My Red Edition 30 has arived-Lots of pics
« on: 02 April 2007, 15:39 »
Hi Guys

Picked her up today at 10am. go her home and started work, Washed the car (properly!!!) clayed the full body work, removed some light swill marks and have waxed the car fully with PS21. Car now looks stunning and I am so so happy with it. The 10 miles from the dealer to my house was a pleaure, it was very responsive and turned heads! Made sure the dealer put a full take of Bp Ultimate in so make sure you get them to do the same. Will go and have a fiddle with the higline comp and I-pod connection now.

Dealer told me that the car does not need running in and I sould just drive it off as normal! I questioned this and he says they are already run in. My view is that I will not be going over 3500rpm for the first 1000 miles, this will also give the brakes, tyers etc to also run in correctly.

Hope these pics keep the ones that are waiting happy. ha ha, I have just noticed I have managed to post my self in one of the photos, what a retard!

Nath

Also matched the calipers!  Looks sweet though.  Do you have rear tints?  Some photos look dark and others dont!
Is your ashtray area just a hole?  I have still have a few weeks to wait for mine and am unsure as to what I'll get in the ashtray area!

Very Nice. You can polish mine if you want!

I can't believe some of the information that the dealers give out. There is a section in the handbook detailing running in.

I followed the running in instructions and gradually built up the revs over near 1200 miles. Kept an eye on the oil level as mention in some other posts and she hasn't used a drop.

Enjoy. But wait until shes run in.................. :wink:

Hi

No I didn't go for the rear tints, it is probs just my bad camera. No the ash trash area just has a black push up cover over it! I am sure I have seen other peoples that look alloy tho? I don't have the smoking pack by the way!

Thanks for all your nice comments

The alloy look ashtray cover is standard on the .:R32 only.  You can get aftermarket ones, or even the genuine OEM 32 cover to fit though.
