I went on carwow today just to review my quote and it says that VW have made spec changes to my model (GTi PP) and I need to refresh. Could that be the 2018 changes? VW configurator also looks different in it's layout.

Hmm what does this mean for new Golf GTD's, I've not been assigned a build week yet, do we know what changes will be implemented yet? I'm assuming mine will fall into this category then?

Yup, you'll get whatever they have decided to do next.

If they have deleted a paid for option you ordered or bundled it into the base build, you'll get a refund on that option.

If the colour you have chosen is deleted, you'll have to chose another.

Most of what they change though is penny pinching, which you won't get a say about!

Bugger, is there anyway of telling what changes they are due to make? Other than contacting VW?

Well I've been assigned a build week "Thanks for waiting. Your vehicle has a build week of 20. This is the week starting on May 14th." so that's sorted then

Something to watch out for is that build weeks can and will move by a week or two so it may be worth keeping an eye on.

From what I read on various German forums:
Diesel Engine 110kW / 150hp TDI with manual transmission will be dropped;
Petrol Engine 1.4 TSI 92kW will not be offered any more;
No more 'normal' GTI 169kW/230hp on offer, only PP
No more Golf R with manual transmission
No frameless interior mirror anymore
Dropping paint 'Ruby Black' (will anyone miss it?)  :smiley:
From the summer petrol engines will get particle filter to be made fit for the norm Euro 6c.

But Evo1986 will keep us informed in due time!

2.0 TSI 230ps (non PP GTi) discontinuation and gasoline particulate filter installation is consistent with what i've been reading on the Skoda forum, so I can definitely believe that.
