Would it not be considered a slight error of judgement buying a car that you don’t like the wheels you spent nearly a grand on and don’t like the monobrow?
The A3 is quite a nice package.

It is but doesn't have anything (yet) in the range between the 35TFSI and the S3 (unless you like to plug your vehicle in).

Surely it can be switched off? It’s not essential or mandatory by law

There’s got to be a way of switching it off in the light settings menu. I saw a mk8 gtd at night and the light bar wasn’t on.

Not really, i didnt buy the car.

On that basis, could the same question be asked to anyone that changes anything on their car?
Surely if they didnt like how it was in the first place, why did they buy the car?

Is there a way to turn the strip light off that goes across the front?
I've looked through settings on "Vehicle" but cant see anything obvious....

yeh, no option there unfortunately  :sad:

Not a massive issue admittedly but it would've been nice that's all, no drama.

I bet its not too hard to unplug if its that troublesome.  Probably wouldn't cause a bulb warning on the dash but easy to fix if it did.
