Anyone getting a good deal...?

Post by doodlebug » Sun Feb 09, 2014 3:37 pm

Cock!

I hope they replace Estoril with another blue. Must be a problem colour as you said before.

I've asked Audi UK what the cunning pan is. I can't believe they'd drop three colours and not replace them.

Good luck with the purchase doodle!

I'm close to running mine in now and it's been pretty awesome and in most ways better than I could have expected. Having now used the HUD a lot I'm glad I went with it. The actual display itself is as good as the BMW version, the unit itself is fine really although the ONLY creaky rattle noise I get anywhere in the car over bumps comes from that area when the car is cold... so your "Heath Robinson" comment wasn't entirely unjustified!

I would recommend the reversible rear boot mat, it's a cheap option. The panoramic sunroof is a very nice feature and personally I wouldn't go with the carbon door mirrors plus it looks like you can purchase them later if you change your mind.

Removing ibis, Suzuka and estoril doesn't leave many standard colours. I wonder I'll they replace them ?

I'm surprised at the Estoril blue disappearing - as that has been the main colour for the the marketing on the website etc... also a little disappointed as that was my first choice - same as you Doodle.

Mugello is close, but doesn't pop as much in the sun light as its not a crystal effect finish to my knowledge.

Mugello is pearl. I'd really not want to have to go exclusive. My last exclusive paint experience was not a good one.

Plan B would probably be Misano if there's no new additions.

Misano with black pack looks brilliant. This would be my first choice.

Agreed. I still have reservations about red though.

Cost of black pack is a downside.

Drove past one the other day in red and black and I literally stopped my car in the road to have a good look.

Misano increasingly likely....those standard colours are going and no replacements due.

Bit of a pisser to be honest.

There's an exclusive Daytona matte grey one on the forecourt of Harwoods Audi at Five Oaks. Looks nice.

I wonder if it's waiting for the new registration and will then become their demo?
