Re: New B7 - Not happy!
Thanks for the posts guys.
I can assure you the rest of the car is exactly as I want it. If it wasn't, I wouldn't accept the car, as I'm already pointing out everything to them that I'm not happy with.
Very happy with the rest of the car. For example, you would never know anyone has ever sat in the seats (buckets) and mechanically the car is great. I have had this checked by my trusted mechanic up on the ramps and a proper test drive
Car gets collected tomorrow from me in Aberdeen and is taken to Huddersfield via flatbed. They're giving me an A4 of some kind in the mean time.
Will update this to give an idea of the level of service I receive. Can only be better than Aberdeen Audi surely

That will be on the list when it goes in for an MOT.
Just to clarify this is the piece of black trim that sits proud of the windscreen and there is one either side of the windscreen and they start at the bonnet and stop at the roof?
