Hi, following 5 years of C63 estate ownership I've just ordered an RS3 Sportback for my other half's daily driver. I had ordered her a new C63s but on collection there was a small scratch in the matte magno paint and the dealer thought polishing it was an appropriate repair on a ÂŁ75k car!

 

I understand the car will be built week 49 (10th December) but we're going to wait to collect the car on or around the 1st March. Chances are it'll be delayed slightly as we've gone for Audi Exclusive paint and the dealer tells me this usually adds a few weeks to the build.

 

Spec is as follows;

 

Porsche Riviera Blue

Gloss Anthracite wheels

Supersport seats with grey stitching

Comfort and Sound Package

Deletion of model badges at rear

Gloss black styling pack

Panoramic sunroof

Privacy glass

Extended interior upholstery pack

Dimming and folding mirrors

Audi active lane assist and side assist and Traffic Jam assist

Driver Assistance Pack

Red Calipers

RS Sports Exhaust

RS Sports suspension with magnetic ride

Applaud the model delete option. You will get less "hassle" for sure.

Thanks all, we debadge all of our cars so they're slightly less conspicuous.

 

Now I just need to convince her to let me drive it.

I don't think a Riviera Blue RS3 is going to be particularly less conspicuous without the badges to be honest lol.

There was a riviera RS4 at RS3 Fest last weekend and with the black pack it looks stunning.

Very true, somewhat less stealthy than her current debadged silver c63 estate.

 

But with the option to paint it in any colour we wanted, Riviera was a no brainer.

 

There was a Riviera RS4 for sale at Northampton Audi when we placed our order

It is Riviera Blue Dan, it's still sat on transport blocks in the photo hence the arch gap is so big

Welcome..... great spec and colour.

Interestingly this one below was at Bristol Audi over xmas...... is it the same colour?

My pics from my phone are a bit rubbish, but looks similar to the blue you have....

I thought it was fab, but had some mixed reactions when posted.....and not sure what the colour was as it's defo not a standard
Not sure if different wheel colour makes a difference...

I agree, it looks too wishy washy, definitely needs the black pack.
