Here are a few pics.

Wow that looks fantastic !

 

[Eric Lee]

It's the first car delivered in my country.
I went against most popular opinion of going Gloss Black with the fins/spoiler.
The Audi dealer admitted that this Aluminium Matt finish worked out well Nardo Grey.
They originally wanted me to go Gloss Black. I took a gamble.

Congratulations Eric, you car looks fantastic. It looks like you have gone for the standard wheels, which is something I was thinking of doing, how do they look in person?
What colour interior did you go for?

 

[Eric Lee]

The standard wheels look ok in my opinion. Probably better if it was blacked out (my wife would say why waste money - just don't wash the wheels then its blacked out).
The options I got:
1- Matt Alu Pack
2- Sports seats with diamond grey stitching.
3- Sports exhausts
Virtual Cockpit was an outlandishly expensive option in my country (I mean HKD $ 80000 - or USD $ 11000 seriously) I am not going to spend that kind of money on it.

Beautiful! What country is that?

The VC is standard in the UK - seems mean not to include it.

It will be Hong Kong as in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD)

We pay a huge tax in Hong Kong (Government tries to keep cars off the road in our tiny city).
For my RS3 the cost is equivalent to GBP $ 810,000 or about USD$ 100,600.

Love the car. But if I had to complain about anything it's the key fob.
Audi could have done a better job here. The key is bulky, lacks design and frankly dated in looks.
It's like a key from the 90's

Oh god, another person complaining about the key, just like the guy in Australia.

It's just a key, I don't get it?!

 

[jlindstrom]

I'm cool with that - if key is the only complaint, it must be a pretty damn good car!

Congratulations!

Do you have VCDS? lol.

I'm really hoping with a few months, you can spec the sportback wheels on the Saloon. Hate them so much.

Leaning towards the SportBack now just for that reason.
