Do I F as like !

 

It looks absolute crap compared to the Blue  one (Sepang?)

 

The grey one looks dull as hell , no character to it just boring, nondescript, boring.unimaginative,boring,dreary,boring,sad even.

 

I know I go on about it (a bit ) but bloody hell how anyone likes this colour is beyond me .....

 

sorry Nardo owners its a personal thing 

 

But its not my money so its not my choice  :mellow:

I think it's probably Ara blue mate, looks similar in pictures, but it's a bit lighter than Sepang.

As for that thing on the end it's just vile - reminds me of the putty we used to pick off the window frames to lob at each other in school.

Abit touchy today Roy! If i was given i would admittedly change the colour. However people on Grassroots motor sport love the colour:

The lower of the two pictures looks ok, but the top picture is rancid, doesn't even look like nardo. To my eyes it has a mucky green tinge to it.

I still don't understand why they have had to put the soddin rear reflectors in the bumper seperate from the light cluster ???

 

It was integrated for the pre-facelift.

 

Just looks **** seperate like that.

Rear reflectors : Apparently it's to do with having led lights. And no, don't understand either. Pretty sure I saw a misano fl RS3 saloon the other day in glasgow but might have been an S3. Either way was nice in red.

Just the LED design of the newer clusters Snake....

No biggie though......

I do understand what you say though.

We were examining the R rear clusters a week ago trying to figure out why a large part of the middle section had nothing going on.......

If it is to do with the re-designed LED lights then fair enough but still lazy on Audi's part IMO.

 

The wife's TT has full LED rear lights and the reflectors are intergrated into those, albeit they were LED from day 1 I guess.

 

Cool lights on the TT though ....

A vid of the road test of the cars in the pictures above.........

 

Expect a few more to also appear on Archie Hamilton and Mr JWW's chanel's soon.

 

 

Edit:

As predicted, here's Archie Hamilton's offering. Its a bit better towards the second half of the vid when he is driving it on his own. It's mostly sportback but there some stuff on the saloon too. Interesting comments about the comparison with his A45 AMG (which is supposed to be stage 2).

Loving the Nardo RS3 Saloon

But probably order Ara Blue if getting one now as that is a very nice colour.

Not keen on the alloys though

Ara blue does look nice, I saw an S3 in a showroom last week and an R8 V10 plus prior to that both in Ara.

imo though it just doesn't quite have the depth of Sepang.

If I go FL it will be in Merlin or Mica Racing Blue.

I must admit I'm tempted to just jump ship from the rapidly aging 8p and get the saloon. Man math isn't adding up and wife thinks it's looks boring! She is the one who will be driving it. Still quite excotd about the improvements Audi are said to have made. Apparently you can spec this out to well over 60k!! Went on the configurator and don't See Me spending more than 50k if you just pic sensible options. Specialist colours, ceramic breaks amongst other options perhaps a bit ott. The other option is to go for a used rs6 at the same price point ... Anyone else seriously considering the move from 8p?
