Make that 2 !! Awesome car, now the proud owner of a 2.0l TDI DSG Black Edition which goes like stink!! ..with some lovely wheel ;-) photos to follow (though slightly ruined with a roof box as I am not off on hols) yee ha

Hi Pbomb/Saurabhdutt, they didn't charge me extra, I expressed concern about it as I ordered without seeing it in the flesh, so they said if I didn't like them then I could choose any wheels they had (18" or below) so when they got a black edition in (not mine) I went to look at it and I didn't like them. They are anthracite (black silver) which look lovely. And my dealership is Bury St Edmunds. 27 mins and counting ...eek ..like a kid waiting for christmas!!

I am picking up my black black edition at 12pm tomorrow. I will try and get pics on asap. My dealer has swapped the wheels for me as the black turini wheels on the black version just didn't do it for me, I don't think they suited the look of the car, not like the white version, where the contrast works really well. I will have18" vrs gemini's on mine. V. excited.

Hope to be joining you within the next few days, mine should be docked and being taken to the dealer. I will post some pics of the black version of the black edition as soon as I get it ;-) Yours looks the business Saurabhdutt. Happy driving !!

Sorry messed up trying to post from my phone. I have gone for the black one, I have just found out mine is still waiting at dock in Germany - gutted. I need it to go on holiday on the 7th August, that is looking unlikely at this rate! They tagged it for me on the 15th so I don't know why it hasn't got onto a boat yet.

Looks lovely mate, better than the black I think. Out of interest when did you order it ? I presume you took these photos at your dealership ? I ordered mine on the 15th July it was at status 36 which meant sat at port in Germany. I was told it was on the ship on Tuesday, so just wondered how long you had to wait between ordering and getting it here?

Excellent, you have really cheered me up. I chased Bury St Edmunds today and mine is released to ship...fingers crossed the sea's are calm !! I think yours will look the business in white, especially with the contrast of the wheels. Did it have anything else on it we weren't expecting?

Brilliant, I am so excited now after seeing you pics, sorry for sounding like a 5 yr old. I have been preparing myself for disappointment. Is this your car? If not where did you get to see it. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks Fluffy that is really useful. Which dealer are you using, it would be good to know when I am haggling with Bury St Edmunds. Cheers

Hi Saurahdutt, I have been assured by the dealer it has the armrest and also by SCC UK. If it hasn't then it is going to be very awkward in the dealership because I probably won't be driving it away. When I spoke SCC UK, they said it was so new they were only notified at the end of Jun. I am guessing then that the TDF were built and released earlier to coincide with the TDF build up. I have to say the product information and lack of photos is pretty poor. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks wiggo it just that I have ordered a brand new car for the first time and the dealer kept saying whoever fits it would have to warranty the electrics... It sounded like a 'if you have a problems with the car it won't be down to us to sort out' ... kind of comment. i am just wary oh yes and it is on a pcp so doubly wary

Hi Niall which dealer did you use? I have been quoted £700 fully fitted for a detachable bar ( I have no tow bar prep). It seems far too expensive but I don't want to invalidate my warranty by getting an independent do it. Cheers

I went for black, as shrop_paul suggests the black edition in white seems a little of an oxymoron. Fingers crossed. good to have someone else to moan to when we find out we have been jooped! Looking forward to it now,

Well I have gone for it my 2.0 black edition octavia estate is arriving at the end of the month. I rang SUK and Matt there was very helpful, but said even they had only just been told about the black edition at the end of Jun, so very new. What swung for me was the dealer said if I hated the wheels when it turned up I could swap them for any that I wanted FOC. I can't say fairer than that, oh yeah and I got some free roof bars ;-) (so easily pleased) when I get it I will try and post some photos if anyone is interested.
