Finally did it!
Had an email and flyer in the week regarding a "Platinum" event at my dealer (Tonbridge - now Tunbridge Wells - Inchcape) and as we're idly looking at replacing our lovely 8P S3, thought we'd go have a look.
Popped in today with my spec list in hand as follows:
S3 Sportback - S-Tronic.
Sepang Blue
Black Inlays
Bang & Olufsen sound system
Black roof rails
BSP
Comfort Pack
Folding mirrors
Super Sport seats
Interior Lighting Pack
LED headlights
Privacy Glass
Tech Pack
Tornado Caliper option
Whilst the salesman was working out some figures, the sales director told him about a "secret car"! We'd already looked on the available stock list for anything suitable, I was happy to consider various combinations of options and also look at Daytona/Glacier, but there wasn't anything showing. He walked us outside, showed me another car which fleet sales had ordered in error - and that was it!
Outside was a Glacier white Sportback, S-Tronic, with the following spec:
Bang & Olufsen
Black Styling Pack
Tornado Brake Calipers
Interior Light Pack
Privacy Glass
Super Sport Seats
Audi Side Assist
Cruise Control
Folding Door Mirrors
Rear Parking Sensors
SD SatNav
Light and Rain Sensor Pack
And the Billy bonus of a Pano Roof!
Essentially the spec I wanted, minus a couple of non-essentials, but with the roof which I'd never really considered. As it was a surplus car - apparently - we got a very sweet deal and will be picking up in a week! I've asked if I can add carbon wing mirrors but as it has Side Assist I might be out of luck...?
Will be looking at a REVO Stage 1 map and CAI once it's run in and I'm happy - nothing else planned. Happy with the day's work though!
