What's not to like? It's gorgeous 😀

Looks good in that photo.
Except for those fake exhausts.
Would love to replace them with a set of dual pipes each side.
It bit more like a Macan S set of quads.

Agree. I didn't realise they were pure fakery till I stuck my head underneath. It looked stupid ideling in the cold, as the exhaust gasses drift around under the rear of the car. I'd been wondering about extending the pipe work, but maybe the plastic trim would tarnish quicker than my S3 chrome pipes - which are a PITA to clean

I ordered an Indium 162 DAP not R-Line on 4th July and was allocated a car that had just been loaded on a ship and the ship arrived mid-August and I got the car just over a week ago. There's something pretty weird about VW's ordering and allocation process.

There can be multiple issues for the delay. I ordered a (Business) R-Line in The Netherlands and was told there were problems with the front bumpers and my leather seats. If I did not take the leather seats, my delivery could be 6 weeks earlier. If I'd let go of the R-Line package it would be another 4-5 weeks earlier. I wanted both and had to wait a total of 5.5 months now and I can pick it up this Wednesday. (also earlier then expected, it was originally due for the 27th of October) . But that earlier delivery times is also possible because my car doesn't have to take a boat trip for 4-6 weeks and I can imagine that those dates are pretty solid as they have to buy a spot on the boat I guess.
