8.5R New arrivals thread!

Got the phone call today to say the car had arrived - quicker than I thought it would 

Lapiz Blue non black edition 

Had a quick look at it after work and all looks good from what I see but sitting outside in the rain I didn’t look at it for too long 

No boot mat or blinds in the boot though I’m not worried about that as I have my own boot liner and wouldn’t have fitted the blinds anyway

Hankook tyres on the Diamond cut Warmenau will see what they are like and I’ve Pilot 4 S’s to fit if need be 

Will be a while before I can collect as it’s going for PPF and the ceramic coating first and the detailers are busy 

Not in a big rush to get it as the weather is rubbish at the minute anyways

Nice 👍🏽

 

Have they registered or are they parking it up till March?

 

I’m the same about the matt and the blinds they will most likely be surplus to requirement. (But yet it would be nice to know how they have been allocated 😂 it’s a mystery)

 

You going full car PPF or nose and side skirts ?

Good news!  Is your dealership holding it for you then, until your detailer can fit it in? Should be all well protected after its detail and ready for the weather whatever it is.

As soon as it’s PPF’d and coated I’ll collect the car I’m not interested in parking it until March as it doesn’t affect values on N. Ireland cars 

Frontal PPF sideskirts and all of the gloss black trims including the centre console

If it was to go very close to the March date I would hold off registration but it’s not a big deal as our plates are dateless (though I’ll put my own plate on)

The year is all that is important in relation to the value on cars here

Albert IV looks great with the black Estorils, lovely combo with the black edition.
