Oettinger A3 Pics

[George@Fourtitude]

Here are the first official photos from Oettinger of their new A3 body kit. Note the new ‘OE’ decal on the side window of the car. With exterior design heavily inspired by the look of the new RS 4, the OEM theme is both obvious and quite handsome.

Oettinger’s A3 body kit created waves when the first digitally created images were released a year ago. Now the final product has been shown and the result is very close to those original pictures.

Oettinger promises further details and photos will follow shortly on the kit.

if i ever get a kit this is my first choice undoubtedly

[Ingolstadter]

Looks sick! Not too over the top, kind of accentuates exsisting faetures of the cars design. The black grill is uber sharp!

[xgarage]

super...super...super hot!

Thi is waht A3 should look like from the factory.

[mixmaster-mo]

hmm I think the front would look better without fogs....

HEY!! I have no fogs!!

joy

[VWNUBEE]

Very Very NICE! Makes my desire to eventually upgrade, from my MKV Jetta to an A3, even stronger.

That's a really sweet kit. Definetly makes the A3 look a lot more muscular.

[3dr A3 3.2]

Hmmm?

- Adds weight.
- And a ton of earo drag.
- Lessens ground clearance
- Has that cross-tube to clear the rear battery on Quattro models.
- Probably costs as much as a top-of the line BBK or sound system.

But it sure looks SICK!

so that's why this thing is hanging so low . . . . .

i like everything but the sideskirts. They look like a complete afterthought to the kit. Otherwise, it all looks well blended.

Yup. And it's a shame too, as that rear valence is very, very nice. Fairly OEM-like as well, with the matte insert.

Not crazy about the sideskirts either, and the front is very "fangy".

I agree. The rear is the best part of the kit. Too bad those wheels are extremely heavy . . . . I've always liked em.

[andstillgoin]

Wonder if it'll look less fangy on darker colors...

[carygott]

is it a 3.2?

[navybean]

what a beautiful kit

[ProjectA3]

i do like it a lot and love the rear valance, but you'd have to buy a whole seperate muffler to fit the apron.

awesome kit though.

yea... i couldnt help staring at the pic of the backside... i guess, im more of an ass man..

[navybean]

i wanted to ask. will oettinger make a kit for the new gti?

[uv23]

This kit destroys everything else on the market, easily. Very very nice, though I'd personally opt for the de-gilled front bumper. The quad exhaust is lovely.

[George@Fourtitude]

Yeah, I know it would be faux, and expensive, and not easy to do. But, being a big fan of the RS 4 and the OE+ design philosophy, bear with me for a second as I mentally build my own car that I don't own.

I'd do a hybrid kit. Front and rear fascia would be Oettinger, skirts would be Oettinger or Audi Accessories, flares would be Nothelle, but blended so no seams visible and a smoother widebody as the RS 4 is.

Compliment it with RS 4 exterior mirrors, RS 4 Recaro seats, a flat bottom Euro RS 4 steering wheel, rear roll up windows and some Hartmann forged RS 4 replica wheels in 19s (pushed to the fender lip with spacers), and you'd have a pretty convincing RS 3 replica. Now under the hood.... I have no idea. Maybe a supercharged 3.2 if DSG could take it or a 3.6 FSI out of a Q7 once they're on the market and someone cracks one up.

Pics for reference....

Yep.

Count me in, I expect to have pricing at the end of this month. Time to open up the wallet.

[Jens Luarca]

As always with Oettinger... The best body kits of the world for VW / Audi cars !

Perfect !

Rear apron will come in a dual and single tip version...so you can use your stock muffler as well.

[Peta]

yeah definately real nice..would be one of my first choices

i rarely say this about oett stuff, but i'm not really feeling it.

anyone know anything about the rumour that apr bought oett?

[ashlynx]

It is the end of month.
Is there any price information on oettinger body kit?

[swiftA4]

CEC says they are expecting the kit in March, and the prices about a month before that...

[spoolin215]

I love the rear and sides, not crazy about the front bumper though.

[limesparks]

the nothelle kit is very 'elegant'. The pics i have seen show the rear spoiler to be somewhat saab-like. I like it, but its not as sport-derived as some of the other kits.

*sparx*

[DrivingBliss]

I really love this kit, and I don't think the side skirts detract from the overall look. If you look at the pictures, you can see that it extends lines created on the side of the front lip just under the vents.

This would be my first choice for a kit if I was in the market for one. I can't wait to see the prices CEC is going to put this at.

The nothelle kit isn't bad, but I'd rather not get a kit that involves putting spacers on the rims so that they sit flush to the fender flares.

[CLN EURO]

i would like the kit without the gills though

[DemianSP]

That saturday i will drive with a few members of A3-quattro to Oettinger in Frankfurt. So we take a lot of pics and i will be make a video of the Sportback with the oettinger bodykit.
If i had that all, i post it here
