New T6.1 order delays

[66tim99]

If it’s the naff chrome stripe down the side you had a lucky escape, here’s what it would of looked like. Looks way better without it.View attachment 86103

No, I swerved the chrome pack intentionally. I might consider blacking other chrome - we'll see

 

[66tim99]

Nice glad it’s arrived.
What wheels has it got?

Thanks. I'm overchuffed.
Its got the Springfields that come with the sports pack.

I’ve got the black badges and will be doing front grill black on my joker when it finally turns up. After some black wheels but did want to stick with 17” those springfields look good though.
Hope you have a trip planned for next week

Can anyone spot what's missing?

Art velour seats?

It's doesn't have a shadow?

Only joking @66tim99 , I assume it’s the b pillars, should be black?

Getting 17" ones redone in Black (or similar) is cost effective plus a wide range of cheaper tyre options remains.

Yes - the dealer had missed that. So it seems did the factory... so that’ll be it’s first warranty repair.

 

[66tim99]

Art velour seats?

I missed those and regret it slightly. But for a few hundred quid saving I have ordered bespoke faux leather and alcantara covers that will be fitted by the suppliers...so I get the colour I want AND the original seats under...so I’m at peace with the error

Strange isn’t it, thought that got added automatically

So annoying. At least they are an easy item to add.
Bet you can’t wait for collection day now! Look forward to seeing better pics as that screen shot doesn’t do the wheels any justice

Brilliant Tim, really pleased for you mate. Looks good without the ugly number plate on the front but don’t think you’ll get away with that for long

 

[bob_summers]

Nice one Tim, always glad to see one of us “fly the nest” of this damn thread! You’ve been here longer than most. Many, many happy memories in Billy,mate and will look forward to your posts in the “view from your cali” thread!

I’m gonna be here for the next 12 months at least, as will a few more of us I reckon. I’m jealous of Tim already!!!

 

[bob_summers]

I’ll be keeping you company til at least February but I suspect much longer

 

[PhilR]

Ah well, gives us something to do over the winter! I was here this time last year, from September until January when I gave up. I’ll get that Cali one day I’m sure…..

I collected mine today. Will post some pics when it finally stops raining! It is definitely worth the wait.

Ooh excellent stuff! Can’t wait to see your photos as we’ve ordered Fortana too.

Ah just remembered your other thread.
We should get t shirts printed, “I survived the New 6.1 Order Delays Thread”

Congrats, really pleased for you Tim, we're 6 months in and remember you on this thread from the beginning!

Only thing missing is sunshine..

I’m taking it straight to Azuri in Stevenage for a ceramic and ppf-ing, then picking it up 5 days later for its first overnight (solo ) at South Lytchett Manor before an early Alpine speaker upgrade at Advanced In-Car in Poole and to pick up a sliding rear tray from @Craig Storey. Won’t be able to get away properly until end of November

For those of you who are following the delivery timescale of others to gain an insight into your own expected wait, I can let you have another update on my order. I called my dealer today as I had heard nothing for a month. Got the good news that my ocean is now at stage 38; at Emden cleared for shipping. Not much longer to wait

Latest news is that my new Ocean is at Breeze in Poole ready for collection after they have lowered and undersealed it. Ordered 1st Feb 2021. Booked a couple of nights in Swanage to give it a trial run. Hope it's as faultless as my current 2008 Ocean Edition.

Fingers crossed for you. Undersealed with Dinitrol?
You think it necessary because you live near the sea?
