When will yours be ready? Remind me of your spec again..... Still no news on mine.... getting quite impatient... after ordering 24th November! :phone::phone:
Super petrol, in MC blue, Lusso interior, red calipers, flappies, 17" sport wheels, lighting upgrade. ordered 28th Dec. Cant believe it will be ready for me the end of this week, I'm delaying delivery until next week though.
 
Mine is at dealer!!! Just had an email with these pictures. Need to decide when I can pick up. Also noticed from one of the interior pics, the IP storage cubby hole is present, but I did NOT add the convenience pack. As far as I know the IP storage is part of convenience pack and recently has become compulsory with HK audio which I have (when I ordered it only required zero cost satin finish speakers). If so, I may have got convenience pack for free! Need to sort out sale of my good old 159 2.2JTS...........! Am going to be pacing for the rest of the week :blabla:

Very nice
 
Thought that yellow was a reflection from the markings on the car Park!
I can understand it being parked in a disabled bay when it was all in bandages, but come, its healthy now.:wobble:

Ha ha! It should be moved to secure storage by now hopefully. Its an Alfa and I like the yellow contrast against all dark exteriors and tinted windows, have to see it in flesh yet and will post some proper photos when I get it, possibly later this week or next when dealer gets to PDI.

Thats the first in blue with yellow calipers I have seen. Happy I ordered the same now.
Great minds think alike hu(g)h? :thumbup: Same wheels or different?
 
No, 18 inch 5 hole greys. We get a version called super sport, bit of a lesser equipped speciale, e.g. standard seats, which we don't get. 18's are standard. Also has the bright work around the window frames, which I'm hoping will brighten things up a bit further from the sides. Have gone for the sunroof too. Love a sunroof, brightens interiors no end, I have it open as often as possible. Tan interior. Heres a link to our configurator. http://carconfigurator.alfaromeo.com/en_ie/Giulia/
 
Mine's taking longer to build than originally indicated. Should have started on the 20th Jan - supposedly wk 3, then got told week 3 is the following week, then chased yesterday and its still not built. Not sure what's holding it up but it better get here for pick up on the 4th March, that's the date I've had in my head since October and its hard wired now. The annoying thing is cars are being delivered that were ordered in November and December. Grrrr.

That would be a bonus, passive entry is genuinely useful. Main plus is you don't take the key out so no chance of walking off with it in the cabin! Also the lit door handles are a sexy touch.
 
Agreed - I'm loving the passive entry. I have actively avoided it in the past, but I think that was a mistake.
Ok! just been to the dealer to sign some paperwork and took the chance to see mine in the flesh. Still in transport mode so has all the stickers and protection etc and only a few things inside work, which meant I couldn't check the display, stereo etc. But, blue with black wheels, dark window trim and tinted rears looks fabulous! Would have preferred the 7 hole sport wheels to be 18" but hey ho! The yellow calipers sets it off with a nice sporty contrast. Glad I chose this.

Interior looks pretty good with the standard tan/black cloth (could not justify more added options!). Paddles awesome, steering wheel lovely to touch. Don't have the sport pack as I preferred the black dash trim and it looks good. Only thing I would have liked are the sport aluminium foot pedals but this will be an upgrade for sure once accessories, either Alfa or aftermarket are released.

I can confirm I DO HAVE the convenience pack for free as suspected so passive entry a big yes by the looks! It appears the UK configurator was wrong when I ordered, possibly to the benefit of the customer for once :devious: . The HK speakers look good on the door. This suggests there is physical connection between HK audio and convenience pack, perhaps to do with additional ambient lighting or the wiring loom as someone said earlier.

Picking it up hopefully on Wednesday next week which gives me 4 days of trials before flying out on half term holiday and am sure I will be itching to get back :biglaugh: . All in all, quite happy and excited to get my hands on it next week and post some proper driving / usage feedback. Happy days! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
5 sleeps 'till Christmas day.
 
2 sleeps for me... arranged for Wednesday morning. Have booked the day off! :biglaugh:
I'd do the same, but I'm a bit busy in work, need to be busy to pay for the car!! Exciting isnt it?

PS, got an agreed sale on the Brera too!
