I had a similar issue when I retro fitted some leather seats into my E90. You’ve got the right idea, follow the wires and depin as best as you can. I ended up having a temperamental issue with the electric reclining after even though the wires matched up in the end. Couldn’t put my finger on it. One minute it works one minute it didn’t. Best of luck with yours
Lowkey thought it was gonna be some crazy mods since you went to MRC 😂😂 But the OEM+ mods are always a good touch! 👏 The fitment and the interior is 🔥now! Hopefully you get those issues fixed! 🙌
Had a '21 Kyalami Green 8Y with matching interior in the US... moved to the UK unexpectedly in 2022 as I took a job position in my company that I was offered... so I bought a UK spec Kyalami Green RSQ3 Sportback. Audi UK broke my heart when they told me Kyalami matching interior wasn't an option for the RSQ3 which led me to choose red. Even though the exterior/interior of my car is Christmas colors I still prefer it rather than plain black leather. I'm moving back home to the US in 2025 and now I have to sell this RSQ3 soon. Hoping to score an allocation for the 8.5Y RS3 in Kyalami green again. I'm so obsessed with this color that I'm gonna keep buying RS cars with it until Audi drops the color altogether.
Did it on mine as well, but got genuine RS3 8Y seats, front and rear in red stitch with accents, plus seat belts, side panels, flat bottom wheel in red stitch, vents, the lot. No idea why Audi UK thought we wouldn't option the RS interior pack. Sourced the entire pack from Poland. Makes a massive difference to the interior.
The long awaited video,is looking really clean and sitting perfect aswell can't wait for the big performance mods, lots of support from South Africa brother🙌🤝👌💪
Thinking about the rear seats, you could get the side panels of the headrests trimmed in the red alcantara which would be a cost effective way of tying the rear in 👍👍
your car looks so good, nice job. Personally, i liked the interior before it looked discrete, but eh every person has a different opinion. Great car and great video !
Great video. I can't wait to get my own RS3. FYI: You only need to click the torque wrench once because the wrench is set to the same torque. You are just putting excess wear on the wrench.
Love that you did that because I got the green design package when I ordered it but they discontinued it so I’m missing some pieces that should be green and see that it isn’t totally crazy to do it I’d mostly want to get the steering wheel done in green!
The hill assist/acc fault was maybe caused by taking the steering wheel off? Maybe try calibrating the steering angle sensor with vcds, not the usual driving calibration
Brilliant video. Love the red accents. Lowered and spacers work and look great. Hope you get the issues sorted soon and then you can do a full send again.🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍
Loving the upgrades, crazy that you can get the vents etc from TPS but Audi UK don’t offer them, belts & the door cards will definitely finish it off 👍🏻
Nice tune bro 👌🏽. Can you share the part numbers of the used vents, mats, steering wheel and seats? And can you also make a follow up video, where you show how you ended up installing the seats, wiring and error codes etc. Cheers 💪🏽
I have the 15mm Bimecs on the rear and the 12 on the front. Will be taking it to Awesome in July for the KW adjustable springs so will be interesting to see how it looks.
In Australia our RS3 and possibly all our RS models come fully loaded, we don’t have the option of having a very base model RS like people do overseas so with mine the only options were the RS design pack, carbon pack, pan roof and ceramic brakes other than that everything else that is an option for others around the world is standard
@@sis6157 I was one of the first to receive one, I placed my order 6 months before they were uncovered so I took a gamble and my order went in the moment Australia was able to place orders so all up I waited about 18 months lol
Cars looking good Hamza! Coming from down under I do sympathise. Our cars are available fully loaded. Just take 2 years plus to arrive . I took the 15mm option, suits Kyalami ! Looking forward to your DP choice and OPF work around....... Cheers!
Looks awesome, I think Rs models should come as standard with these colours ( green, red, blue ) silver is like an A3 looks ...boring Anyway awesome job, wish to do that with my TT, love the red stitching
Really want to see how you figure out the plugs on the seats, always a headache trying to do things OEM and not have the dash light up like a Christmas tree
Quick question: how does mounting wheel spacers of different sizes (12mm fronts and 15mm rears) impact the TC, 4WD and overall the drive train of the car? Intuitively I would say that when mounting spacers of different sizes, there has to be a slip somewhere in the system that shall accommodate the extra 3mm difference between spacers while taking curves. Also, how does the TC handle it and what impact does the upgrade have on it? I'm looking forward to doing the same on my Formentor VZ5 (same car basically, different chassis) and was trying to be 100% sure such a setup wouldn't result in premature wear or damage in time. Thanks in advance for your answer.
The red goes well with the black paint work. Even with other colours probably look nice to. Wonder what they would look with the red bits being some sort of blue. Ur a sick clever guy. Should been an engineer bro mashallah. Watch most your video's. Love bro. Keep up the good work my guy. U should work for audi designing interiors for there cars and giving them some new ideas for the actuall cars 😂😂. 😊
Hi, regarding the steering wheel trim in silver, a lot of these type of things are piano black underneath , i use mr muscle oven cleaner and it strips the silver right off leaving a perfect piano black underneath so no spraying after. i do this with headlights etc. this stuff is nasty, use outside and down wind 🤢
Yoooo my brother what is going on. When I come across your channel you were consistent on your builds 🛠️ since you got this new car 🚗 you have forgotten about your old work. I bet that 60% of your subscribers are feeling the same. Being brutally honest with you. I was looking forward for your videos. But now my OCD is having a field Day. I don't know how you can do it start one Project and jump on to another 😒 #ConsistencyIsKey #StayTrueToYourRoots #OCDproblems lol
Haven't read all the posts, but have you tried putting the old drivers seat back in and connect all the plugs to see if the dash lights go out? Just a thought.
What about the cons of running spacers? I’ve been on the fence about them for so long. Want them on my Leon Cupra, but worried about the extra wear n stress etc. 👀
i really don't get why anyone would lower their car but i like the spacers bringing the wheels out more, not sure how that would affect the handling though? aren't you just messing with the engineering that was perfected for handling? especially the lowering, i'd raise it if anything, rally style. its quattro!
I specifically not specced the design packages on my rs3 (Germany). It just felt like too much for me. Wanted the color to be determined by the lighting not by the stitching. Would’ve gone for exclusive design tho but they don’t offer it anymore for rs3 :(
Personally i didnt spec the RS pack because ive had Alcantara on my others AMG's and I HATE it. HUGE pain to clean. I dont even wanna know the price on the wheel and the seats comparted to just getting one with it built that way. I got red stitching and that's more than enough. But the drop and spacers, i agree!

Audi UK gotta take notes! You single handedly upped the interior! RS pack lifts it so much! 😍
Just sitting down for dinner and see this in subscriptions. Nice timing hamza, been looking forward to the next rs3 video 👊
haha was going to comment the same thing
Haha enjoy mate and have a good weekend 👌🏼
Was about to tuck into your mum and I seen Hamza upload!

One of the pins was probably a bit loose. Go over them again. Check everything is right bro.
Hamza always knows how to make his cars more stylish without making them look tacky 👌

All in good time 🤣👌🏼
Hamza, thank you brother for the video. Very interesting to watch. Thumbs up! Never clicked so fast on a video. Cheers from Bulgaria.
Glad you enjoyed it brother! Thank you.
Absolute gem, can’t wait for the rest of the series. Looks mint mate!
So much better. A bit of character inside now. 👍
The seats add so much much character to the interior😮💨🔥
This is looking sick now! Tbh, I’d rather ditch the lane assist and have the flat bottom.. gives you proper R8/RS vibes. Not A1 but cars sick bro
Yeah each to their own bro! I do a lot of motorway driving so it’s a nice feature. It almost self drives to an extent.
Only the smart RS3 owners keep the round wheel and all the functions - like me 😊
@@TechInTheCar I dunno, I prefer the flat bottom. It’s a performance car, each to their own .
@@TRHamzaCouldn’t you try get someone who specialises in wiring and stuff to transfer the sensors over some how?
Flat bottom does look cool but driving wise the round steering wheel is so much better

Congrats on the car hamza shes a keeper love the RS touched you done to her really makes the difference
Great transformation. Contrast stitching and super sport seats were what made the 8V so good inside
Amazing mods, them seats make a huge difference 👌🏾
Been really looking forward to watching your next 8y video, loved it! Already very excited to see whats next!
Dude at 7:10, looks really good. What a clean OEM+ look
The long awaited video,is looking really clean and sitting perfect aswell can't wait for the big performance mods, lots of support from South Africa brother🙌🤝👌💪
Thank you brother!
Mateeeee...... that is such a mental whip! the dream right there.
Love the car and your commentary Hamza. Looking forward to more videos.
@trhamza car looks fantastic with the new bits and suspension mods.
Thinking about the rear seats, you could get the side panels of the headrests trimmed in the red alcantara which would be a cost effective way of tying the rear in 👍👍

Great video.
I can't wait to get my own RS3.

Great interior transformation, Audi should employ you as a design consultant!
Audi designed it, not him.
Awesome Hamza 😎 would rather watch these kinds of builds/modifications instead of mad body kits and million horsepower builds like other TH-camrs!
Love that you did that because I got the green design package when I ordered it but they discontinued it so I’m missing some pieces that should be green and see that it isn’t totally crazy to do it I’d mostly want to get the steering wheel done in green!
Love the way you clean EVERYTHING!! 🫡👌👌
This did SO much! Looks dope.
The best TH-camr right now. Best content. Best whips. Mods. Sick. Couldn’t get any better. 💯💯💯
Looks sick now, OEM + Finish Perfect 😎
Wow you pick the best cars to have and the best bits to fit well done mate 😊😊
Mate you have made a mint car even better. Well done 👍🏻👍🏻. Great work as always
The hill assist/acc fault was maybe caused by taking the steering wheel off? Maybe try calibrating the steering angle sensor with vcds, not the usual driving calibration
Needs Adas static calibration
Love the video bro but when’s the M5 coming back on the channel😅…respect bro love your content👊🏼💙
Looks so much better. Should’ve come from the factory like that!
Brilliant video. Love the red accents. Lowered and spacers work and look great. Hope you get the issues sorted soon and then you can do a full send again.🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍
wow what a difference, great job hamz
Your Audi is gorgeous ! Perfect car
This makes the car look special and refreshes the otherwise bland interior.
Hamza, salaams from Australia my bro, been a fan for ages now❤
Always love watching your videos mate, you make it look so easy 😄 keep up the good content bro!
The seats have really lifted the cabin!!
What about a red starter button?
Seats look so much better!
Looks so much better with tasteful mods 😎
Part number for the floor mats please 🙏
Awesome car love the mods makes the difference with RS pack. I would do the rear seats aswel it'll complete the interior look 👍
Brilliant video as ever! Looks how it should now
Looks great! I usually do 12mm back 10 front.
All for the OEM+ fitment👌🏻
Super upgrade this has transformed the car do much....
Loving the upgrades, crazy that you can get the vents etc from TPS but Audi UK don’t offer them, belts & the door cards will definitely finish it off 👍🏻
Nice tune bro 👌🏽. Can you share the part numbers of the used vents, mats, steering wheel and seats? And can you also make a follow up video, where you show how you ended up installing the seats, wiring and error codes etc. Cheers 💪🏽
Nice upgrade sir. Can’t wait to get my rs3 too.
Daughter and i watching with my morning coffee downunder!!!
I have a b9 S5 and I specifically spec'd a round steering wheel...I love em as well
Huge difference ! looks like a full fat RS now !!
Satisfied. The front wheels would look nice with 15mm spacers.
looking great with the new interior bro just need to alcantara the steering airbag
This thing looks hard as nails now! 100% the best choice to add all this red, too basic before for what model this is!
Love those seats, def a good upgrade 👍 great video man! gained a new Sub!!!
I have the 15mm Bimecs on the rear and the 12 on the front. Will be taking it to Awesome in July for the KW adjustable springs so will be interesting to see how it looks.
Should look great 👍🏼

I see a tr hamza vid and I get happy and click instantly!
That looks sick , so much better but yes shame the steering wheel isn’t a flat bottom
I do like the red accents just not the red patches on the side of the seats. Nice job
Mashallah big spec rs that is! Let’s see the m5 on the channel again too, been a while

100%agree... Bouncing around unfinished projects is so frustrating!!
Seeing the red seat from the back seat windows puts into perspective how tall Hamza is 😂
Haven't read all the posts, but have you tried putting the old drivers seat back in and connect all the plugs to see if the dash lights go out? Just a thought.
I am really curious on what updates you will be doing. I am in the same boat, cant decide between Exhaust or removing OPF. Got the RS Sport exhaust.
What about the cons of running spacers? I’ve been on the fence about them for so long. Want them on my Leon Cupra, but worried about the extra wear n stress etc. 👀
Back breaks look tiny hamza , would look loads better with some bigger discs , great content as always
Interior way way better now, just need seatbelts and rear benches 👌
Maybe use a red fabric pen or some sort of marker to go along the stitching and make it red.
Looks good don’t know why they don’t have that option when g80s have all sorts of colour seats
Where did you get the steering wheel trying to track down the flat bottom green stripe design pack wheel but I can’t find it anywhere
i really don't get why anyone would lower their car but i like the spacers bringing the wheels out more, not sure how that would affect the handling though? aren't you just messing with the engineering that was perfected for handling? especially the lowering, i'd raise it if anything, rally style. its quattro!
That e60 and Caddy…..More content please
All I can say is that's one beautiful interior....
I specifically not specced the design packages on my rs3 (Germany). It just felt like too much for me. Wanted the color to be determined by the lighting not by the stitching. Would’ve gone for exclusive design tho but they don’t offer it anymore for rs3 :(
Mad that Audi don’t provide this but I had it on my 2018 Octavia vRS
⭕️ Hi Hamza, in your opinion which is more reliable DAZA or CZGB ?
Thanks
I’d always do even spacers on both axles, I feel like uneven ones are messing with the alignment
The 15 at the back looks nice
Great content, but where are the R32 restoration vids at?
Thanks, soon. Only gonna start stripping the R32 after the R36 is complete. Which will be returning over the next few videos.
U should try painting the stitching with a marker, a lot of people do it.
Personally i didnt spec the RS pack because ive had Alcantara on my others AMG's and I HATE it. HUGE pain to clean. I dont even wanna know the price on the wheel and the seats comparted to just getting one with it built that way. I got red stitching and that's more than enough. But the drop and spacers, i agree!
Could you swap the models that are under the seats, so put the controller from the 8y drivers seat onto the RSQ3 seat
