Milo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The dealer has just been on; I've got a confirmed build date of week 8 so delivery to me will be week 11 hopefully (week commencing 6th March) so about 5 weeks to go. He also confirmed the leather upgrade went through without a hitch seemingly (so much for the brochure saying it wasn't allowed ). 2.0T 220PS Special Edition S-line Saloon Quattro Quartz Grey Metallic Black Valcona Leather Xenon Plus Lights Heated Front Seats Symphony II Colour DIS Front Centre Armrest Split Folding Rear Seats Plus the Special Edition bits 'n' pieces: 18" 15-spoke alloy wheels Ventilated Cross-Drilled Front Disc Brakes 3-spoke S-line Multifunction Steering Wheel Black Exhaust Pipes Black Headlining Brushed Aluminium Fascias etc S-line Scuff Plates I've even got my first 2 (ever) mods lined up! A lovely set of RS4 pedals courtesy of Neil (NelsonA4Sline) and the ambient lighting LEDs I can officially start getting excited now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Result. That's good news. Fine choice of colour. I ordered the same car and colour (and similar spec) on Friday after making the dealer line up a dolphin grey, avus silver, quartz grey and akoya silver version of the A4 so we could make our minds up. I was leaning towards Dolphin grey but that's the colour of my existing B6, so went for a change. Phantom black looked great in the showroom but I'd be forever cleaning it.

UBM Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Maybe it will turn up with the right leather, but wrong colour, like mine...Phantom Black - you know it makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I wish! I originally ordered Phantom Black Metallic, but got Phantom black (non)-pearlescent... I have been mooting the subject of S4 avants recently. We ( ) decided that we coould not afford the fuel and we ( ) also decided we did not want to put the baby at imminent risk by driving like a cretin in a car with about 2.5 times more power than I currently have. Shame, seen a nice black one, 63k on the clock for 23 grand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take recently, faithful dishwasher breaks wife begs me for days for this £1000 Miele Stainless steel one, so i finally give in, wats wrong with a normal hotpoint one? Apprently it will look good with the new kitchen... what new kitchen FFS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Great News Milo. Did you ever see a Special Edition Brochure? Still not sure about this two-tone leather business and I don't think Audi are either. My Dealer seems to think they don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 No brochure The A4 glossys the dealer had only showed the s-line and the DTM. The only official Audi literature I have is the downloaded pricelist. That lists the interior as Full Black Volterra Leather. When you go to the interior details at the end though it clearly states though that Volterra leather on the sports seats is either black/graphite or pale grey/light grey so definitely 2 tone. The price list also explicity states the only changes allowed to the leather is an upgrade to the Exclusive Line at a cost of £2300. And they're still 2 tone It appears I was lucky and have managed to get a unique car with all black Valcona leather. I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The car is the last thing on her mind at the moment as I agreed to other things a while back in order to smooth the way. She is far too busy making plans of her own Ms Milo is to become Mrs Milo in the not too distant future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
