£110 sounds like bargain of the century !!
Make sure you've not been mis-sold replicas as genuine the big giveaway is the weave direction does a half moon shape rather than going straight over ....

Your car has a far more glossy finish to to mate, Ara blue wins in that photo, TTS wins on looks though as always, the TT was the first Audi to adopt the new look Audi grill with sharper headlights design theme

Yeah the TT definitely looks more aggressive than the S3, I do like Sepang but in the sun especially, Ara wins it hands down for me.

Ara wins for you..... But of course it does lol

I love the burple tone sepang gives off in certain lights

But no doubt about it,Ara is a stunning strong blue colour, l was a baw hair away from choosing it lol l could of had every option l wanted if l had chosen it,l would love the red calipers,,keyless entry, side assist

I came from a deep blue pearl R32 and loved that, that had a purple tinge at times as well but the sparkle in Ara is awesome.

Gave the car a snowfoam yesterday. Constant battle against the sunlight drying her too quickly and leaving water marks. Dressed the tyres too. Got some tar removal to do mainly on rear wheels as there's a few road around here getting tarred (and ****** chipped too!) but I'll do that after I've been on holiday with the car.

Navarra does look good in the sun, just too dark for me though!

I had that issue with water spots when I washed mine so am now waiting on delivery of a Race Glaze water filter to stop that problem!

Stunning! Love Navarra in the sunlight. Would of specced it if I ordered new. In the sunlight it looks very similar to my Mystic Blue Saloon. But in flat, dull, cloudy light mine looks very purple.

 

[lekky]

Gave mine a clean this weekend

Stunning colour and car mate, rusty hubs need attention before the summer is over???? Lol

Cheers mate. I'm probably not the best pic taker but was in the garden late yesterday and took some snaps because of the way the sun was hitting it.
Yeah, I think I'll do the hubs when i do the calipers soon (wife wants her TT done too). What colour you reckon for the hubs? Black? The calipers will be red.

 

[James.B8]

Can never go wrong with black. Will set the red off nicely too.

Silver for the hubs

 

[azibux1]

I would (and did) go silver for hubs, red for calipers!

Before and after shot below!

I sanded and painted over the originals. Then got some vinyl stickers from eBay. But speak to @Tom.H he'll sort you out there hopefully

Stunning - quick tip on the discs - something I picked up from Jim White (White Details) on YouTube; once you're washed, drive the car up / down the drive way applying the brakes accordingly to dry off the discs...reduces the rust build up significantly

Haha. I do this. Mostly with our Golf R that has black wheels. If I don't, next day after using the car, there is a film of red dust on the wheels. Which doesn't go down well with the missus. So I go back and forward on the drive a few times!

A couple of pictures after the I'd applied the G-Technic stuff. Still had wheels, tyres, windows and interior to do, but I was shattered.

Jassy will hate it but at least I've always got a side line if I start to run out of cash.

I also realised just how difficult it is to get a decent picture of a white car, looks much better in the flesh.

I cancelled my white one in order for Daytona after 3 month of owning I'm finding the colour a little boring now wish they still did sepeng blue (spelling)
