Preparation That Goes Beyond Perfection:
Our preparation process goes far beyond industry norms – What follows outlines the intensive inspection, detailing, and restoration work carried out on every vehicle we offer for sale.
This MRC tuned Audi RS3 for sale has been subject to our innovative, industry-leading preparation process, involving up to 100-hours of labour-intensive work, designed to satisfy even the most pedantic automotive enthusiast. At every stage, our exacting standards must be met before this Satin Daytona Grey Audi RS3 can be offered for sale by Automotive Addiction.
The first phase of this process is our crucial pre-sale inspections, a comprehensive five-part assessment. This includes a deep-dive diagnostic inspection to verify mileage authenticity, review the launch-control counter, and identify any stored fault codes. This is followed by a 260-point mechanical inspection and road test to ensure that what lies beneath the paintwork meets the highest standards of mechanical integrity.
An in-depth 150-point visual inspection of all exterior and interior surfaces is then carried out, including bodywork, paintwork, wheels, glass, and interior materials. We also complete a rigorous paint depth analysis, allowing us to verify the originality of the paintwork and body panels. Finally, a service and maintenance inspection is conducted to determine whether any time or mileage-sensitive servicing, maintenance, or manufacturer recall items require attention before progressing to our professional pre-sale detailing work.
This Satin Daytona Grey Audi RS3has successfully passed all pre-sale inspections, enabling us to confidently offer this example for sale today.
Prior to advertisement, up to 60-hours of meticulous detailing preparation has been completed by our highly skilled, in-house professional detailers, each with over 10 years of experience. This £1,500 worth of work is carried out free of charge and includes a deep wheels-off decontamination cleanse, pre-paint correction preparation, brake disc centre refurbishment, exhaust system polishing, steam cleaning of intricate areas, and underbody and wheel arch rejuvenation. This is followed by our paint protection film decontamination. Interior surfaces are restored with equal precision, ensuring this Satin Daytona Grey Audi RS3 is presented in the most optimal condition possible, regardless of age or mileage.
The result is a finish that often surpasses factory standards when new — because we believe a vehicle should look as exceptional as it feels to drive.
This unique, industry-leading preparation process has been fully documented through both images and video. Selected images can be found within the gallery for this advert, along with a short clip included in the walkaround video. Additional documentation of the preparation work can be supplied to prospective buyers upon request.
Automotive Addiction has grown from an unrivalled passion for perfection in vehicle preparation and performance.
Please contact us without delay for a full breakdown of the preparation carried out on this Audi RS3 MRC Stage 2 for sale
A £71,500 Build with MRC Stage 2 Performance. This 2019 Audi RS3 Sport Edition Sportback combines dyno-proven 515PS and 705Nm with a distinctive XPEL STEALTH satin finish. Its £54,885 original Audi factory price included £11,000 of options and Sport Edition equipment, complemented by £16,615 of modifications and PPF. With 46,000 miles, paint protection from new and five years within Automotive Addiction’s customer network, its appeal extends well beyond the specification.
Within Our Customer Network Since 2021. We first supplied this RS3 to one of our customers in February 2021 at just 8,820 miles, when under two years old. It has remained within our customer network ever since. We supplied it to another customer in June 2023 at 26,562 miles before purchasing it back in 2026. Our involvement in successive sales, servicing and inspections provides first-hand familiarity alongside its documented history.
MRC Performance with Supporting Hardware. MRC Tuning’s Stage 2 calibration adds 115PS over standard, supported by an APR four-inch carbon-fibre intake, Forge Motorsport turbo inlet and enlarged Forge intercooler. These upgrades address airflow and charge-air cooling, whilst a Milltek high-flow downpipe and NGK Racing spark plugs complete the supporting engine specification. MRC’s DQ500 transmission calibration revises shift response, clutch clamping pressure and torque management to complement the increased output.
Adjustable Stance, Magnetic Ride Retained. MSS Sport height-adjustable springs work with the factory Audi Magnetic Ride dampers, retaining Comfort, Auto and Dynamic suspension settings. Owners gain adjustable ride height whilst keeping Audi’s electronic damping functionality. Four-wheel geometry alignment and Matrix LED headlight recalibration accompany the suspension package. Gloss Black 19-inch Rotiform ZMO wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres complete the setup.
Daytona Grey with a Different Character. Full XPEL STEALTH satin PPF gives the Daytona Grey Pearl Effect colour an understated finish, contrasting with the gloss black wheels and exterior detailing. Professionally installed from new, the £6,000 film package changes the appearance without repainting the car, preserving the original colour beneath whilst providing protection against stone chips, road debris and everyday wear. Maxton Design rear styling complements the Sportback’s proportions.
The Options You Appreciate Every Day. Additional factory options include Audi Magnetic Ride, Matrix LED headlights and the Comfort and Sound Package, bringing Bang & Olufsen surround sound, Advanced Key and a reversing camera. Sport Edition equipment includes heated RS Super Sport Seats in diamond-quilted Black Fine Nappa Leather, carbon-fibre inlays, a panoramic glass sunroof and wireless charging. Smartphone integration and Audi Virtual Cockpit complete a cabin suited to daily driving and longer journeys.
Documented Major Maintenance. DH Automotive’s July 2025 major service covered the engine, S tronic gearbox, Haldex, front bevel transfer box, rear differential oil and brake fluid. A genuine OEM front bevel transfer box replacement followed in September 2025, within a £2,750 visit including servicing and alignment. Genuine Audi water pump and auxiliary belt replacement formed part of a £1,160 maintenance visit in July 2024. The scheduled November 2026 engine, filter, sunroof and NGK Racing spark-plug service will be completed before handover.
Verified in Detail. Prepared Without Compromise. Audi-grade dealer diagnostics verify the genuine mileage, whilst paint-depth assessment supports verification of the original factory paintwork beneath the XPEL STEALTH film. The fitted modifications are individually inspected against the advertised specification, checking their installation, component integrity and condition. These checks form part of Automotive Addiction’s comprehensive 100-Hour Pre-Sale Preparation Process, incorporating a 260-point mechanical inspection and road test, a 150-point visual inspection and detailed history checks—giving the next owner a clear understanding of the car they are buying.
The in-house professional detailing is complete, including thorough decontamination of the satin XPEL film using methods appropriate to its finish. Wheels-off cleaning extends to the inner barrels, brakes, arches and suspension, with individual attention to the engine bay, exhaust and intricate exterior areas. Inside, the Fine Nappa Leather, Alcantara, carbon-fibre inlays and cabin details are carefully cleaned and treated. Any outstanding servicing and final inspection work will be completed before handover.
