Nice, sounds like a good spec, did you not fancy it in Nardo?

I may be interested in your S1 when it becomes available :thumbs:

Nardo is nice, but, I'm suspecting there may be a few of them about as it's the free/exclusive RS3 colour. Plus I always wanted a black on black with a base of black car(despite the cleaning schedule that will come with it!). My SQ5 would have been Panther Black but for the Wife 'Always wanting a white car'!

I'll be sure to give you shout come July/August when the S1 goes up for sale.

Panther black looks awesome when polished up, im sure the RS3 will look great in all stealthy black, look forward to seeing some pics when it arrives.

No worries, always had a thing for the S1, looks cool in vegas yellow too.

It's growing on me. The wife's car is 3 years old this autumn so she is looking at options. I think if there as on to see / hear / drive in a showroom and I took her along she'd order one (although she is not impressed by the lack of buckets).

Ideal spec, think you're right about Nardo, will probably become less special when a few start popping up.

Plenty of pictures/video needed when yours arrives!

I'd argue may as well have a metro regardless.

My wife received a pamphlet from Audi today telling her to call them to arrange a test drive.

LOL, I've been scouring eBay for some Metro seats but they are like rocking horse pooh.

If you find some let me know as would really help me shift my RS 4!
