Default Do you have illuminated door sill inlays?

When I bought my S3 I didn't know it came with this feature. It's actually something I really like but didn't expect to have it. I wasn't sure if all model year S3s or A3s came with this feature.

I didn't have them on my '15 - I think they only come on the FL models.

Face Lift. They come in the A3 premium plus and prestige as apart of the S line exterior package.

Forgot to mention the speakers on the doors being illuminated along the outlines. Another nice touch.

Does the RS3 come with both of these features? I believe the door sill does but not sure. Thanks.

My RS3 has both the illuminated door sills and speaker trim.

Awesome; thanks for the info. Now to bug you one more time re: interior lighting. I watched a European video that said the shift paddles and the cup holders are also illuminated .... is that true as well? Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)

The cup holders are definitely illuminated. As for shift paddles I'm not sure as I haven't driven at night yet. I know the older RS5 ones were illuminated (+ and -) but I can definitely see that being removed for cost cutting on the 3.
