Most did'nt spec it on the 8v RS3 for reasons
1. No Desire to have it
2. Doesn't make the car the anymore desirable (resale)
3.It was too expensive £1400 on a already expensive car
4.More to go wrong with the car long term.....expensive to repair
If It were a stand alone option on the 8y RS3 again same as the above

Did you not buy a incoming stock RS3 as l remember you got a almost fully loaded Navarra blue S3 Saloon which you chopped in within 2 months for the RS3
He is very spec/gadget minded mate...as l recall from the S3 8V section.....had to have it all....lol.....he's harmless though.....and a post-punch bag for you........lolOh please not the ‘I’m better than you because my cars got more spec’ card

5. If your paying attention to traffic, road conditions etc then that’s enough, too many nanny aids = drivers being lazy.
Lazy drivers blaming the car when something happens.

Your memory is very good (scary) I had an S3 and I ordered the RS3 from new like you said 2 months after I got the S3. I had to wait 8 months *pre-silicon shortage* for the RS3 to come. And as I used to drive around for work I wanted the driver assistance pack. And no problems at all with that. My only issues have been the whole fuel pressure error which disappeared, the sunroof being replaced under warranty due to rattling And most recently a gear box leak which required the entire removal of the gearbox… all under warranty.
Oh l remember your Navarra S3 it was beautiful...you got it around the same time as l got my Voodoo.... you must have lost a lot of money on it chopping in for a fully loaded RS3 Saloon but it must have been worth it as you've kept the RS3 for awhile
Will almost certainly be getting a new steering wheel from Berg Tuning. Having seen it on here, i do like the idea of getting at least the front seats belts done with the red stitching along the edge as well!
Looking at this I think I will consider the steering wheel and seat belts on mine.
Will see how the wheel is in person but the belts look like a quick win.
I can live without the coloured vents.
The element I will miss but not do anything about is the seat stitching… that’s a shame.

Wait long enough you'll get the oem coloured edged seat belts on eBayLooking at this I think I will consider the steering wheel and seat belts on mine.

Not that I know about what’s involved but for 200 notes doing the belts in the car seems worth a go.
I found parts number for vents but they not easy to swap need to strip whole dash wich i think its not worth 
but yeah without design pack rs3 looks very cheap inside even seats looks better on my s3 as has grey stiching and not black like rs3

Can you share these please. What makes you think the dash needs to be stripped to change just the coloured strips?I found parts number for vents but they not easy to swap need to strip whole dash wich i think its not worth

You want red or green ?
On ebay there is vents and you can see how they are fitted for sure you have to remove thst carbon long piece as they mounted under it
I really want to see someone with a RHD try this. I don’t think that they’ll fit to be honest. But if they do it would be great.

what you mean ? Im not selling them
Audi sells RHD vents with the coloured bits in them? But you can’t spec them from factory?
I was originally meaning that I assume they’re for LHD cars and that I hope someone will try them to find out if they’ll fit a RHD car. If someone has access to a parts catalogue it would be interesting to see if the standard vents have the same part number or not, that might tell us?

correct hahah i found parts number on catalog and asked if they are ldh or rhd and got confirmation they are for rhd
also lhd and rhd has different part number
i think they might come next year at some point

That’s interesting. So Audi have and can produce them for RHD but still won’t let us spec them.
To be perfectly honest, I think I’ll give them a skid because without all the accompanying red stitching and stuff they might look a little out of place. But if someone else is doing it, that might change my mind!

Interesting thread. Re the vents, I could get these wrapped, (Red) as that would be tough enough to protect from waring out. I have a few chaps i use so simple enough to do, just getting them out without damaging will be the tricky part, or even painted and lacquered?? Also surely the L/H drive vents are like for like as its the actual dash mould thats different, hence likely that the vents could be purchased and retro fitted? Seat belts, as mentioned earlier are an easy upgrade. Re the seat stitching, i know several class upholsterers that can undertake this. along with re trimming the steering wheel in Alcantara with the 12 o clock ring. So net net should be easy enough to add the "colour" to the interior.
I have specced a carbon black edition and this definitely comes with a flat bottom steering wheel
You’d not be able to wrap the parts that are meant to be coloured, they have a part on it that slides so would probably jam up or be too stiff to move if it had a wrap on it.
And yes your correct, the carbon does come with the flat bottom. Only the vorsprung and LE have the round
Yeah fair shout, and after reading that the vents can be purchased in Tango Red, sack that idea!!!!! LOL I'll see if i can get some sort of group discount should enough folks want to change there vents
