I had confirmation today that mine is built (week 10) and in transit. He also said they are currently asking head-office if they can Tax them and release them before the 6th. I think this is unlikely but I imagine the number of cars being handed to drivers on the 6th is going to make it very tricky for them!

I hope you are wrong... I've been given a build week 10 and told the car will be ready just before the official launch date which is 6th April.

Thanks for posting these picture! Much appreciated. I have ordered the SEL Quartz Grey with Cream interior so these pics are great for me. Do you have any wide/full outside shots?

Thanks... I hate that Skoda are showing these cars in Wheels we can't have, even the UK mini brochure is wrong!

Please upload more! lol Do you have any shots of the different wheels?

The Skoda UK configurator shows: 2.0 TSI 0-62 in 7.82s At the end view configuration summary to see all the details, look in the performance section. I'm just a little worried their configurator might be wrong as it's quite a performance jump compared to ALL the other engines in the range including the 2.0 TDI 190 which is only 8.6s I'm at the dealer tomorrow morning placing my order!

lol ... 1.4TSI is about 9.6s I think, which is quite a bit slower.

Can that be right? Wow, I might change my order from the 1.4TSI to the 2.0TSI if that's correct!

My advice would be to keep the term as short as possible when ordering a launch vehicle without seeing it, in 2 years there could be something else you like more, better specs, options, trim, version etc etc.

That is 2wd dsg, I can get 4wd dsg £301.41 or Edition dsg 2wd £301.88 or Edition dsg 4wd £319.88 ... Looks like I'm £20 a month less across all options. The dealer is basically doing everything for me at 4x23 to reduce the monthly figure and they are going to pay one of the upfront payments, so I pay 3x23. I'm happy to PM you the quotes on Saturday so you can bash your dealer over the head with them and get it cheaper.

A little of my photoshop magic for comparison:

So do you think the word "Polished" in the brochure will mean the Anthracite one? I hope so, me and Dr Pepper will be a little happier.

OK. I think I have the best quote in here but won't sign until the weekend so don't want to bugger up the deal with 100s of people calling them. I will post the dealer info soon. 3x23 (£843 then £281pm) for a 1.4 DSG SEL Metalic/Tiglav ... That's just £3650 a year to drive round in a really nice car!

Indeed mate... When you are buying a new car wheels are key!

The top one is a different design, look more closely the top one is a different wheel, the points meet at the hub. Unless the 20" Tiglavs are designed slightly different.
