Got the commission number this morning so now I can call Audi UK every 5 mins to check on the status of my order :thumb:

Wanted to change the colour to Nardo Grey but the extra 8-10 weeks put me right off

There was a Nardo sat in Coulsden Audi the week before Xmas when I was there. Worth a call to see if it's still there, if you want Nardo without the wait...

Did it have the buckets? Ahh. For me it needs to have the black styling to set off the colour more.

Thanks for the info though

It defo had the black package (don't let the reflection in my pic fool you), pan roof, B&O etc. It was very highly specced (££67-68k from what I remember) but I can't recall if it had buckets or not.

Those are SuperSports seats - you can see the reflection in the driver's door mirror.

I saw that car on Friday - still there & 100% no buckets. IMO the sales guy I spoke to was an utter tool.... But what do you expect. :roll:

Looked nice, but needs more of a de-crome & buckets too imo.

It's all torque talk.

The most they were willing to give me off that car was 9%, which wasn't enough. To be honest I'm not surprised it's still there as they simply didn't seem interested in selling cars. Huge showroom, with young kids doing the selling always having to refer to people for the simplest of requests.

I'm not sure I inderstand your comment re it needing more de-chroming. Apart from the rings there isn't any chrome on it?!?

I think black mirrors would prob give it a more menacing look. Still love the colour though.

V spokes don't do it any favours,black rotors would look better IMO
But I would say that :bigblink:

I think you really have to see it in the metal to make a judgment, the pics really don't do the combo justice. I went for the titanium rotors with my Misano as I think they suit the colour better than the V's, especially with the black package, but I think the V spokes work well with the Nardo, certainly under the showroom lights.

My only gripe with that car is Audi charging £2600 for Nardo, when it's free on many other models.

V spokes FTW!

Rotors ten a penny.
