Overview
About the vehicle
The 2018 Audi RS3 Sportback packages a 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder, quattro all-wheel drive and widened RS bodywork into a compact five-door hatch. Its short wheelbase, pronounced arches and twin oval outlets make changes to wheel diameter, stance and exhaust finish easy to read.

Styling Guide
Expert advice on how to approach modifying the Audi RS3 Sportback. Learn how different choices affect the visual balance of this specific chassis.
Wheels & Fitment
The 8V RS3's compact body and pronounced arches suit open split-spokes, rotor-style wheels and fine motorsport designs. Silver keeps the factory RS character, graphite sharpens the body details, and bronze adds a warmer tuner contrast.
Suspension & Stance
A moderate drop closes the hatchback's visible arch gap and emphasizes its short, wide footprint. Keep camber measured so the quattro stance stays planted and the tyre shoulders remain framed by the widened arches.
Paint & Finish
Nardo-style grey emphasizes the black grilles and bright trim, while metallic blue, red and silver reveal the RS3's shoulder line and compact flares. Gloss and metallic finishes carry the Sportback's short reflections especially clearly.
