Some pictures of my new VZ Edition following it's first wash and polish!

Looks like different colours in different lights, Magnetic Grey Metallic

The only 'clue' as to what you're driving, a very subtle 'engraving' in the rear light lens (side)

Driver's-eye view, the bonnet lines stand out from inside, but blend in from outside.

Welcome to the Tribe carbon fibre bracelet and key cover - the equivalent Leon Cupra set retails for around £140, although not sure why?

Alloy close up and those Brembo brakes, reassuring Audi logos all over! Alloys easy to clean with no fussy little fiddly bits that need a toothbrush to access!!
Did your have the foam under the boot floor ? some have it some dont. Some cars got it as though a spare was being fitted but no spare wheel there.

No, no foam under the boot floor, just a shallow circular void with no spare wheel. The tyre repair kit (can and compressor) is supplied in a nice little cover which fits neatly in one of the side pockets in the boot.

Hopefully that gets resolved for you, it's an epic car and worth waiting for. Another tip, if you take out the 5 day drive away insurance, be prepared for Seat Insurance to not be able to find the Formentor on their system! My call advisor held out and spoke to an underwriter in the team, who 'found' the Formentor in an obscure area (not listed alphabetically, apparently!) on their system! Makes sure you check on the Forum for what you should expect to get when you collect your car too - I didn't get a First Aid Kit (will be on to my Dealer Monday), others haven't received mats etc. Again, another example of a Premium product, but not a Premium Brand?
Good Luck
Thanks for the heads up!

Hopefully I receive everything that I should receive when I do eventually receive my Formentor. When my Ateca was delivered it only came with one key so I refused to accept it until I had a spare key!

Sorting out insurance sounds like a nightmare. Hopefully things improve in the next 3 months leading up to when I should take delivery of mine.

Loads of insurers available now buddy, the comparison sites have the car in the database and plenty of underwriters.

You'll need to produce an 'Idiots Guide to the Gallery' for me, not just hint, hint. I did try but couldn't see how to upload photos there....sorry!

No problems :) I will put a guide together as we don't have one currently (it's a relatively new feature). @Gregums your account is new so you won't have permission to upload to the section until your account switches from "Member" to "Active member" - sorry. Criteria here. We have to have this in place to protect against the spammers and porn uploaders!

No problem and please don't apologise as it's there for good reason, I can wait to progress to 'Active Member', something to look forward to. I feel a little better as it's not just my age ?, I was really chuffed to sort out my Cupra ID (?)
