When you said ‘fully detailed’, if you are referring to somekind of protective layer over pain (be it ceramic coating or paint protection film (PPF)) and internal protection applied to upholstery do you mind sharing from your own experience and knowledge which one to go for as there are many types and manufacturers out there. Thanks.

Going in to see the dealer on Monday when we are back to discuss it with them as we can not put up with it.

As the are an optional extra - assume they can be removed fairly easily - the seat extenders?

No - its a different seat, there are different seats in the Momomtum, Inscription and R Design and the Pro pack makes a difference to all of those, so 6 basic seat shapes all in before other add on malarkey.

Ive the Momentum with the pro pack, which brings seat extenders, but the inscription ones are slightly different as well as having the smooth rather than elephants bum leather.

My XC60 was done with Gtechniq Still looking good after 5 years.

Inside depends on a couple of things - do you have pan roof and how is it used?
I have a pan roof and a dog and grandson - so black it is. If I didnt have the pan roof and didnt have other users of the car, I would go lighter - but probably amber rather than blonde.

Although I didnt end up with a Volvo so inside options were black grey or red - and with a matador red exterior the black looks best, in my opinion.

PS you havent mentioned which model - or have I missed something??

So what colour is your Audi. ? Trouble is manufacturers don’t offer a wide enough palette from which to choose.

I do like your SQ5 but my wife prefers Volvos. But by god it’s a temptation.

Matador red, very like the XC60 metallic red. See pic below. Available choices are getting worse. I chose this because it and a nice blue are all Audi did that wasn't black grey or silver - and I have had a couple of blue cars before...

I don't have a wife to interfere so it was what I wanted. The Audi is absolutely brilliant - and it was chosen as my last real chance to have a proper 6 cylinder petrol before the killjoys take over...

I might go XC60 next time though to get T8....or an XC40 T8 if they do one! Going to have to embrace electric power sometime...

Thanks for sharing that info. Is it done by one of their approved applicators?

Oh bugger. I had a test drive in an inscrption and thought the seats were fine, but then ordered the pro! Better go and test drive a pro before it's too late!

There is no xc40 T8 unfortunately. Maybe next year I was told.

I am wrong the Inscription pro on the XC60 has no impact on the seats looking at the spec. I thought it added ventilation, but thats standard
