Got a couple of questions guys if you don't mind?
1. Does anyone know the match or closest paint match to the grill surround on the BE? Inside trim is referred to as piano, but the grill surround looks the same. If you were to colour match, would it be Brilliant or Phantom Black? Reason is I have spare mirror housings and would like to paint them black to match.
Answers/help greatly appreciated.

I'd say flat black. On my Phantom Black, I can clearly tell the difference not just because of the flakes, but somewhat the depth of the colour. The trim is deeper than Phantom Black. Hope that helps.
Well got a up date on my order from my dealer today. Still no build date said "ORDER NOT YET SCHEDULED INTO A WEEK" Only different on the system is change from MY10 to MY11.
Oh no! dont worry you can get another on and the wheel will easily be fixed too.
Ive booked it in with Audi for a Re-furb. Cost from £55-£70.
£47.00 icluding VAT from Wakefield Audi
Nice bit of leverage there ST!
Diamond when do you order yours?
I ordered mine on the 19/4/10 and im told end sept as a latest. even have a date it will be on the boat!
You noticed that on the configurator it is showing as a front wheel drive and has been for a few days now.....still updating me thinks!!
S3 that is...
Does anyone know if the headling in the s3 is black as standard or has to be specified???
Hmm can't imagine they would really but it back in the queue for the sake of that. Mines due on the boat on the 5th Sept and i would assume that they dont send the ship more than once a month so good chance yours will be on it too.
Been considering my argument for not getting the wheels i ordered (even though i may be quite happy with) to see if there is any compensation for my discomfort. Will be some interesting threads of what the dealers are prepared to offer i think... Naughty but if you dont ask!
Hi guys
I have had a 1.8t black edition on order since the 15th of march and the dealer called today to confirm it would be a my11 BUT delivery mid september. I think I will be cancelling my order no way I am waiting a further 3 1/2 to 4 months for it.
That is along time to wait, have you tried another dealer, worth a call to see if they can get you an earlier slot, seems others have managed it.
OK, I have another update for you all and yet another excuse. Does this match up to anyone else?;
"Hi Rich,
I have just spoken to the Audi Sales Office who have advised that we should know more with regards to build weeks either late this week/early next week.
Apparently there have been problems with the 170 Black Editions (across the UK) where they have been set up incorrectly on the system, and the factory are not able to build them. They have advised that rectifiying this is a manual operation, and that they hope to fix it a.s.a.p."
This is getting silly with the excuses that have been thrown my way since February. If I was ordering it personally they could forget it, but it's a company car and the car list has taken a big hit since I ordered and there is no other car I'd like nearly as much as this. Anyone else had a MY11 2.0TDI 170 order placed and confirmed yet?
Any reason you cant select a black edition or a 170 diesel in the configurator?????
