Hey nice spec, one of my office chummies has just ordered the limestone an unusual choice I wanted that but the mrs wouldn't let me! God I wished I had the keyless now, 3 years with a keyless car to go back is literally going backwards.

Welcome, lots of useful information on here.

Those lead times are certainly coming down, not so long ago it was 6-8 months, if not longer!

Hi Everyone, another newbie joined today..

Suklpm, you might be surprised and get yours quicker than quoted, i ordered my GTI on week 51 and mine is 'in transit' likely to be at the dealer week 10. I was quoted 16 weeks when i placed my order which would have been week 15.

Tracker says "with the factory" so no build number as yet. It is showing upholstery as Titan black which can't be right.... Should I do anything?

I think this is normal from what i've read. I've gone with the standard cloth GTD trim and mine also says Titan Black. My dealer told me it will come with the grey chequered trim as per the GTD. It may be just the generic the factory uses.

Edit: spelling

Yes, I think every one with the standard tartan seats has/had 'Titan Black' showing on their tracker. Nothing to be concerned about :smiley:

Mine says titan black too and i've ordered leather. The brochure lists titan black as the trim colour referring to the door cards and lower dash, carpets etc.

Mine has arrived in the UK today - a week away from the dealer, thats about 7 weeks early !

Titan black is what they all say.

Titan black is normal, it's to do with the trim, not the seat material.

Jimmy and others are right - its another little 'issue' with the (far from perfect) tracker. The description should be 'Trim colour' and not 'Upholstery' and even if they got it right its standard anyway and hardly as useful as noting say, your selected options...  :rolleyes:

By the time its reached the dealer, then it usually takes them a week to turn it around in terms of pdi etc it going to be the 7th March - and unfortunately i'm away that weekend, so what with that and other commitments its going to be the 15th for collection i reckon.
