I've sat in my new Superb :rofl:

Got a call from the dealer this afternoon, my Superb arrived today. Managed to call in on the way home and see it in all it's protective wrapping... AND IT HAD AN UMBRELLA IN THE BOOT B)

Chose my new registration and agreed collection on Saturday morning.

I CAN'T WAIT :D

Enjoy it in the weekend sunshine.

Oh stop this

I was fine waiting for another couple of weeks for mine, till you lot started this

Ah but when your's arrives, ours will be old (well 2 weeks old anyway)

True, but would like mine to arrive while the weather is so nice, just a couple of days without the need to clean that black paint would be great!

A few images, not great I'm afraid as they're from my iPhone...

Looks great in two-tone paint lol.

Don't like the blue bits, some kind of parking aid :rofl:

Yeah, I just couldn't decide on the colour... white or steel grey... so the dealer said he'd surprise me

I was impressed with the level of protection. OK, so it's not a full cover like Audi TT's used to have, but then it's the little things like the tape on the inside of the drivers door handle, to make sure the delivery driver's nails don't scratch the door. There's also some protection around the door pull, again on the driver's side, to remove the risk of grubby prints on the door.

I've watched this over the years, in 1981 I worked for Datsun, these were waxed, then in 1983 I worked in a VX dealer, and they had nothing on them, they used to really need claying infact, then a few years on it was VAG, these had wax on them that needed steam cleaning, and now it's a full plastic wrap, progress eh.

There are systems being looked at to basically put a car through a "carwash" which sprays a protective Polyurethane coating over the complete top surface of the vehicle. It can later be pulled of in "one" go and hey presto the beauty is revealed! Not sure if it will ever happen though.... cost now-a-days (thanks to oil prices) & technical demands.

Great news and your car looks great despite it's clothing! Been away a few days, no internet, checked my status upon getting home and mine's released for shipping, hope it's a fast boat that it gets loaded on to!

Getting excited now... I'm going to have to keep myself pretty busy tomorrow and Friday otherwise the days will drag.

It really looks like the factory is completing a lot of UK orders now :yes:

Meant to say- if you fold the umberella down it is will fit the rear nearside passanger door holder, so you can free up space in the boot

Just jealeous reaaly as my S wont have Umberella- however I didnt buy the cart for something I peronally would never use (being a slaphead rain isnt an issue)

nearly time to

With the camping season well under way, I'll be needing all that space... You could park the Superb in our tent it's that big... hmm, now there's an idea :lol:

Glad the see your car is here too

I'll soon be joining you, status updated to shipped, heading to England port! Yeeeehaaaa! Just hope it gets through this end quickly.....

Mine took about three weeks, but I'm down in Cheshire... the fact that you're in Huddersfield and the cars come into Grimsby means you might be able to shave a few days off that

I'm not purchasing from my local stealer as they're rubbish, so when it's released from Grimsby it'll be heading to Mansfield! I think the fly in the ointment will be bank holidays and dock/delivery company working patterns.... Might chase the dealer next week or when I have a status saying in gb!
