Hi XTO, i havent seen any in this combo photo wise, it was my secong choice but went for blue, look forward to seeing pics of yours soon, what sourcing co have you used?

It dosent matter if there is anything missing as you cant spec it!

Colin,

From what i saw online on the car configurator, i think im missing just the illuminated sills, ceramic breaks and the carbon wing mirrors. all options i can live with out.

Happy that the spyders have not colour matched the door side boards to the colour of the seats.

anyone know why they didnt make a removerable hard roof/top?

The hood is a pretty well engineered piece of kit. A hardtop would exacerbate the weight gain and it would all be above the centre of gravity which would affect the handling.

Pretty sure the shape would be different too (more bulbous rear) and these things should be beautiful to look at!

Don't ya just hate it that you can't edit the thread title...

Well i've gone an bought the car, (back to subject).

not bad really delivery end of May, considering that Audi want circa 12 months or Q4 2010 for a new one.

Just hoping the red and black combo will look good.

Hi

Are you getting the car ultimately delivered thru Lincoln Audi ?

If so, then its my car that I ordered and didnt proceed with due to mad Audi pricing policies. The sourcing company they use is pretty good though.

What did you pay in the end ? I gave them my May slot (colours are right) and spec.

Reason I did this is because Audi management chose not to be nice to existing customers and thought they could price gouge without consequence.

Cheers
