Red leather with Estoril blue paintwork...  :sick:

Each to their own I suppose.

I'd hold that thought till you see it at least, it may be ugly as fook!!

However, after test driving the car i thought i'd replace my GTI with and being quite disappointed i'm very curious to see how it looks!

went to see the new focus ST yesterday

sad to say its a dog to look at. im sure it will be a great drive but it just doesnt look right.

think i would wait till the RS comes out (please ford!)

also went to see the GT86 and for that price i think its a rip off. iro.£20-22K it would really make sense but £28k with leather and sat nav goes against what the car was meant to be about surely?

Can you help me out with the colour choice please..... in two minds and its driving me nuts  :undecided:

Gotta be blue ! :cool:

Order changed to blue  :smiley:

I've had an interesting and stressful last few days to say the least.

Long story but remember me changing my order from Alpine White to Estoril Blue....... well guess what the car turned up in the country in frigging white! I only noticed the cock up when the dealership sent the car registration documents through to me on Wednesday for signature. Thank god I wasn't there to pick it up as there would have been blood on the forecourt.

Don't get me wrong I love white as I had a cw gti of course. However, I had my heart set on the Estoril Blue. I wasn't prepared to do the British thing and accept anything less even with compensation offered. After all the whole point of ordering a new car is to get the car and specification you want.

Anyway.... after the major clanger by the dealership I've binned them and re-ordered with another dealership.

The good thing that has come out of this is I've managed to negotiate 2k's worth of extras on the new order for the same price as the old car. So I've now added 'M Sport Adaptive suspension', 'Electric Sunroof' and 'BMW Service Inclusive Plus'. Got 9% of the price of the car all in all.

The other plus is the new dealership have a couple of 125i M Sports on order which are just about to go into production. My specification can be added to these cars so the delivery might not be so bad (fingers crossed).

What a palava!  The wait continues......

p.s still wasn't tempted to order the 135 before someone comments

Now that is one hell of a cock up :angry:

Good to hear that you've come out of it with extras tho... :cool: So have the new dealership given you any sort of timeline regarding delivery?
