A Bagged, Nardo Grey Saloon Showing How Good A Clean Build Can Truly Be

Laying frame and shining with the help of DunkingBuiscuit- This RS3 is the embodiment of a modern saloon's potential

When Audi launched their 2019 RS3 Saloon, we think the last thing that would ever be on their minds would be their hard work sitting flush with the floor on the streets of the United Kingdom. The release of the outgoing 2019 RS3 model was met with nothing but positive reviews and we can see why. Coated in Audi's legendary Nardo Grey, this 2.5l, five cylinder, quattro-powered machine looks the absolute part.

A 2 Year Long Journey

When Joe Smith first got his hands on his RS3, the first thought that came to his mind was most likely "Hmm, I wonder how this would look slammed..." and here we are, 2 years down the line, with a full Airlift Performance 3P Air Ride kit fitted, allowing the car to sit frame-to-floor with some of the best fitment we've seen on an RS3 in a long time. Although the air suspension is a very key part of the entire build, the first mod Joe decided on was actually a Horace Carbon Front Splitter to add to the aggressive look the car already emits. Once this was fitted, a VividDepth sticker appeared on his car and thus the link needed to make this article possible was made.

Establishing, And Keeping, A Clean Look

With the help of the Horace Carbon Front Splitter, a carbon fiber boot lip and a reflector delete kit, this build comes together to be an awesomely clean daily. We asked Joe how he goes about maintaining his car because as enthusiasts we enjoy keeping our prides and joys as show ready as we can at all times. "DunkingBiscuit" was the response and upon a quick google search we found that https://dunkingbiscuit.co.uk/ has had Joe hooked up with anything he could need to keep that Nardo Grey coating in tip-top shape. Taking a look inside, we spot a few goodies such as a carbon/alcantara steering wheel, carbon paddle shifters, alcantara airbag cover and Audi's beautiful stitching all coming together to make a cockpit fit for a day out on the road paired with the extreme comfort any family sized go-getter needs.

Grocery-Getter and Fun-Haver

While having four doors may be a plus for the family, the RS3 badge evokes a much more powerful message and Joe definitely understood that. Fitted with a Wagner tuning EVO 3 intercooler, Infinit Performance stage 2 ECU & TCU software and an APR Carbon intake kit, this family sized saloon can turn into a pocket rocket with the click of a paddle and the stomp of a foot. To get all the noise out of the 5 cylinder powerhouse, Joe chose Milltek's 4" decat downpipe and non resonated cat back to help him bless the pedestrians out on the open streets of the UK with a sweet and sharp echo as he charges down to the closest Tesco on his way home.
