Very nice!

A couple of questions :

[1] I assume you don't have SatNav - any chance you could show the area around the geat stick. I've not seem one with out Nav and it looks quite different. Be good to know what to expect with mine

[2] Is the front central lowest part of the bumper i.e. the central splitter element the same colour as the car? I thought they were meant to be silver as per page 4 of the lastest brochure

Very nice, have got a brilliant black on order myself. Like the soft focus shots, look very moody

Thanks Scotty!

You are spot on..the splitter (blade) on the front is Silver...

Heres a pic of the gear stick area - No i dont have the satnav... nor do I have the Hill hold.. TBH I had hill hold on my previous SE 1.8T (great car) but never used it anyway!

Good choice...it looks better in real life.. thanks yes I was aiming for a bit of 'mood' in the shots

Have you done anything paintwork wise, I was thinking of using something like Auto Glym Deep Shine when mine comes. Wanna keep it looking like those shots for as long as poss!!

Glad to see the silver element is there. I couldn't make it out on the other pic.

Your gear stick area's shocked me! I thought I'd be getting all the buttons around the stick but a blank where the NAV one goes.

Have they changed the spec since you ordered? I don't see how I can use the MMI for the B&O, TPMS, Phone prep etc without the dial and all the buttons.

I WANT MORE BUTTONS

hehe...I know...but it all works perfectly using the central dial on the dash where the two climate control dials are. The following pic is from my previous 1.8T and it had the same layout...all controls in the centre:

Have to admit it does look abit lonely by the gear stick when you compare with the new MMI controls!!

Yep...brushed aluminum...no plastic here!

Nice ride solarseven, enjoy.
Black has always been my favourite but after having 4 on the trot i decided to have a change.
May be regretting that decision now after seeing your shots. oh well only another 2 years, 7 months and 3 days before i can change.
