Servicing carried out in accordance with Audi’s Service Schedule Requirements

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:

New in stock at Automotive Addiction—a true RS original. This Audi RS3 8V Sportback, powered by the revered DAZA engine, has been cared for by three Audi enthusiasts in its life so far. It stands today as a testament to Audi’s original vision for the 8V platform—an unmodified, completely standard example that captures the essence of the RS3 in its purest form.

From the moment it left the factory, this RS3 was destined to be extraordinary. Equipped with over £9,000 in factory-optional extras, it exudes sophistication and performance. Among its highlights are the Matrix LED Headlights, Supersport Seats, Carbon Interior Inlays, Bang & Olufsen Sound System, Extended Leather Interior Package, and the RS Sports Exhaust System—crafted to unleash the full symphony of the DAZA engine.

With fewer than 35,000 miles and presented in stunning Daytona Grey Pearl paintwork, this RS3 stands as a testament to integrity. Never involved in an accident and free from mileage blockers, its authenticity is fully verified and guaranteed. Every vehicle we sell undergoes our industry-leading, rigorous inspection process, designed to uncover every detail beyond what the eye can see.

You may be wondering, “Why is a pre-2019 RS3 so special?” Well, this model comes without the OPF restrictions, so the exhaust note is raw, aggressive, and unfiltered—offering an auditory experience unmatched in modern vehicles. The absence of OPF also reduces backpressure, sharpening throttle response and delivering a more visceral connection to the road. As many owners have embraced modifications, finding a bone-stock DAZA-powered RS3 is becoming a rarity. This car offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of unaltered performance heritage.

This RS3 is now undergoing our industry-leading, up-to-100-hour preparation process (RRP £1,200), meticulously crafted to satisfy even the most exacting collector. The journey of our 60-hour detailing process begins in our wash bay, including a full wheels-off decontamination wash. From there, the car enters our custom-built preparation booths where meticulous care is given to every fine detail, such as intricate areas like the backbox and disc centers. The interior is then rigorously cleaned, followed by multi-stage paint correction to achieve a flawless finish. Finally, the RS3 is showcased in our marketing booth, ready for you to admire and collect!

The Audi RS3 8V Sportback is more than a car—it’s an opportunity to own an authentic piece of Audi performance history. Contact us today to learn more about this remarkable vehicle or to secure it with a deposit.
