That is one lovely thing to behold.

What options did you select apart from the inscription paint and interior?

I'm struggling with my selection, particularly the colour.

However, I keep coming back to your picture and say "that's £925 well spent" but also like ice white (we've had two XC60s in that colour before).

Only problem we have found with white is when you get nasty stone chips and the galvanised grey underbody shows through.

Actually its less than that as you'd pay £330 for solid paint and £625 for Metallic anyway.

I have to say the Inscription paint is very Q7 (thats a compliment by the way)

Too many grey cars on the road, try something different!

Solid white or black is easy to touch up invisibly though. The hardest is silver in my experience. The dark metallics aren't too bad though.

Hi there
The packs have all changed since I got my MY12 car but I got front and rear sensors, front and back heated seats (indulging the teens in the back!!), folding mirrors, electric memory drivers seat, tinted glass, and I also got the Safety (Driver support) pack which I really value personally. Think that's it - oh, and DAB radio - no car is complete without that in my view, sat nav too, although I don't find that brilliant and prefer Garmin or Tom Tom.
