Looks like Urban Silver...
Deffo doesn't look like Nevada white

Be interesting to find out mate. I’ve got a Nevada White and sometimes it looks like this in certain light conditions. Wouldn’t be betting on it though.

Sorry for late response, it's Nevada white

Seriously, that looks so different to my current Nevada white????
The 6f I have on order is also Nevada White

Nevada white is a pearl paint colour, so its look is very dependent on the lighting conditions.
My last white SEAT was the plain Bila White - more of a cream colour.
Neither of the 2 pictured above are Bila White.

I ordered an Xcelence Lux 115 manual Saturday 19th January and collected it Thursday 21st March. I understand the FR’s take an extra 2 weeks compared to the Xcelence Lux.

Ok lovely, you happy with it? Any issues?

The only issues I had was with the dealership after a string of issues
Poor updates, wrong updates, telling me the spoiler had arrived but 3 weeks later telling me it hadn't after the car arrived, forgetting to gap insurance on my financials
All got sorted in the end but shouldn't have been that stressful

No issues with the car thus far though, love it although it's taking some getting used to.
In white especially no pictures do this car justice, seeing it in the real world it looks absolutely stunning. By far the best colour in my opinion as I have seen all others in the real world.

Only ever had one car before and there's some major differences
My old car was a 66 plate Ibiza connect 1.2

This one feels so much bigger, especially on the inside
The steering feels so much heavier than the previous, would have preferred it a little lighter
Driving modes deffo do make a difference. Don't like eco at all. Normal and sport are good
I'm struggling to get smooth gear changes at the minute, especially 1st to 2nd but that's probably just a keen clutch being brand new

I'm sure I will get used to it all in time one it breaks in a bit

Love the way it feels planted to the ground, my previous did have a lot of movement around corners

One thing I am quite confused about is the front assist, I've not heard anything from it even in situations where I'd expect to and it is turned on?
Can anyone enlighten me on that?

It uses the radar in the bottom of the dash (afaik) to measure speed and distance of cars in front of you, and will slow/stop you if you're likely to hit either a car or pedestrian. VW's page about it summarises it as: Front Assist helps you prevent an accident, or at least minimise the consequences.

Hopefully not something you'll ever need to hear from, but nice to know it's there.

Euro NCAP also tests it as well:
(Video embed lost the timestamp, front assist testing starts around 2:30)
