Re: Test Drive
That Nardo test car cannot be the £72k carbon version - it has silver radiator and window frames? As discussed elsewhere, the early dealer cars seem to be random spec

Re: Test Drive
It’s is a CE, that bit is correct. The Carbon edition comes with the “Carbon Matt aluminium pack” as standard. That pack consists of Carbon front splitter/spoiler and Matt aluminium grill surround and trim all round.

I noted that so I began my post "thanks for the review" and I think I have got him back onside now.

Your right about the spec sheet, car definitely has disc brakes so why believe the rest of it.

Re: Test Drive
My B8 goes in Monday to have one of the dampers replaced (started leaking and got DRC knock, same damper that was replaced 35k miles ago), and I have use of a B9 for a couple of days, so looking forward to seeing what it's like before I get my order in

Re: Test Drive
That's ideal if they let you go out unaccompanied and keep it overnight

Re: Test Drive
Re the OP, nardo and silver has always looked nasty. Nardo and black pack quite the opposite imho.
