First GTI
« on: 30 May 2017, 20:53 »
Hi All,
Old man here who ordered a GTI in April and still awaiting build confirmation!!!! Indium grey with Brescia Alloys
My first ever GTI  of any make but did used to own 5 GT Turbo & 21 Turbo many moons ago.
Why does waiting take so long!!!
Will be interested if I'm caught up in "Fog gate"
Pics will follow when it arrives.
Thoughts on this anyone!!! http://www.detailyoureyecandy.co.uk/GTECHNIQ

Not sure what you class as old.. I'm 38 and never had a GTI/hot hatch so looking forward to my Indium Grey GTI arriving next month. Apparently my build is week 23 and so should miss the fog gate issue. Will wait and see, only ordered it 11th May so not too long wait wise.

Is your build week confirmed? If so how many weeks ago was it confirmed

Mine is coming via a broker as its leased but the supplying dealer has confirmed build week 23 for late June delivery. Can't wait....
