews; is not anchored in reality and assumes that every car sold must go around a track faster and better than a golf R to be a contender at anything. What utter tosh the bloke writes;
"That the car also remains riveted to the ground and a doddle to dial into will be testimony enough of quattro GmBH’s skill for some - but we hoped there would be more here to savour". - like what Nic? Photon torpedos?
" Should I buy one?
That leaves the jury technically still out, although it must be said that if you’re holding off on buying the model’s half sister, the Golf R, until you’ve heard the final verdict, I wouldn’t necessarily linger much longer.
Marginally slower and less characterful in the engine bay it may very well be, but the Volkswagen steers with more aplomb, levitates above the ground like a cruise missile, gets the standard manual gearbox the Audi doesn’t, and, crucially, doesn’t need the ESP turned off to show you a good time."
Last time I looked the Golf R 0-62 was 4.9 seconds (dsg box); thats not 'marginally slower' and more on par with my S3 to 62.
Apparantly the Golf R levitates now; so I haven't a clue what that means; and cruise missiles are guided!
This guy just does not get what your average driver wants aout of a review; but then again, the majority of us take our cars around tracks are weekends don't we - Utter Tosh Nic

Drove the CLA45 today, came away quite dissapointed. Seemed very flat and sound wasn't that great inside the car. Maybe because my TT RS was mapped. Now back to hoping they bring this out in a saloon!
I think reviews for sports cars are reviewed in that context and absolutely against the competition, which includes price. The RS product has always won out on practicality, but sports cars are not considered on practicality so there is the contradiction in RS products.
The main issues always seems to be price and weight distribution where all audi's stick the engine past the front axle; how could anyone expect an Audi to not under steer, it's just physics, the same with 911's with their engine past the rear axle.
They still give it 4/5 stars, but bear in mind the test conditions were picked by Audi and not the journo's.
I do agree about jaguar BTW, but not because of advertising.

Has anyone got any pics of the rs3 in the glacier white or Daytona grey? Iv tried photoshopping it and it looks ridiculous, I'm stuck on what colour to order - Iv narrowed it down to glacier, sepang and Daytona and I'm having a hard time choosing.
quite possibly, the option will be Ibis white for MY16, not glacier, if the MY16 changes include the RS3
my bad, Ibis replaces Amalfi

Err, not correct. I have seen a few pictures of the new RS3 in black posted on the web. None in white yet, which is where my thinking is going. Nardo - looks OK, but it'll be the most common colour for this car I think and I'm already sick of seeing it in every video and picture I find of the new RS3. I'm hoping that they'll bring in Ibis White as a standard colour post launch as I prefer that to Glacier White. I will not have to pay extra for the paint either, always a bonus...
Nimbus grey ordered here .....
Should look pretty sweet parked up next to my nimbus mk2 on the driveway :O can't come soon enough

thats probably UK presentation photos (nardo grey) that seems white because light.
Although I'm not sure why you need to see an rs3 specifically. There are plenty of a/s3's out there they all look the same from the side! only a little imagination needed :/
Nice! I have found big photo versions.
Front brakes looks huge!
Front brakes looks huge!
19" if you believe the catalogue
If mine doesn't come with these I'll be really annoyed!
No, they look steel. And I suspect the Ceramics have a special colour for the callipers, too, though I don't know that for fact.
Do the super sports seats include the electric lumbar adjustment like the S3 though? It doesn't say so in the RS3 brochure but they are an option
