Many thanks!

Looks lovely thronetm, perfect colour and wheel combo. 


And welcome Acegadget, you’ll (hopefully!) love yours too. Mine makes me smile every time I get behind the wheel even if it’s just a boring trip.

Had an update from the dealer yesterday.. Gone from unconfirmed BW 41 to 30. Still poor considering i ordered Feb 1st but i’ll take the good news.

Looking like a trip to the dealers.

That’s good to get bw 30. I ordered in 3rd week of April, had an order number straight away already at stage 2 as they repurposed an existing one, all seemed fine, but then had two texts in last week (Wednesday and again today) to tell me it had moved to stage 2, both times reset/lost colour so looked like it had reset/restarted....so I tried to remove the car from myvw U.K. and add it back again to see if made a difference - and now it won’t recognise the order number at all so might have disappeared completely

Keyless, switch it off!

After you've gone through having to remove a key from its tinfoil bunker, what is the point of keyless entry?

If you don't have the tinfoil bunker and leave it switched on, you are just waiting for some a-hole to steal it - easily!

Do the new keys not switch themselves off like Skodas do when they’ve been stationary for a few minutes?

A gentleman thank you I will disable it. Not hard to use the key anyway!!! 😂

I've got it turned on actually. It's perfectly safe because it doesn't work

Yesterday, I saw another ClubSport on the road for the first time since getting mine in March.  It was in Atlantic Blue with Richmonds.  It looked nice but not a colour I would choose personally as I felt a lot of the details were lost in it.  Granted, it could've done with a wash, but I still feel it would have to be perfectly clean and close up to really appreciate the details.
