    New Audi A5/S5 picture thread

    Good evening, After what has been almost a 9 month wait, I picked up my new wheels. As promised here are some pictures before my drive back up to Scotland. I confess that it’s not as clean and shiny sitting in my garage to tonight. The weather has not been kind this weekend. On the bright side...

    Hi All, My Car has finally arrived at the dealer and is getting ready for my collection that I hope will take place a week on Saturday (2nd Nov) Here's the Background. I placed the order in March. Was promised a July delivery, then I was told I would get a MY2020 version, only to be told I...

    Order frustration

    Good evening, I think getting a car that you customise straight from the factory is a treat and something I have always aspired to do. I’ve done it for my last three cars. It might not be financially astute, but I’m getting what I want. Well almost- no one in the UK would take an order for a...

    Order frustration

    Thought I would bring you up to date with my order. It was March that I placed my order. My Car went from a MY2019 to a MY2020 back to a MY2019 with the reason being a delay on the MY2020 builds until the start of the year. I could have had a bespoke Bentley built in that time - not that I could...

    Order frustration

    I am also feeling your frustration. I placed an order for 45 tfsi sb black edition in March. I Was told 30th July delivery date. I was then told My order is changing to MY2020. Not heard a thing about a delivery date. I don’t know what the new A5 will look like. Hopefully I can still get the...

    Loving the flake pop. Like you I have sepang blue, but it's never looked like that - I must try harder. Mind you, the weather has been poor in Scotland lately.

    What Detailing / Car Care Products Have You Bought / Ordered Today?

    I did a wash today (it was sunny in Scotland today - honest) and felt lots of tar on the parts of car just behind the front wheels. As the car has a Nanlex Si3D Sealant, I want something that will not remove my coating. So I have stuck to nanolex and gone for:- Your Order Details...

    New A5 Owner

    If the car has left the factory. I think you will be in it soon. Probably by the month end. Enjoy. I am thinking of running a colour poll. Daytona, Sepang, Misano, White and Black. What colour looks best on a A5. What do you think? Michael

    Finally got it

    Here is a few picture of my purchase. It's been worth the wait. The 190 TDI is a quite and although I have only done 70 miles, frugal too. Its already bettering my old car. Mind you, its not exactly being pushed hard - for the time being. Here are a few pictures. It is going to be professionally...

    Alloy wheel insurance

    Just picked up my new car last night. Will post pics later. However, I have gleaming new wheels and would like to keep them that way. If the worst does happen - and it will- and I scrape one. Is there an independent insurer out there that I can use. I was quoted £449 yesterday from Audi. Surely...

    Got an e-mail and picture of my car saying it had arrived at Edinbugh Audi. Was surprised to see that it was sitting out in the open without any white plastic protecting like the car behind it. There is a lot of birds and bad weather about between now and September :bye:

    Although the specification may incorrect, I would believe the production flow. Check everyday you will be surprised at the speed of the production processes even with the transportation stages. My car has flown through. In fact it has arrived in Edinburgh. Now do I get it now or wait for the 65...

    What's everyone's favourite wax??

    I have been using Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance for the past four years on my A5. I do not have a bad thing to say about it. Lasts well and polishes off - easily when applied sparingly. Still got over half the tin left, which will no doubt last the lifetime of my next car.

    yourAudi - Track New Car Order

    As expected, the BETA site does not have all your options captured. It just list the common items. Edinburgh Audi have confirmed that I am getting the wheels I ordered. So all fine in my world only 3-4 weeks to go. Happy days. It has been worthwhile asking the question and a lesson learned...
