Default Ordered as part of the car

another add on option. Just learnt the xenon bulbs cost 60 to 80 uk pounds each! Then dealer has to fit them in if they do blow.

U can tell if the A3 has the xenon option or not in normal daytime from the outer ring of the light housing. The Xenon housing option have these robot eye like design. The standard will kinda look like a shiny satalite dish.

Default Them rims

Hi, When I first got the car I had 17" rims exactly the same design as yours. After a few months I went for the 19" non-oem RS6 design. Nice to look at, but as a everyday car, I wouldn't recommended it at all. Especially when more than 1 passanger was at the back, the scraping of the wheel arches was annoying, ride felt bumpy and tyres are quite expensive to replace. So I downgraded a size, 18". Much better, no annoying scraping sounds and ride was smooth. This is the car now....

Give us a grin luv....

Default Arizona probably more preferable for hot-weather testing than Gobi Desert.

Also, not hot enough in Europe right now.

Thanks. I've been thinking about some 18" RS6 rims. The RS4s are nice!
