Default New US 2016 S3 Glacier White

Just got this a few weeks ago. Traded in my beloved but aging 2001 TT convertible for a more family-friendly car. It's a nice day here today so I took a few pictures, although I probably could have washed it first.

It's a 2016 Glacier White with black interior, prestige model, moon roof, red brake calipers.

My (strictly-utilitarian and appearance) mods:
- Roof rack bars (not currently attached)
- Window tinting (all windows except the front window) : 25% (the maximum legal amount in my state)
- Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires to replace the Summer tires (Winter is coming)
- Premium S3 floor mats with silver piping (I really like this, the silver piping really looks great inside the all-black interior)
- Genuine Audi Sport license plate holders (still running with temp plates)

A few pictures:

I'm considering switching out the front grille for the RS3-style honeycomb version, but I have to make sure it will fit with the cut-out beneath the license plate for the pre-sense/variable cruise control sensors.

I will likely wait to make any performance-changing mods until after my warranty expires (will likely do a stage 1 chip).

Overall, I love this car and am happy to have traded up!

The S3 Saloon is a sweet looking car and white with the black roof..... awesome!

I wouldn't change the front grill if I were you but that's a matter of taste. I too went from a TT (2009 TTS) to an S3

Enjoy and drive with care!

Very nice looking ride! Congrats. Dread winter coming myself. I opted to put snows on separate wheels however to avoid messing up the nice Audi 19 in OEM wheels. I agree with Richard on the grill. The honeycomb grill is sharp looking but I think it goes better with cars with a full black out package; no chrome. For me, the chrome accents add to the nice lines of the car. At least on my Mythos Black S3. Piping on the floor mats does look good. Might consider that for the spring time. Pretty soon I'll be popping in my WeatherTechs. Dread winter. LOL

Congratulations !
If the state of Washington does not require a front license plate remove the holder. That greatly improves the look of the grill area.

Sadly, Washington does require a front plate, or the holder would definitely be off :/

Great looking ride but then I'm biased having a Glacier White car too. Like the floor mats. We only get a generic mat here.
