Yeah. I know it’s common but it’s because it’s a great colour.

A deciding factor on the R was that I’d owned a pre-facelift gti pp before the S3 so didn’t think it felt new enough if that makes sense. Awesome car though.

It will look brilliant kind of the trademark colour that suits the interior so well.

You are all going to think I like a drama. I really don’t. My dealer has changed the price of my R for the second time. They will probably claim another mistake but I think it’s time to ask for my deposit back. Ridiculous.

How much did it change by?  Is it a car already in the UK or one potentially subject to the Brexit surcharge?

If you want me to put in touch with my dealer let me know. He's no nonsense, a great deal and has access to the biggest selection of new & unregistered.

Thanks for the offer. Whereabouts is the dealers based?

I’ve got a dealer contacting me tomorrow via Orange Wheels but not sure I want to wait 14 weeks as my S3 needs the tyres replacing really.
