As DK said the RS3 does have twin ovals harking but on one side to hark back to the original RS's which were also only available in estate form.

The C5 RS6 was the first to have large twin ovals on either side.

It is subtle but the exhaust tips are ovals and mine is even more subtle because they are black but to me the sleeper image is what an RS is all about.

I love the RS3 to bits and can't think is a better new car on the market for the same money. It's such a complete pocket rocket.

Did DK say that?????

I was meaning the big ovals each side like on RS4/5/6 TTRS. RS3 is the only one that is different. I'd like to see an RS3 with the big twin ovals. Think it would look cool.

passed a black RS 3 today, with alu optics

looked STUNNING (from the front)

just wish the rear looked as good

if the rear arches where blistered and it has PROPER twin ovals (sorry Steve! lol) I would have ordered one

as it is, side and rear profile they look tooooooooo much like a boggo A3

I mean't he was saying the rs2 and rs4 had the same twin ovals on one side.

Saw pics recently of a modified rs3 with the ovals on either side.

Didn't look quite right to me.

yes that looks gash

the application is all wrong and very aftermarket

i still think it would look good if it was a proper buldged RS bumper

It might look ok if some <beep> didn't ruin the rest of the car. Did a black RS3 crash into a red RS3? Bradford special.

Yeah that's the one.

Each to their own.

It might be nicer for other drivers if the rear of the rs3 is better, after all that's all they get to see ;-) LOL
