VW.de configurator is showing the 19's in Black as an option now - may be of some interest to other R buyers/those just ordered - no idea if they'll be available in the UK however.
-
I saw a set on ebay.de about a week ago. At the time I was wondering if they were snides or maybe someone had powder coated the standard ones.

The pic on the configurator still shows them in silver :rolleyes: so I'd be reallly interested to see what they look like on a car. All pie in the sky however as no guarantee they'll be offered as an option over here, however I would certainly be considering them.

Can't find them now on ebay.de - both sets for sale must have been sold. They wanted 2500 Euros (about £1980) for a set of 4 including Continental tyres

Yes, I just had a search and couldn't see them either.
I can guarantee you I won't be paying 2 grand if it's an option :grin:

If you can't get blacks over here (i'm sure you'll be able to post BW45, you could change your order to Cadiz, pay the £2k and sell your Cadiz for whatever they go for (i'm guessing about £1100 inc tyres).

I'm too lazy to do that :grin: I'd just stick with the silver 19s. As my R will be Reflex Silver I really need to see a pic (or mock up) of how they'd look prior to speccing them anyway. Any news on a BW for yours? Mine's moved back to 9 so looks like I'm looking at an April delivery :sad:

I'm still stage 1, haven't pestered my salesman for an estimated build week, me and mcmaddy pestered him enough for our GTDs last time! :grin:

Yes, I haven't pestered mine at all either - after last time I also thought I'd leave mine alone. Saying that, a 7 month wait is a bit of a joke, so I may ramp up the calls nearer to Xmas as I get more impatient :grin:

I've asked about a BW but they don't even have a tracking number for it yet :(.
-
ChrisCav - I got my tracker number about a week after my order was placed, following an email I sent to Mick at Pulman requesting GB/EU numberplates. I've not been told of a provisional build week, and the tracker is just at stage 1 "processing order", but the order was accepted by the factory Sept 24th.
-
Hmmmm......I'll call them tomorrow then.
-
I'm unsure i'd have gotten it if I hadn't pestered him about the plates (sure he remembered what a pest I was last time after the order cock-up that saw my dad's car built 9 weeks before mine even though I was first in the allocation queue). He sent me a screen dump of the dealer system - lots of info there, port of arrival (Tyne), dealership info, tracker code, price protection code (so the impending 1% price rise doesn't affect what we pay), options ordered, colour etc. if you pm me an email address, i'll send you the screen dump (no personal info on it).
