Hi guys,

Long story short, I ordered a new B8 S-Line Special Edition back in September 2010. It was meant to be delivered by December but it got delayed for various reasons. It's being delivered on Saturday, but it appears to have somehow become a Black Edition. The dealer didn't even notice, I only found out when I saw it on the finance agreement today. Not best pleased...

Anyway, I made a fuss and got them to call up Audi UK to find out the spec of the car. It hasn't been delivered yet so I couldn't see it for myself, but the car is meant to be Deep Sea Blue so the black styling pack will look a bit daft on the blue paint. Coupled to the fact that I don't like the new alloys, I made a bit of a fuss.

They called me back and have basically said that the car will be called a Black Edition on the documents but will actually be a Special Edition... sounds a bit dodgy but alarm bells started ringing when they said that by incredible coincidence there is some sort of delivery backlog so the car won't be there until next week. Apparently all of the black styling pack, piano black dash inserts and the wheels are all no-cost options to remove, which is effectively what will happen to my car at the factory so it'll look like an old Special Edition, but I'm not convinced as this seems like a stupid thing to do as without these it's basically a normal S-Line but for more cash...

Can anyone confirm that this is actually true? I've made myself completely paranoid that the car will be sat in the dealer all of next week having the grilles and alloys changed so that I won't notice the difference...

Thanks in advance
