2017 Audi S3 Saloon

[gigjam]

Hi All,

Sold the Abarth and wanted to share my new S3. Picked it up last week and love it so far.

Don't have a lot of pictures yet but will post more as I take them. Plans so far are basic bolt-ons and tune + coilovers.

Cheers!

That looks great!

I really want one of these in Navarra Blue, but your spec works very well.

Be interested to hear your post-mod updates. Enjoy

Love the 2017 screen in the dash.

Much prefer these to the S3 Hatch, looks great.

Wont the coils mess with the DRC?

Lovely car, enjoy.

I like the look of the saloon. Are 'grocery hooks' an option in the states?

KW, at least, make a range of coilovers ( DDC) that wire into the factory DCC system

The A3 saloon really is the pick of the Audi range for me, the perfect size and it just looks spot on.

If I could I would have a silver one, debadged wth a light interior

What a horrid car, it looks too small for what it should be, has it got some sort of body kit on the front or it it factory to have that black "smile" under the grill?

Is this just a saloon version of the A3, I had a CLA and it reminds me of that, wrong.

Navarra blue is gorgeous!

I have some seat time in a current gen TTS with full bolt-ons and JB4 and it rips. Cant wait!

Cheers! The audi virtual cockpit is by far one of my favorite parts about the car

Coil-overs would yes, but I think I'm going to just get springs, the DRC is to good to loose

The size does feel great, silver looks fantastic with stainless grill.

Its stock

each to their own I for instance think the CLA looks revolting.

Me too, that's why i compared them.

Enjoy it though, be boring if we all liked the same things!

Sports exhaust sounds interesting, not an option for this on UK models

Parked up at work

Its just a resonator delete before the muffler. Improves the sound a little, not enough really.

I'm going with a cat-less down-pipe + this stock exhaust with the resonator delete and it's just right for me. Don't what it to drone but want some growl.

Down-pipe I'm after:
