good choice Mike, the White with gloss black trim is a massive improvement looks wise over that blue one i droveMikeFish wrote:If they did it as a saloon I'd have been tempted to get one myself. But it's all good as I always drive at the weekends and get to choose the car. Currently its always the 4 but that might change once the 3 turns up. Or I get a 6.RIV wrote:Your be fighting over that mike, what colour has she gone for, get some spacers on order, they need themMy wife ordered 2 weeks ago and still no build week.
I won't be ordering spacers yet as she is after a set of aftermarket wheels already so might not need any spacers depending on widths and offsets etc.
She's gone for a white one with gloss black trim.

That looks a tad dull... Needs a bit more something.

Re: RS3 Ordered!
The whole car is very understated aka dull. I think that's why so many have gone for Nardo (different to what you normally see on the road) or Sepang (amazing colour!), just to make it stand out a bit more.doodlebug wrote:That looks a tad dull... Needs a bit more something.

Re: RS3 Ordered!
It does look better in the flesh than in those pictures though.
Re: RS3 Ordered!
Where's the arches and deep concave wheels?
Apart from exhausts and front splitter it looks like a S-line Diesel!

Re: RS3 Ordered!
Is the Audi UK car Ibis? Doesn't look like Glacier. Sepang is a great colour, as mentioned but if it's going to be an option on all 'A' cars, that would put me off.

I didn't study it too hard, but I think you're right, it didn't have that green shimmer glacier does.marc1 wrote:Is the Audi UK car Ibis? Doesn't look like Glacier. Sepang is a great colour, as mentioned but if it's going to be an option on all 'A' cars, that would put me off.

Re: RS3 Ordered!
Audi really copped out on the wheels, either lazy design or the budget run out. The S3 wheels in 19 inch are better. Rotors have been done to death.
Some of the prices on Auto trader are just crazy as well.
When I return to the UK I may be tempted by a cheaper second hand example just for that engine and exhaust. But for now I'll keep my cash.

Re: RS3 Ordered!
The rotors are a brand new design. It's not like they've used some old ones lying around in the back room.
I agree it would have been nice to have at least one other alternative but rotors are the tradition on this type of car.
They are certainly not my favourite Audi wheel but I do think they look better than the original rotor design.
