I could have collected mines Saturday gone, so there have been deliveries. It’s been held for the detailer. Not heard anything about the plaque though so don’t think it happened. Unless they keeping it as a ‘surprise’ when I see it Friday.

The plaque will be applied during PDI and the number is based on when the order was taken and not when the car is delivered to the customer

Bosch have an excellent brand, and 'share' production with other battery companies including Varta and Exide.

They do make good wiper blades though :wink:

If they're not already on the car I wouldn't bother. They're only fitted to satisfy some random EU regulation.

Looked after, coated, etc, red ain’t gonna fade. Not these days.

Agreed. I have seen first hand MK5 GTI Edition 30's and early MK7 GTI's in tornado red and they look as good as the day they left the factory. Obviously those cars were cherished but even a neglected car should hold up well. Modern paints and clearcoats shouldn't fade or flake like some old 1990's Toyota.
