I concur! Reflections don't get any better than DBP. Just wait till I've detailed and smothered it in my favourite carnauba wax! Congratulations Rebecca it looks stunning....and very mean!It looks amazing now. I can't wait to see what it looks like after you've detailed it. Enjoy! :-)

Quote from: Booth11 on 30 September 2015, 17:09Picked it up! After an 8 month wait, picked up my new R this morning. Efficient, no frills handover at JCB Medway, suited me fine. Formalities over, started it up and off we went. Only driven 50 miles so far, but, it's THE BEST first 50 miles in any car I've ever had. Awesome and exhilarating!!! It's on another level compared to my Mk6 GTI. 8 months wait melted away with every mile. Oh, and shod with Conti 5P's! The R and I are going to have fun.....and then some! Here's few pics, after I gave it a quick wash. I'd asked JCB not to wash or prep it and they duly complied. In fact it was filthy, lol. Needs a proper detail but all in good time. Glad to see you finally have your long awaited arrival Rebecca! It looks just as fantastic as I knew it would. Look forward to seeing a lot more of it in the detailing section soon Enjoy your new wheels!

I was wondering if the R would look a big plain in DBP, without the fogs and that but wow. Looks stunning Booth, can't wait to see it properly detailed in the detailing section.
Booth11:You got the Contis - result. VAG seem to have an odd mix of tyres lately, the wife's new A1 came on Hankook rubber.Just be easy on the turbo!
Now what have you been doing to your R to destroy the turbo so quickly.

I wish I had been treating it mean to explain it's lack of longevity, perhaps that ignored wastegate ringing was actually turbo blades or similar hitting off housing - seems crazy to me that metal on metal scraping noises can be considered normal. Metal on metal = wear.
