Title: Standard GTI build week 48 - facelifted or not?
Post by: flashp on 09 November 2016, 16:01
Hi all, I have one of these coming on lease and it's build is due to be week 48. Is this going to catch the facelift revisions do you think?
I thought so but thought I'd ask all the same  :wink:

Is there any concrete info around on what these revisions are going to include?

Thanks.

No it won't be a facelift, I don't even think the gti gtd or R will get the facelift straight away. Will will know a bit more tomorrow though.

On sale from Feb so no chance your BW48 will catch it

I'm guessing this is why VW did this stupid cheap GTI deal. Get rid of stock parts ready for production of facelift GTI. My build weeks is also 48

Those that mean they start taking orders in February or delivery for February?

If it is delivery in February then how long before will they start making them? My dealer said that my car should be delivered by the end of February or beginning of March. The car wasn't ordered(by the dealer) Tuesday this week when I changed the colour to tungsten sliver. Only found that out today.

I'm getting a bit worried now as I have ordered a load of stuff for the car including a Miltek exhaust, hatch pop thingy, rear indicator strobe thing, the iphone holder for the cubby box and some other small stuff.

New model goes into production February with first deliveries expected in April. Build week 48 of this year will be the same spec as every other MK7 built this year and will not be getting any changes relating to the facelift.
