I'm still really peeved about the wheels! In fact I've just been looking at all the photos on here with the black and telling my wife how I'm annoyed I can't have them and they really set the car off........she's fed up of hearing me go on

Ha ha ha! I'm sure you'll be made up with grey once you see them tomorrow.

I don't think my wife will still be here if it gets delayed again...

Haha yes indeed, the DS3 has served me well to be fair. Still seems like a go-kart so I'm not sure how I'll react to 180BHP Started as a Graduate so was all I could afford back in 2012!

I'm looking at the getting the rear spoiler fitted from my dealer. Does anyone know how much this costs?

@jumpsuitelvis what spec have you ordered? Just trying to figure out why yours keeps getting delayed. You got me paranoid so I rang the Mercedes Corporate Services helpline this morning to double check my delivery date was the 28th and they confirmed it was

Just the standard c200 AMG line. I wonder if it's the premium plus package causing the delAy? I also ordered in July.

Thanks, no it's polar, I debated long and hard over which White to get. My e92 was metallic mineral white and I loved it but the MB diamond White is just a little too creamy for my liking.

Wow - stunning. I've settled on the Polar, but wasn't too sure about the 19s..... Now I'm not too sure.

Enjoy.

Angry

As I expected and as other UK customers have experienced, my delivery has been delayed yet again.

I'm now told it will be "sometime in mid December" before my car arrives, instead of 27th November.

The dealer can see no reason for the delay and contacted Mercedes UK for an explanation. Apparently its down to shipping delays from South Africa to the UK.

Trying to be philosophical about it and be patient but its really annoying that a company like Mercedes, who project a premium supplier image, can be so shoddy and amateur when it comes to the execution of their core business.
