My daughter was 2 weeks overdue when born, but this waiting is killing me more!
Just a thought do any UK owners consider a group meetup as a good idea? Say Bristol? |

Can anyone recommend someone who can fit 3M protection film? I'm in the Herts area.
Also, is the paint protection package really worth it? I find it hard to believe that one coat will last 4 years. Thanks |

Is this the one that costs about £300? The guy in the showroom tried to sell me this, said i would think about it, but would like to know if it's worth it also. Its supposed to maintain the 'new' look after every wash.

Re (Supagard) Paint Protection.
Like others, I wasn't prepared to give the Dealer £300. However with my previous car I was convinced that the treatments do work for about 2 years. So after research, I bought the Supagard stuff off ebay for less than £10 and did it myself. This is the one and seller I used, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPAGARD-3...item4ab4ce4abd The most important part is the preparation. A really good clean and removal of all tar, marks etc, otherwise you seal in the marks! The actual application is no different to polishing the car. The Supagard sealant comes enclosed in a sponge. You stab the sponge and apply a thin coat to the car, then buff. Job done. A quick clean and seal as done by the dealer - 1 hour. A good clean and seal 2-3 hours of your time and save £300. I am delighted with the result and I am sure that I did a better deep clean than any dealers apprentice would have done. I have since bought another pack and done the caravan - there was plenty of sealant in the sponge to do an entire caravan. I will probably repeat the treatment after about 18 months. |

Thanks Rogerbu, at £10.99, it's worth doing it yourself, as you say, you know you'll do a better job than any apprentice. Have ordered from that link, thanks.

Week 16 but no update
Its week 16 and have still not heard any updates in terms of order status from the dealer
Anyone else with a scheduled build slot for week 16 had any updates? The order form says expected delivery as 29th May. I keep waiting |

I have the sunroof wth zero problems after 7 months, it's a great addition to the car. The wind, water and traffic noise problems I have are nothing to do with roof. I'd say get the roof, it makes massive difference to the interior.

Just been speaking to the dealer and he said my car is up for production week commencing 7th May with an expected delivery of 1st week of June. Placed order on 2nd of march and order form says expected delivery 1st May . This waiting time is killing me.

I have been told that my order has slipped a build week ... no shit!
Actually now I see the screen shot its actually slipped two weeks ... What I want to know is why ... I asked the dealer which cars went 5055 as scheduled for week 16 build and he said that the 20D derivatives ... so it looks like the 20Ds are being pushed before the 35Ds ... so much for the myth of 35Ds getting built first ... All of that doesn't help me ... I need to get ride of my current by the end of May ... looks like I am going to be carless for a while ... ... its starting to grate me more and more that in the US they can just walk into a dealership, order a car and get it 3 weeks later. Time for a pretty emoticon ... doesn't quite convey how I feel, but it goes some way there ... |
