A number of people on here didn't spec xenons and lived to regret it.  Yes they are expensive but they look the dogs dangles, and give brilliant light in the dark.

I was one of them, ended up retrofitting them as I had them on the MK5 and missed them as I drive a lot of country roads.

I will always tick that option again.  :laugh:

^+1 for xenons. One of the features I like best about my car. Now I've got them, wouldn't want to be without them.

I'm glad - makes me feel like I've made the right choice.  Hopeful in a week or two, when my car finally arrives I'll be in a position to agree with you.... :undecided:

Cool   :cool: 

Hopefully its a bit quieter after the march rush but after build week it goes something like this:-

Then its 'wait to hear if it has been built week'.  Then its 'wait for it to get to the port week'.  Then its 'wait at the port week 1'.  Then its 'wait at the port week 2'.  Then its 'wait for it to be shipped to the dealer week'.  Then its 'wait for dealer to pre and do the paper work'.  Then 'nervous breakdown if I don’t get it right now' week.  Then its 'big smiles all week'.   :wink: 

I'm still smiling now - best car, for me, ever, period...

Oh I look forward to 'nervous breakdown' week and hope the big smiles week is not too far behind. Seems to be a lot of work goes into getting the car made then to the uk. I am still waiting for the dealer to confirm it is being built, guess i should give them a couple of days before I chase them.

You could use customer services as they seem to know more than the dealer.  Also they are easier to ring for updates. Theyre on 0800 0833 920 and you need a commission number which you can obtain from your dealer.
