Hi everyone! I’m Olly, I am also Wills3y’s brother!

I Just thought I’d start a thread to show you all my car and get some opinions...

So, since the pictures I’ve removed the rear wheel spacers and fitted the crash bar cover behind the grill.

I’ve fitted primary and secondary decats
Removed the rear Audi badge
Replaced the front Audi Bagde
Today it was lowered on HR Springs

Future plans are:

Remap
Get the all black (with a little red) RS3 Grill badge
Gloss black wheels with a machined lip
Small wheel spacers (10mm & 15mm)

Personally i really like the Nardo Grey / Aluminium Pack combination so will keeping that look pretty much as it is.

More update pics to follow! What did you think?

Thanks Olly

In my experience front ones ok although slightly diff shade of black from the grill and the rear ones I got were a joke just took it off and binned it. Unless Audi do genuine ones I wouldn’t bother but agree they look much better

Looks like it slipped through the paint shop when the sprayers were turned off !

i have all genuine Audi black badges fitted to my 2016 PFL, although the front grille RS3 badge has a different fitment as it’s for the FL cars so you have to modify it 

 

i prefer the gloss black as my car has the gloss black pack on it and black/diamond cut wheels so nothing else was chrome 

 

i have no idea why the pictures have loaded upside down

How easy was it to change the front rings and badges ?

Dundee Audi are doing a fantastic deal on black RS3 badges. £41 each or £120 for the pair 😂

No i got them from my local TPS think i paid about £100 with % discount for all, hardest part was getting all the old double sided residue off the rings on boot lid, i ended up using some unleaded petrol on a clean micro lol

 

RS3 rear badge comes ready spaced on backing so that’s pretty simple, front rings simply clip out using a plastic trim tool, as said i had to trim some tabs off the back of the front RS3 badge as it’s for the later grille and differed slightly 

 

 

im happy with how it looks, although i kept the original badges just in case i change my mind
