Welcome and congrats on the order, good to see you got the colour right. Have you gone for SB and S Tronic or Manual? any idea on delivery timescales? Mine was ordered officially mid Jan and due for a End of March Delivery (build week 9), so overall 8 weeks for a factory order.

Hi & to ASN Kev!

Nice to see the right colour lol

Like Nick says, what have you gone for? Manual or stronic? Hatchback, Sportback or saloon?

Thanks for the welcome.

Sorry for omitting the major details of model and transmission (hope my order form was not as vague)

Well after 2 x Golf R32's in Deep Blue Pearl each kept for 3 years and my S4 in Sprint Blue kept for 5 years, you would think I would try a different colour (wife wanted white) but in the end I could not resist the Sepang.

They are all slightly different shades anyway

 

[The Challinor]

50 shades of blue ( sorry could not resist ).

Sprint is a awesome colour, but I'm sure you'll be happy with Sepang.

You just can't polish and get that deepness with white.

Let me re phrase this, can't get the deepness and richness with white that you can a colour ( if that makes any sense ).

The pic above of my old A4 was a sealent. Never used a wax on the White all the time I owned it
