Protect | Modify | Retrofit – Our Bespoke In-House Services:
When purchasing a vehicle from Automotive Addiction, we offer a range of bespoke in-house services designed to protect, modify, and retrofit genuine OEM equipment to your new vehicle prior to delivery.

Paint Protection

Paint Protection Film (PPF): As a Suntek Approved PPF Installer, we offer premium paint protection film solutions designed to preserve your vehicle’s paintwork against stone chips, road debris, scratches, and everyday wear. Using plotter-cut, vehicle-specific patterns, PPF is applied with exceptional accuracy for a seamless, factory-quality finish. The film features self-healing properties, allowing light scratches and swirl marks to disappear with heat, helping to maintain a flawless appearance over time. Coverage options range from high-impact areas to full-vehicle protection, ensuring long-term preservation without compromising appearance.

Ceramic Coating Paint Protection: We are a CarPro Approved Installer and also offer Gtechniq ceramic coatings, providing durable, high-performance paint protection with a deep, gloss finish. Ceramic coatings help protect against UV exposure, environmental contaminants, and chemical staining, while significantly reducing maintenance requirements and keeping your vehicle looking its best for longer.

Security Protection

Thatcham & TASSA Approved Security System: We supply and install Global Telemetrics Thatcham-approved tracking systems, including S5+, S5, and S7 options, with immobilisation available where applicable. These insurer-recognised systems provide advanced theft protection and real-time vehicle monitoring. We also offer the TASSA-approved Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser 2, a discreet, keyless security solution. Both options are professionally installed in-house, offering enhanced security and complete peace of mind.

Retrofit (Factory OEM)

Have you found a vehicle you love, but it’s missing a factory option you would really like? No problem — we’ve got you covered.

Our Factory Retrofit Service allows genuine manufacturer options that were available from new, but not originally specified, to be professionally retrofitted prior to sale. Popular retrofit options include Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, reversing cameras, heated seats, folding mirrors, and tyre pressure monitoring systems, among others (model dependent). All work is completed in-house using genuine OEM manufacturer parts and correct coding, ensuring a seamless, factory-correct finish — as if the vehicle left the factory with the option installed.

Modify

Our in-house modification services range from subtle factory-style OEM+ enhancements to full bespoke builds. With extensive experience, we deliver projects of any scale, tailored entirely to your vision.

Cosmetic Modifications: This can be as understated or as bold as you choose. Options include badge colour changes, brake caliper colour refinishing, complete wheel design upgrades, and the supply and installation of bodykits, including carbon-fibre kits, plus much more. Every visual modification is completed with close attention to detail, whether the aim is subtle personalisation or a more aggressive aesthetic.

Performance Modifications: This can range from subtle enhancements to comprehensive performance builds. Options include professional ECU and TCU calibrations, engine and transmission upgrades, suspension enhancements such as coilover systems, and selected chassis improvements, all specified to suit the vehicle and its intended use. Whether the aim is increased performance, improved drivability, or sharper handling, each modification is carefully planned and executed to deliver the desired results while maintaining reliability and everyday usability.

Model Overview:

Finished in Mythos Black Metallic, this stunning 2018 RS3 Saloon has covered just 22,600 miles with only two RS-enthusiast owners from new. With just 4 recorded launches, it’s clear this car has been well cared for. Selling on behalf of a long-term Automotive Addiction client, we’ve known this RS3 since 2020 and can provide a full, documented history, including servicing and carefully chosen upgrades.

This is an exceptional example of the RS3 8V – hosting over £4,400 worth of factory optional extras and tasteful modifications and meticulously maintained to a high enthusiast standard…

Powered by the highly sought-after DAZA engine with its robust aluminium block and non-OPF configuration, this RS3 features MRC Tuning Stage 2 ECU and TCU calibrations, delivering an exhilarating 510PS. These performance enhancements are backed by over £8,400 in premium upgrades, including a Wagner EVO 3 intercooler, Wagner downpipe, and a Forge Motorsport intake system paired with a matching turbo elbow. The result is a significantly sharpened driving experience, with faster throttle response, optimized airflow, and enhanced power delivery across the entire rev range.

Visually, it has been subtly transformed to match its enhanced performance credentials. A combination of Racingline Sport Lowering Springs, H&R wheel spacers, and a Horsch carbon front splitter gives the car a lower, wider and more assertive stance. The aesthetic is completed by a set of satin silver 20-inch OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT wheels, offering a lightweight, motorsport-inspired contrast to the deep black paintwork.

Inside, the RS3 maintains Audi’s renowned balance of performance and luxury. Electrically adjustable front Super Sport seats are finished in Fine Nappa Leather with Rock Grey contrast stitching, featuring four-way electric lumbar support for optimal long-distance comfort. The extended interior leather pack further elevates the cabin, blending premium materials with a sharp, purposeful design that mirrors the exterior’s aggressive character.

This Audi RS3 8V Saloon will be subjected to Automotive Addiction’s signature preparation process, where it will be meticulously detailed by our in-house professional detailers with a decade of experience in our bespoke detailing studio adding our difference to this Audi RS3 prior to sale. This includes treatments to the Paintwork, Undercarriage, Wheels, Brakes, Glass and Interior (£1,200 worth of detailing prior to sale).

Please get in touch without delay to discuss this RS3 or to secure it with a deposit.
