You order it and I’ll test fit it and let you know the outcome
I so nearly went green, I used to like the 'asbo green' Focus RS as Clarkson called it, I think it suits the RS3 very well, I dont think it would suit any bigger RS models,i do think the green looks great on this car mate …. You enjoy it’s been a long wait for you
But, caution got the better of me and whilst I was considering Daytona my car jumped forward and a stop to any changes then goes in place, so it's Tango Red, and better still it's here

Ah yes I remember being at the London motor show many years ago when that focus RS was launched and agree the green looked incredible … indeed the RS3 8y does have a similar impact. It’s just a bit too bold for me lol. Red looks fantastic too, very nice
That Green paint on the RS Focus was a pearlescent paint ultimate Green l think it's names was it looked stunning in sunlight can't say the same for Kyalami it'll look washed out in direct sunlight much the same as Turbo blue doesAh yes I remember being at the London motor show many years ago when that focus RS was launched and agree the green looked incredible … indeed the RS3 8y does have a similar impact.

That looks fantastic.Quick one of mine waiting on Tuesday coming...
Brave choice but just rewards.
I don't know if anyone chose the yellow Carbon as the yellow did look great too in the early shots.
For me a big deciding factor on carbon saloon is the contrast with the black roof.
It was always something that I loved about the M3(Carbon roof)so when I saw it on the saloon that was it for me.
I'll look out for you in the West.
To be fair you'll be hard to miss lol
our carbon has landed but there’s no RS3 mats. Anyone know where to get them?

Thread 'Genuine Audi 8Y RS3 "RS" Design Scripted Floor Mats UPDATED 15/02/2022' https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threa...cripted-floor-mats-updated-15-02-2022.432084/
Bridgestones feel ok so far - certainly a good cold weather tyre. Just need some heat to see how they are in summer now.
Don’t know tbh, the photos were taken by the sales girl for me, If you say the tread pattern is Bridgestone I believe you
Hoping to go and have a look tomorrow but that means going on a Motorcycle, this is the first time since I was 17 that I have been without a car, I was painting a ceiling today and thought i'll need to go out and buy some more paint, before I realised I couldnt
Got them on mum's wee A1 a 30 profile 18 wheel they wear quickly especially at the edge so don't look new for long and l certainly think they won't last long on a RS3
Initially I was really disappointed with the Pirelli’s but I think it was a combo of cold, wet and salty roads that hampered them to begin with, plus maybe they needed a few miles to get going.
Now they have 1,500 on them, I’m rather happy with the Pirelli’s. Better than bridgestones I’ve had in the past.
I was going to switch them straight out for a set of PS4s but I am going to let them run and only change when needed so a marked improvement cf when I first got them.
Pirelli’s on my last RS3 had exceptionally quick tyre wear but we’re a nice looking tyre and I had no complaints in the summer.
First impressions - what an amazing car! Much louder than I had ever anticipated it to be and definitely has to be heard in person. I wouldn't want MUCH more sound from it - those who have theirs already will understand what I mean. The cold start with valves open is very loud, almost pre-opf levels. Cars also very easy to provoke into oversteer in slippery roundabouts etc - great for having a bit of fun.
Ride quality is superb and I don't have the adaptive dampers, much comfier than my girlfriends 128ti.

Looks lovely.
Nice to see the comments about the sound too, coming from an 8v S3 I was always going to impressed but mine is definitely louder than the video reviews have suggested.

And then the high sea's got to it and its now sunk.....................Last one just for you, Fires out now apparently, all she needs now is a good swell and all the cars will fall to one side (as the tie downs will be burnt) and down she goes
Looks a scary ship to me now

night time photos look fantastic mate & glad you’re enjoying it. I’m nearly 2 months in and still enjoying it as much as day 1
This might sound stupid but on the configurator the Vorsprung comes with RS adaptive suspension with drive assist is this any different to the adaptive suspension in the Dynamic pack? asked this question to my dealership who responded with "I'm not sure its a good question" was wondering if anyone on here might have any clues regarding this
I believe that it was worked out before that it’s the same system but don’t quote me on that.

The only 2 things the Dynamic Pack adds to a Vorsprung is ceramic brakes and a top speed increase of 6mph (174mph standard on Vorsprung upped to 180mph with the Dynamic Pack). RS Exhaust and RS Adaptive Suspension are 'standard' on Vorsprung trim.
There was quite a bit about this in the early days really down to Audi's pizz poor configurator, the Dynamic pack just gives you ceramic brakes and raises top speed IIRC
This ^^ Audi dealers are clueless, configurator is mind bending stupid……
