    Discounts?

    have used carfile twice previously and very good experiences assume DTD will be much the same, yes you could end up having a long trek but i think they mainly cover midland/est midlands. They tend to put you through to the fleet section so it might be you could end up getting a longer wait for...

    Audi insurance and free GAP cover

    Black Edition

    i've also been patiently awaiting the black edition, but i think the styling pack is a bit of a red herring,maybe the BE trim will be out later this year with the privacy glass, styling pack, stereo upgrade (maybe!) and black matt rotors (currently available everywhere but UK), in theory the BE...

    Black Styling Pack = Black Edition?

    my Mrs A3 8P has the phantom black , always looks dirty but stunning when freshly washed, and my Mk6 GTI is pearl black , same again so will be looking at a new colour, white or grey maybe... but you need the black matt rotors (on every configurator apart form UK) to finish it off!
