Drewcam Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Was on M6 at Carlisle for a couple of junctions heading north and what i think was a Fiat Punto sporting and an S3 plate G18 ** came hurtling past me at speed. I put the foot down and cought them up. S3 slowed down a touch and i passed slowly but still at speed, just touching triple figures . He let me get ahead a bit and then he put his foot down. Getting larger in the mirror very quickly. Feck this is my junction coming up and i need to come off. As he passes i give him a thumbs up and a flash. I love when people are up for a play i just wish i didn't have to come off when i did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s4_sat Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Was it a nogaro blue one with Abt alloys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewcam Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 No, met grey. This one didn't have silver mirrors either. I'v seen others without these also. Did earlier S3's come without silver mirrors ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Owners can choose to replace the silver mirrors on a brand new Audi RS/S model with standard ones at the time of purchase/speccing can't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 They can indeed - I'd go for body coloured on an S4 for sure - but no the original 1999 S3 came with standard body coloured mirrors. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Just love the stealth look. Plus I wouldn't want pikeys being drawn to them - the chrome mirrors. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 No idea how I know this, but the early S3's definitely came without the silver mirrors... ...er, as Ian C already said. Damn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 The mirrors were a cost option on the S3, £225 IIRC. They were a non cost option in Europe. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
