Wherever you prefer to pick up this part #: 3Q0199369E

A3, S3, TT, apparently it's used on the arteon as well.

Besides saving some weight. What are the advantages exactly?

Not rusting is one

Technically stiffer but if you can tell a difference you should be driving something better than a golf

So it's $350 basically from e-acca, thank you scrlock for the part number, $600+ from ECS tuning, Ebay lists a few but shipping is $179. LKQ shows all steel crossmembers for the A3. See link.

Or are they just using a reference photo?
