This is my build thread which i'll keep updated throughout ownership.
 
2012 Misano red RS3 with delivery miles on the day i paid the deposit:
 
15C37A4F-E778-4454-B6B9-0D18EB7A9843-268
 
Bit dissapointed they dont have a specific RS3 show plate!

A few pictures i took after its first wash.......didnt take long for the fly brigade to attach themselves to the front!

Then it was onto its first meet/outing at the Manchester Krispy Kreme's meet with the R32oc where we had the usual "Audi corner"

After listening to Anakins Solar Orange TTRS with 2nd cat bypass pipes i was sold on the idea and on the lookout.
 
The following week i got a tip off these were for sale on another forum:
484CD753-DACE-4C1B-AFE0-9FC1366949B3-162
 
So...... within a few days this happened.

Drove across to Totally Dynamic vehicle wrapping in Manchester this morning for a little Aluminium pack retro fit.
 
Top fellas, I'm over the moon with the result. In my opinion its lifted the whole car as i felt there was a little too much red and it blended into every other sportback.
 
The front looks alot more like it should.

Crappy pics which dont do it justice i know but its rained the whole day and it started raining heavily when i got back so just braved the iphone pics.

Very nice pictures...indeed...
You should pick some and suggest them for our anual RS3 calender (@www.audirs3.de)...


Hmm.. I actually already did it for you...

Plans are to remove it all for shows,  Unless i do eventually find a solution i'm happy with for a front plate.

 

I'll be trying a vinyl plate soon too.
