Just such a shame Audi have stopped doing black exhaust tips now, silver tips looks out of place on all of these cars with black packs / mirrors as it is the only silver part left.

[scotexile]

Think this might be an RS3 issue - opt for a sports exhaust on the 4/5/6/7 and they come with black tips (pretty sure that's right). I agree though, the silver looks out of place against a black diffuser/trim

[AudiMatt]

You're right Scotexile, 4/5/6/7 come with black exhaust tips, and now even the newly available Sports Exhaust option for S8 has black tips. But for some reason the RS3, nor the RSQ3 have them! Can't think why?!

[Rs3simon]

Really like that in fact just asked the dealer to change my order to this colour. Had it on my S3 and when detailed and sitting in the sun it looks awesome.

That's got to be the best looking 8V I've ever seen!
If I was ever having one that'd be the colour

[Yeoy]

Loving the design pack! First time I've seen a photo of it like that!
I've got sprint blue on my s3. It's a fantastic colour!

[Mattjj82]

Agreed does like good! What tyres is it running as they appear to have quite a stretched look?

[AudiMatt]

These are the factory Pirelli P-Zero's Mattjj82, 255/30/19 on an 8.5j front rim, and 235/35/19 on 8j rim rear.

[Mattjj82]

Ok that's interesting! Do they look "stretched" in the real life or is it just the pics?
I'm not sure how everyone rates the P-Zeros on the MK2 for performance?
They're good tyres and have had them on other cars but don't think they'd beat the MPSS but I love the slightly stretched look!

Them are the same sizes I've been running on (8P) BLUEY for 3-years now but with MPSS and no rear-wheel arch issues.

 

Looks good AudiMatt.

Pirellis are good soft sticky tyres but they do not last, MPSS and F1 ASY2's are as good if not better all weathers and last a lot longer too.

Very, very nice though I do prefer Cornflower blue and Cornflower blue with black tips even...

I've had good and bad experiences with F1s over the years, but overall I quite liked them but not for all weathers like you say.

I've put 25,000 through a set of PZeros; I thought that was pretty good on a 4WD car to be honest. What sort of mileage are you guys seeing with the Michelins?

[Paul]

I've had a bad experience with the early F1 tyres when they were "the" tyre to have. I won't use GY again.

[P_G]

Paul, I still maintain you may have got a set of Chinese spec F1's as I know a few people who had a similar experience. Problem was you couldn't tell and some main tyre retailers were selling them as they had got them on the cheap.

[Paul]

Hi P_G

It's possible. We will never know. They were supplied/fitted by a tyre warehouse in Coventry , I've never seen a place like it since, customers and cars everywhere and bouncers running the flow of customers in and out.

GY had the full set of 4 back for inspection and issued a statement they were all within manufacturing tolerances.
There was no mention of their region of origin or doubts of authenticity.
