You don't have to buy the black edition to get those things!  I bought mine with the black edition trim added by the previous owner as an option, and just fitted the black edition rotor alloys myself.

Dont really get the black editions, they come with smaller wheels and i personally prefer the chrome grill, theres too many tdi's shooting around with black grills.

Smaller wheels???   

They come with the standard 18's only the RS3 comes with 19's

[joesgti]

well my s3 came with 19's as standard

Interesting, what reg is that??

Prefer 18's anyway, the price difference between the 2 for the rubber is criminal!!

no, you don't have to buy the BE package, but as a package it's worth a lot more than the parts individually. in fact you hardly ever see standard cars for that reason

well my s3 came with 19's as standard 

no S3 comes with 19" as standard, and those style wheels are not available in 19" from Audi at all. and your centre caps look wrong, so i'm thinking reps mate. very good reps, but reps none the less

What do you mean by 'as a package it's worth a lot more'??

I think the blaCk edition trim is an Audi option, is it not?

[sub39h]

you said that you can get the bits individually, and you can.  i just meant that it's worth a lot more than Audi charge for it, say if the package wasn't available and you were to get the bits individually. 

the package is so competitively priced i think it would be silly not to get it personally. once you've addded on, say BT and BOSE, the rest of the extras are only costing you £200 more or something.

and then it's a "Black Edition" so it's worth more come sale time.

This is really weird.  I bought mine 2nd hand with all those extras, but not the B/Edition alloys which I added myself 

I wonder why it was specced like that???

maybe the Black Edition package wasn't available at the time? or it could have reduced the waiting time. i remember in early 2010 there was a massive wait for Black Editions (6 months+) but the regular cars were being churned out in 12 weeks as per normal. maybe the first owner/dealership didn't want to wait? (i am assuming, of course, that you bought nearly-new)

the chrome door handle trims only applys to MY11+ cars i think - earlier cars didn't have the chrome trim in the first place and they were totally body coloured
