The entire dealership were taken aback by how good the white looks and I have to agree! The drive home was surreal and think I'm going to be having too much fun! Just for clarification, this is the R Black Edition with the 19" Estoril Black Alloys, Pano Roof and Harmon Kardon. Any questions feel free to ask! She will be having her own members ride thread shortly! Looks stunning… so glad I went for white too. Just over a week to go before I pick mine up!

It’s refreshing to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however think @Booth11 snuck into the dealer overnight and stole the cover and bow as it was nowhere to be seen! stan1000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msportman Posted December 24, 2024 Report Share Posted December 24, 2024 17 hours ago, TurboTrev said: As ever, many thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed reply.👍 While I'm no boy (pensioner) racer, I have never even tried eco mode in any of my cars.🤣 I use Eco most of the time in my 7 usually mundane cruising on the motorway or around town it does save fuel. It's stage 2 therefore in Eco I was told by APR that the boost was 0.75-95 bar boost so it's very low. Still plenty on kick down and a quick nudge into S on the DSG selector or using a paddle automatically gives it the 400bhp as in Normal or Race modes. You shouldn't have issues with this new Continental Turbo unlike the early IHI as on 7/7.5 R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to Mrs Mike - nice that she has had a sneak preview of her Christmas pressie and is happy with it. No doubt there will be after market solutions to protect the rad & intercooler in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s what i’m hoping for, if anyone finds anything then please do share. My Mk8 only had 7.5 K and i thought it started to look a bit tatty already 🫣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captjack Posted December 24, 2024 Report Share Posted December 24, 2024 The white looks stunning, although mine is built, it won’t be till March till it see the road. That seems a lifetime away !! TheJetMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzard60 Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 Could anyone that has picked up your new 8.5R confirm that it still comes with a USB cable? And if so, any chance you could confirm if the P/N is 000-051-446-BG? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
