Exclusive colours

Post by smudge » Thu Oct 02, 2014 3:13 pm

I could be wrong, but to my knowledge only one owner here (Moschops) has a car that they spec'd from new with Exclusive Paint. I'm just finalising details on my car & the paint is one thing I am keen to get right to make it a little bit special. If you don't choose one of the colours they have on the configurator, does it add much time to the order? And if so, does anyone have any ideas on how much time?

Cheers

Al.

But the interior....that ipad thing is plain <beep>. AMG is TT 4 now

Gave up on the Macan?

Didn't think the A was much cop, interior is, as it is on most Mercs, pretty pony.

It's a nice car but it looks a bit too tame for me. The old one looked muscular and angry. The old one bothered me that the front arches look like they have been beefed up and it looked like the didn't really bother with the rears arches, but this one is even worse; those rear arches are non existant and look like a standard c class.

I was really hoping they'd bring 4wd to c63, but it's not coming to RHD market and that gearbox they use is no DSG
Can't say I overly like the styling of the new one either
Had one for a few days recently and my mrs and kids called it the grandad mobile as it looked so boring.. I really wanted to like it too
If you can deal with a saloon instead of an estate, new m3/4 is the one

[album][/album]Fwiw on exclusive colours, dealers will be very reluctant to commit to a date as its pretty
variable at the factory
I didn't go for exclusive sports classic grey as I didn't want the extra wait, but as it turned out, ceramics added an extra 3 months anyway, and by thd time I found out, it was too late to change the colour

I pad thing aside that little a45 would leave the rs4 on a B road blast, I was impressed its a wicked little motor for the wife,couldn't be bothered with the wait for the Macan,looks like a boring cayenne that every mother drives round my way

Smudge, when I looked at exclusive paint the build went from week 15 to week 36. Stuck with the standard paint and build week 15 was duly met.
