9.5 months!!!! Thats such a long time. Why so long? Still it was worth the wait I'm sure. I saw the photos of your car when i was looking in the gallery forum. It looks really fantastic. I want your wheels on my new car. Sadly though i have spent all my money on the car + the sat nav,hft etc so nothing left for cool alloys[/quote]



It is a very long wait, that's for sure. I don't know why it took so long, really, but perhaps it has something to do with putting in my order from a very small dealer. Also, I was told that the 1.8i executive version (xenons, glass roof, sat-nav) was a very popular choice. You get a whole lot of extra valuable toys for a small amount of money. If you should added that kind of equipment into a similar (german i.e.) car, it would have cost a fortune.
Thanks for the comments on the wheels, appreciate.
After joining this forum, I know there are quite some differences between the UK and the mainland Europe versions for some reason. Over here, the above mentioned is standard equipment on the 'executive', but not on the 2.2 diesel(not available in Sweden, Finland) as they only sell the 'sport' edition of that one. A prize issue, I guess! Complicated, isn't it!
Oh, I guess you just have to save some money during the winter and wait for the spring purchasing your new alloys, when it is the right time of the year, and more people noticing them! Just my advice.....
......which reminds me.... I have to put on the winter wheels now!
