100-hour Pre-Sale Preparation Process:

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 as part of the Automotive Addiction preparation standard.

This Audi RS3 Voodoo Blue is new into stock and has entered our innovative, industry-leading preparation process, which involves up to 100-hours of labour-intensive work when completed, designed to satisfy even the most pedantic automotive enthusiast. At every stage, our exacting standards must be met before this Audi Exclusive Paint RS is released following preparation 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 DAZA 5 Cylinder RS3 has successfully passed all pre-sale inspections, enabling us to confidently offer this example for sale today, and is now progressing through the remaining stages of preparation prior to delivery.

Prior to delivery, up to 60-hours of meticulous detailing preparation will be 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 will include 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 will be followed by our signature multi-stage machine paint correction. Interior surfaces will be restored with equal precision, ensuring this Audi RS3 8V Sportback is presented in the most optimal condition possible, regardless of age or mileage.

The objective is to achieve 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 will be documented through both images and video. Imagery and video content will be added to the gallery for this advert as preparation progresses, with additional documentation available 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 further information regarding the current preparation status of this Audi Exclusive Voodoo Blue.

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:

What immediately sets this Audi RS3 8V Sportback apart is how it has been used — or more accurately, how it hasn’t. Launch control data confirms zero launches since new, an exceptional and highly unusual metric for an eight-year-old RS model. Combined with genuine mileage verified using Audi dealer-level diagnostics, this strongly indicates careful, mechanically sympathetic ownership throughout. The car remains completely standard and unmodified, exactly as supplied from factory.

Finished in Porsche Voodoo Blue, this RS3 was specified through the Audi Exclusive programme in a Porsche manufacturer colour originally offered via Porsche’s Paint to Sample range. This is a colour combination almost never seen on the RS3 platform and gives the car immediate visual distinction among knowledgeable RS buyers. Specification is equally strong, with £12,260 of factory optional extras, including the Audi Sport Package with RS Sports Exhaust, Matrix LED headlights, Comfort and Sound Pack with Bang & Olufsen audio, electric heated seats, and the Audi Exclusive paint finish.

At its core is the DAZA 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engine, widely regarded as the definitive RS3 powerplant. Featuring an aluminium engine block with revised camshafts, turbocharger, and fuel injection system, the DAZA delivers a sharper, more robust character while retaining the unmistakable five-cylinder soundtrack that defines the RS3. Paired with the 7-speed S-Tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, performance is delivered with immediacy and traction. Crucially, this example is a non-OPF car, preserving the unfiltered exhaust note that enthusiasts actively seek.

Ownership history shows one previous keeper, who retained the car from 2021, representing a long period of continuous ownership. We sourced this example from within the Audi RS owner community, where Automotive Addiction is recognised as a specialist, having supplied over 700 Audi RS models since 2015. This RS3 is currently undergoing our 100-hour Pre-Sale Preparation Process, which includes a comprehensive multi-stage mechanical inspection followed by up to 60 hours of in-house professional detailing prior to sale.
