My New R36 - a disappointing start

LOL... yup, the double-sided sticky tape is brilliant. I gave them the plates and the tape and he looked at me blankly and said "what's that for". I have no idea how much they used - I'll probably never be able to get them off!

Good to hear you're getting a satisfactory result. I was very worried before my pickup but thankfully it was all as ordered. And looking very nice in grey.

BTW, how did you get those plates? I was looking at Euro plates too but I was told they are not customisable.

They are available here in QLD like that - the Q.....Z is fixed... and the PR36 was available.

Swallowtail, fantastic vehicle! We've actually already changed our order to Icelandic Grey, your car really re-confirms that the decision was the right one for us. Happy to hear that you've reached a satisfactory outcome with the other issues. Enjoy it!
Hope the VIC euro plates fit as well as your QLD ones!

I picked up my second VW last week, a 147 Tiguan, and they forgot to put on Park Assist! They then deducted $1400 off the price for their stuff up!

P.S Nice number plate

Mine is Q RO 36 Z

Doh! Brisbane dealer? Or Gold Coast?

QVW36Z would have been nice, but someone else already pinched that...

Audio is sorted out, getting installed next Thursday.

Getting an Arc Audio ks125.4 power amp to sit under the passenger seat, and a set of 4 Alpine SPX17REF speakers, with an LC6i audio control unit to take the output from the RNS510 to the Arc Audio amp. All will look exactly stock, but won't sound like it...
