What ever you go for you wont be dissapointed!  :wink:

Go for the one with the shortest wait-time as long as it meets your requirements. Over a nine year period of ownership, price differences will be miniscule.

All the best, and looking forward to the pictures. :wink:

When I have sorted cash flow. Deposit down and car will now not be driven any more. Hopefully within a few weeks. Then will get Darren to sort out the RNS510 (has RCD510 - resale value?) and them trimstar in Colchester to put in the leather.

I think black leather, but suggestions welcome!

Congratulations again. Great car. Great spec.
Glad you went with my recommendation of Trimstar. You won't be disappointed.
RCD510 resale value, £300-£350.

As for the leather, I would look at another colour other than black. Too much black with a dark car. Trimstar have some very valid suggestions. I would go for lighter leather or a combination of two colours. I'll have a look now at the colours and get back in a few moments.

I am really happy and excited for you.

I've seen the RCD510 go on ebay for around £250 but maybe ask Darren if he knows someone who's looking for one when he sorts you a RNS510 out.

Their colour swatches are not very representative of the 'real' colours.

I rather like a deep dark red or deep dark red with black bolsters as in their pictures. But that's my taste.

I just would not go for common and safe black if I were you. You have the opportunity to be creative and different, so grab it!

How exciting.

Will try and be creative, for sure!

Now got to put the MY02 GT TDI on eBay. Might need a bit of a clean!!

Did you deal with Paul Mitchell, MD Trimstar?
I dealt with him on 24/3/2010 when I was considering a leather re-trim.
Very helpful, reliable, trustworthy.
Mention me (Asker) and say hi!

PS: I was going for Tan leather for my Red car.
