Funny how colour makes such a difference. I couldn't have my CSS in anything but white - heritage nod to the MKI and the balance of contrast works perfectly but somehow the white on the TCR just doesn't hang together and the bodywork isn't that different. Pure Grey definitely the right choice for the TCR.
Talking of which, my detailer has finished the car and it's being dropped off on a low loader this Friday. Could have had it today but as it's my wife's car, wanted her to be here and the weather is awful until later in the week. No fun doing it in the rain. I've told her she needs to be here for a supermarket delivery - nearly got busted as she logged in to add items to the order and couldn't find any evidence of the delivery. Had to scramble a fake order. Think the detailer is quite enjoying the cloak and dagger - asked me which supermarket he should say he is from and what his delivery driver name is for when he rings the gate intercom!
The CS styling played on the length of the car, with that long thick stripe across the lower body with Clubsport signing and the elongated rear spolier, it made for nice long lines with white still the predominant colour, great looking car - This TCR in particular with the added roof and panoramic proved more of something is not necessarily a good thing
Did the cloak and dagger on the wife A1 SLine Black Edition - As far as she was concerned it was a pub lunch at one of our favourite places which just happens to have you pass close to the Audi garage had it delivered to - So it was, an "actually as we are passing and have some time, I just want to pop in and see if there is an S3 can look over" - Had the look of "really?! " haha and over we went.
Already had the young lad who was dealing with me onside and we just wandered in and I started to look over the S3 which knew was there (dragging it out) and testing her patience - Then I took over to one of the delivery bays citing I think a new S3 was in there pretty sure there was a polite sigh - Still having no idea it was actually hers she went, "O, I really like that"
Still dragging it out, just said, yes it is nice and started to look over it - The young lad then quietly handed me the keys and I then just handed them to her and said, its yours
The reaction is worth the effort and so looking forward to hearing how it all played out and her rating on her Ocado delivery
