Sorry mate can't help you there.  Maybe your Firewall/ISP blocking the external image/video sources?!?

 

 

 

Banter!!!

 

No mate, this is my first RS3 but not my first time in an Audi.  My last 2 previous examples:

Nice car mate and the best colour(biased mind cos mine is Daytona grey ) and have to agree with you about the alu pack When I ordered mine I specified the black styling package and when they unveiled it in the showroom I knew I'd made the right decision. Anyway welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy the RS3 experience

I'm not 100% convinced on the wheels yet, so I'm going to try them this weekend and see if they are keepers!

 

Suspension wise for now it's just a set of H&R Springs as I'm waiting on some bits from my Beemer to be sold before I purchase a set of KW DDC coils.

What wheels are you fitting? Daytona is the only colour that actually suits the standard wheels I think.

 

And are you doing a straight swap with the grill, or just swapping the honeycomb part and keeping the silver surround? I've always thought completely black trim on the darker cars makes it look a bit unfinished - like the surround is yet to be fitted.

The grill will be a straight swap for sure.  No silver for me!  I might even swap the mirror 'caps' and get some stock A3 ones painted gloss black.

 

Wheels for now remain a 'secret' mate as like you I think the stock Rotor's actually suit/work with the Daytona.

Lovely car Nobber.

I really rate APS.
They have just won Audi Driver's Independent Service Provider Award for the 9th consecutive year, having won it every year they have been in business. A fantastic achievement.

I must be one of the few that like the rotors, I've had them in 18" on the Sprint Blue S3 Black Edition 3dr, now in 19" on the Misano RS3 and I really like the deeper concave dish of those fitted to the S5 and RS4 .

I've got to say that I think Daytona grey suits the rotors only thing I would say though is you have to be careful not to kerb them which is quite easy to do as my wife found out when she went down to London in it a couple of months ago.mind you she did pay to have them fixed and they are now as good as new

A friend of mine rates APS very very highly too and from the conversations I've had with them so far I can understand why they've won the award continually. They have been nothing but helpful and informative to me. It's such a shame they don't have a donor car or open weekends or I would use them too but as they are quite a trek from me it'd be hard to justify loosing a days wages to go there.

I totally agree, the rotors really work on the grey and I have been looking at the deeper concave version as a possible replacement.

I will change the wheels for sure, it's just a case of to what and when!

Outside of warranty, APS have done all the work on my last Audi. Would recommend them to anyone. A wealth of knowledge and experience without any ego or sales pitch.

 

Audi, If you're wondering how to do customer service properly, pop down to Brackley.

Really can't wait to see your car when it's done mate!!  Sounds insane from what you've told me!

 

As for me, the plans are:
 

1st - Order of business is the bloody grill, makes me cringe when I see the alu one on there.

2nd - Interior lighting.

3rd - Secondary de-cat, upgraded propshaft bolts, H&R's, rear ARB and downpipe.

4th - Wheels (maybe).
