Default The wait is finally over

I can't really complain. My order went in June 12 and I got the car today.
Anyway, I am so happy I got the Prestige option. Big difference on the overall appearance of the car.
I love the LED headlights and extra inside lighting.
First order of business is window tint Monday.
Haven't detected any issues yet (fingers crossed).
I will probably look at other wheels later but I'm enjoying the smooth ride on these 19s. No road noise at all on the A/S tires.
I'll get some useful pics tomorrow. It was dark by the time I decided to go home.
Here's two crappy phone shots in my garage.
The second shot shows chrome on the tops of the door handles.
I wasn't expecting that but I like it. The side of the handle is body color.
This definite beats my Lexus!!

Congratulations! Take care of it and it will take care of you.

You have chrome on the superior face of the door handles because you have the comfort access option. You only need to have your key on you(in your pocket, man purse, etc) and you just touch the handles and the car unlocks.

Thanks! That makes sense. The touch sensor should be a conductor.
May as well make it look good.

OK...Super DUH moment. I just checked and I DO have chrome. I had never noticed after owning the car for 2 months. The Havanna Black reflects off the chrome so it is barely noticeable.

Thanks guys!
I'm going to wait till the window tint is put on tomorrow before
taking decent pics of it.
I noticed last night that Audi is now using a dark grey cover over
the trunk that you see in the back window. No reflection and
helps darken the back window for a better look.
