Not the greatest snaps as i spotted it in the car park at work and did a few quick covert shots out the window  :signLOL:
I'm not a fan of the wheels at all  :sick: would look alot better without the red lip IMO  :wink:

Yeah I'm not keen on them either. Seeing as we are on the subject of new Audi's, I saw a White S7 Sportback when I was at Morrison's earlier. have never seen one before.

with some different wheels with the correct offset to fill the flared arches, I could be tempted to put my hand in my pocket :laugh:

Come to Bradford...think 50% of the RS3's ended up here. Seen quite a few now.


Had one in at the groups York Audi and the guy who ordered it traded it in after 2 weeks, didnt like it...they should also have the RS style exhausts, 1 either side.

That blue one looks very nice.

I gotta say that the rear view of the RS3 is very uninspiring. Spend around £45k and then more dosh on mods? Hmm, expensive!

Pretty much sums up the entire Audi range... None of the models have any identity (especially A3 A4 A6 A7)

Just to play devils advocate which of the VW range has an inspiring back end :confused:

I find women have inspiring back ends not cars.  :wink:

Personally i like the understated looks of the RS3. Order it de-badged and people would think it's an S3 or even an S-Line A3 with some fancy wheels. That for me = Win.

Blue one looks quite nice, but overall very dissappointing looks, especially the back end and side profile.  A3/S3/RS3 body shape just doesn't do it for me.  :sick:
