You liking it FF? This your first Octy?

Yeah, it's my first, I did about 50 miles today and I absolutely love it!

That's nice it will match my ear tunnels.

Nice in daylight - thought it would be darker like the "old" British Racing Green. Those wheels need to be left alone. Black ones are ***t.

Nice.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, I've been eagerly awaiting some "proper" pictures of this. Is your's the first in the country then?

What about the inside does it have the dark trim ?

Looking very nice.

That's a lovely looking colour on the octy. It really suits it

Are you mad?????? I agree on the shade of green though, needs to be darker. IMO!

More Emerald Green?

Can someone photoshop it into Emerald Green?

No I'm "not mad". I just think black wheels are awful. I won't take offence at the suggestion that I am....

Is your's the first in the country then?

Yes, according to the dealer (they already had it on order, apparently as a showroom car when I came knocking, it was the colour I wanted, and the spec was good, so I bought it instead!). There's another one due into the country any time now though...

It's got leather seats and a sort of dark, carbon effect on the trim (which looks waaay better than it sounds IMO! )

Pics? Think mine might have it but I hate the idea of fake carbon fibre - we'll see when it turns up...

You don't have to be mad to come to Briskoda... But it certainly helps! :moon:

Standard on the vRS now:

That's the normal "upgraded" vRS leather upholstery or is it the alcantara?

Ordered one in Steel Grey too with sunset, silver rails, and parking sensors. That's going to get built the first week in Jan apparently, although I'm sure that will slip back a week.

Really looking forward to seeing both of these.

James, is this a new colour? different to Anthracite?

Yes.

Get behind thee sataaaaaaaaan!

It's the optional leather interior.

Are these new "spec" interior finishes officially on 2012+ builds? Ie the carbon flashes/door inserts etc?

Yes.

See for yourself and download the latest brochure...

Ta for that.

I'd like to see what the alcantara looks like.

Me too, it has unique red stitching which sounds nice.

better in the flesh but race blue still hands down the best colour lol..

the black alcatara looks awesome aswell as the carbon.
