Very nice :D The Tungsten Metallic next to it is better though :mrgreen:... or is it Reflex Silver like my old B6 :oops: Well, I would have went for Tungsten silver met. but I am currently driving a silver car so needed a change. Fair enough. We've had a new B5, used B6 and a new B7 in Reflex Silve...

Well, I would have went for Tungsten silver met. but I am currently driving a silver car so needed a change.

Hard to beat a dark blue metallics. Mines Indigo blue , a pearlescent metallic , get the sun out and B A N G. It looks like the lighter Inky blue and get the angle right and you can see purples. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s645/Gazwould/20150722_095356_zpsrxgryu3d.jpg http://i1310.photobuck...

They must to change it then.

No.
My one is still at the left and it was built week 24.
Waiting in the dealers now for collection.

If you are using an android phone, check if it will playbal "FLAC" files.
if so, Rip your cd's to flac and play them back via the phone.
Otherwise MP3 @ 320Kbps is probably your best option/

If I had to have a black interior, I would not have had a Passat. Every Passat you see if either black, silver, white or grey with black interior. So wanted to have something different. But trust me, when this is three years old, the interior will look as good as it does now. I have Oyster leather ...

Stunning.
I had St.Tropez leather specs on mine as well buy chickened out and went for Black instead.
Looks really well with the blue,
Well wear.

No need for apologies.

We all go on what we are told.

I have a 150 A6 at present and it took 17 litres of adblue yesterday (after 5,600 miles). It's the same engine as the Passat. I'm 99.9% certain that it will require adblue. I hope I'm wrong but I reckon I'm not! As I said. I asked the dealer and he said certainly not. Same as the Skoda and Seat 150...

dom wrote:You're in for a disappointment then - the 150 requires adblue also.

Since when?
You were the first I heard saying that.
I specifically asked my dealer and he said no.

Good to hear! I'm getting my Highline SE Business on 18s this week and was getting a bit worried by some of those report re crashy noisy suspension. Aaaah..!! You beat me to it.. My Highline B.E is arriving at my dealers end this week but unfortunately must wait another few weeks until i can collec...

Funny you should mention that.
The guy in parts in the dealers did mention something about some plastic bits but assumed they were black plastic instead of chrome exhaust bits.
I will try get to him today and confirm this.

^^
Sounds extremely nice.
Very good options as well.

That looks really nice.
Well wear.

Sorry for the delay guys.

This is what I got from my dealer.

3GO 807 521 M GRU
Spoiler

3GO 807 873 2ZZ
Trim for Exhaust Tail Pipe Chrome X2 . >>> 1 Left & 1 Right

€199 here in Ireland for the kit. great have you a part number for the kit ? will this kit fit to a highline? I am actually away from home right now. In Dublin. Will be home in Cork tonight and will post part numbers. The dealer checked and all carients have the same part numbers for the bumpers ...

I am on my 3rd Octavia vRS cr170 and have a Passat 150 ordered.
I can honestly say I find zero difference in performance between the two on normal driving.

From a dealer
Unpainted and unfitted.

Over the counter parts so to speak.
