Hey the V Spokes look decent on the Sportback lol standard 19's look better on the Saloon though I'd say.
Navarra pics, no filters, varying light, standard 19's which I preferred over the alternatives when ordering

I shouldn't read these post, I'm wondering if I am making the right alloy selection now. I was original 19's but changed my mind to v spoke a few weeks back.. time will tell, ordering this Saturday !!!!!! Finally the wait can start......
I got the 19's V Spoke on a glacier white saloon. Personally thought that was the best wheel for that colour but you've gotta be happy with what you pick at the end of the day! You'll be driving it daily
Here is my Navarra, BE for you all.

That's true mate, I will be sticking with v Spoke as they are better looking than they other BE option wheels tbf. Personal preference I know, there should be more wheel options imo.
OK, so Navarra looks GREAT with the Black Styling. Many people, including my dealer, were telling me it wouldn't, now I'm annoyed

My dealer tells me to avoid certain colours till I change my order to them then they are great! I'm currently ordering Navarra with a nagging feeling of should I go for for either Dayton or Nano Grey.....or red or yellow!!!!

See I'm not a huge fan of all the chrome but I do think Navarra looks better with it.

It's to late to worry now mate, from what I've seen Navarra BE looks top notch. I'm going nano on Saturday, because I can't keep changing my mind. Did you get a June build date ??
I've got a July 17th build date so I reckon I can change a few times lol
Nano looks nice as well so does the silver you originally chose

Do you no if there any build dates in June my dealer seems to think mine will be built in June once ordered. Can't wait to get the ball rolling now.
Not sure, both dealers I spoke with quoted a September delivery date and a July build date. You may get lucky and be able to alter an existing order.
Haha... so true.. go Yellow, you wont regret it, or then you might...
Need to see more pics of Navarra BE. Best colour for me with Chrome is Daytona by a long way.. If Chrome then must have matched up wheels. I think the titanium / dark ones ruin the look, but its all subjective I know..

Absolutely stunning! My S3 is on order in navarra blue. My A3 is in scuba blue, and it looks great. The CGI on audi website does navarra no favours at all! Wasn't sure whether to stick with dark blue due to the insane amount of time I have spent maintaining that cars image, endless hours cleaning polishing and waxing all year, all for the slightest of little hedge scratches to stick out a day later. But just can't resist that finish of a deep blue when looked after, hesitant at first, but I'm sure I will have some fun with it!!!

When I get my Navarra BE which I hope will be this week (although probably because I want it so much it will be the first week of July) then I will take loads of photos.
I think its very hard to judge the BE from photos or the configurator images.
I chose the colour because my current Golf R is night blue and NB is a bit lighter and more shiny; but I like blue because it can be dark and moody at night and shiny and eye catching in the day. Without going all out with bright colours or dark colours without any sparkle.

It's a one year old R so Mark 7. It's a amazing car. I love it. But due to mileage for work I decided time to change up to a S3 Saloon with some extra tech features the R doesn't have.

Would be good to read your opinions on the S3 vs 7R, especially handling.

I think the V spoke wheels look good from certain angles. My car was off the showroom floor so I didn't get a choice of wheels. But I do like them and get plenty of compliments.

I love my Navarra Sportback - but i think it may be a feature of the pearlescent paint that it shows swirl marks more than even a flat black car. Cleaned yesterday and then with quick detailer to get rid of all the water marks etc and from 6 feet, it looked stunning in the sun with all its bluey / purply shineyness - but any closer and the swirls were there.
(note: I have fairly bad OCD....)
Currently looking at a new SQ5 and thinking about a different, flat, colour having had Estoril and Navarra - maybe go white again.
