Well after 9 months it finally arrived and I must say it was worth the wait! Allegedly it was the seat material that caused the delay.
Won’t bore you with the details but I specced the colour and DSG box and so glad I did. The box is a smooth and effortless drive with enough power to keep me interested. Haven’t fully tested the electronic diff but it certainly inspires confidence around the B roads. It’s a complete different drive style than driving a manual but I’d be happy to keep that experience for a track car (one day).
I requested that they slicked the tyres but didn’t wash it before pick up so I could take it to my friend Dave @Dee this morning to give the paint a bit of protection.
Firstly, we discovered a hell of a lot of fall out on the bumper...
Aside from that the paint was pretty flawless so we decided not to polish and just add protection. First up was a hybrid coating then a coat of some ceramic spray. The end result was great beading and an understated shine.
And the finished product..
I love the black details like the exhaust exits and VRS badge.
The wheels have really grown on me
With it being a lease I won’t be changing anything with the exception of adding some mud flaps and rubber mats for the winter.
Cheers
