Title: The Eagle Has Landed ...............
Post by: vRStu on September 01, 2010, 11:01:18 pm
Judgement day, and after parting with quite a large amount of cash I picked up my new car this afternoon.  :driver:

A couple of quick ones from today.  Thanks to our very own Mr H for his efforts with the pictures -

wow thats some car , well done  :happy2:, they are the audi rims I was trying to explain to everyone on here a few months back.
reckon they would look amazing on a mk5 and even better customised in some way (gloss black + polsih edge bit etc )

Has it got a full glass roof?
Title: Re: The Eagle Has Landed ...............
Post by: neg on September 01, 2010, 11:47:08 pm
Very nice, just what I would like - SB with the roof in black or white, I'm not fussy!

Liking the wheels, TTRS style.  Were they an option or standard now?

Post by: vRStu on September 02, 2010, 06:58:37 am
They are the standard wheels for the MY11 Black Edition.  Sadly only 18" and not the 19" as seen on the TTRS, but nice none the less.  I think they might look nice in a gloss black.  :wink:

It's been a long wait, but worth it I think.  I think I'll need to adjust myself to driving with the S-Tronic, it takes some getting used to.  It's very eager to change up if you let it.

Yes it is a full glass roof, you can't really see it in those pictures.  Maybe easier to see in this other picture -

Corrrrr  :drool:

Massive buzz Stu?
More of a buzz when you picked the VRS up for the first time? I bet  :wink:

I didnt realise they came in 5 door as well as 3! I thought it was 3 door only!

Nevertheless, IMO 5 door looks much nicer - I like the shape of the rear lights etc better.

Its a stunner!

Thanks for the kind words.

Just a few miles to and from work today.  Hopefully out for some fun tonight  :evilgrin:

This DSG is really awesome but it is going to take some getting used to, especially as our other car is a manual.  The car seems to want to change up all the time, you can easily be in 6th at 30mph!!

Gotta be honest I really wasn't sure about the rims at first, I actually really like both the other BE ones and the standard S3 Facelift ones.

Yours will be 19's I guess.

Whats BE?

When I first saw those rims also I wasnt sure about them either, but they have grown on me massively over the months, especially the whole two tone thing.

On my old S3 it was known as the Black Optics Pack (Windows, grille surround and the interior inserts).  The BE is a model wide special edition which is £500 over the price of an S-Line or S3.  The down side of that is it will mean a lot of cars will have these wheels, it won't be exclusive to S models.  Which may be a mistake IMHO.
