Question......

Post by funkygibbo » Mon Dec 05, 2011 11:00 am

I have a Suzuka Grey RS3 on order with black styling kit and privacy glass, I would like to get the look of a mini Q estate. So should I add to my order a set of black roof rails to achieve my Q car look?

Yeah, I would. Is your concern because of the colour of your car?

I choose the roof rails because I wanted the mini Avant look but my car is Daytona.

Yeah, sorry mean't Avant look :oops: that's the look I am trying to get. If possible could you post a side view of yours?

PS Really like Daytona and was really was split between that and Suzuka. I have only seen Suzuka on an R8 and am a bit apprehensive about my choice as no one in the entire universe seems to have taken delivery, however looks good in Ibis so thinking Suzuka should too.

I am with Steve, this was a defo for me and it wouldn't matter what colour.
I did look at a TTRS in Suzuka Grey with Ali Styling Pack. I thought it would have been better without it and TBO it will look better with black optics.
Suzuka is good colour.

I've ordered Suzuka Grey with black optics, was also going to add the black roof rails, but having seen them on an Ibis white one, was a little disappointed with them :audibash:

Firstly thanks SteveCuz for taking the time to post a pic, the look you have is just what I'm looking for, and I think the roof rails do give it more the look of an Avant.

Moschop5, where did you see an Ibis in white with the rails? and also do you have any dates for you car? Suzuka seems to be as rare as rocking horse sh!t.

Cheers

Funkygibbo,

Have a look here...this is the one I also test drove too. :biggrin3:

No date on mine, but Week 50 was being bandied round and also the dealer made a point of speaking to the R8 team as I questioned as to why you can buy an R8 or TTRS in Suzuka Grey and it not be delayed, but the RS3 has been somewhat different... :audibash:

So whether it arrives before christmas or not I've still no idea..Mrs Choppers will get her Glacier White Black Edition A1 before I see mine... :boohoo:

Thank you for posting that, brilliant pics and article :bowdown:

Audi's build quality does seam to be a bit flakey on these cars, we have had a lunched gear box, a car with a left hand drive door lock switch (not connected) and this one with missing drug dealer glass ..

Fingers crossed for mine . :kissmyrings:

Obviously people don't know what Suzuka is if only five have ordered. What an amazing colour.
