Smoothie Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hi folks, Anyone successfully specced exclusive paint on a new car in last couple of weeks? I noted that all mention of exclusive paint etc has been removed from the configurator for all models here in the UK. It is still covered for the config for other countries - including Ireland which also uses right-hand-drive cars Anyone know if that signals an end; or, a temporary suspension of the exclusive options in UK? I would ask Audi central customer services, but they never answer questions and simply direct you to a dealer. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hmm, this is very interesting Alan. I wonder what other features car manufacturers will cut! It's still strange that they have though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothie Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Finally - a guy at a dealer actually listened and did some digging for me, He confirmed the exclusive order book for UK is full - for around 12 months Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoothie Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks Steve - the official answer came that the suspension was indefinite - which may mean 12 months - maybe not even then. I can wait till the end of the year - but if I cant get an exclusive colour on an A7 - and with the standard colours being so boring and conservative - I would definitely go another way - and it would not be an Audi. The lack of certainty makes my financial planning awkward. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can understand why they can give you an exact time frame as it's all down to how many cars they can manufacture and how quickly.

SeanA4 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 If it's just the colour option that is holding you back, have you thought about having a full vinyl wrap? You can get the desired colour and protect the paintwork at the same time. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Thanks Sean - yes if i was buying second hand it would be the way to go - but I am not sure the lease company would allow it - and there are some horror stories when taking a wrap off - not sure gap insurance would cover ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
