Options can slow it down, but often no difference.

Or keep the original red finish ones? Definitely sounds like they are low on stock , they should stop them alloys from being aloud on the clubsports and R till the ED50 is out, being a special edition and wanting it launched in may/june

« Last post by arciere on 12 March 2026, 10:58 »Well, I can tell you that I ordered the stock model, no optionals, mainly because I wanted to minimise the risk of delays. I guess I should've added a thing or two, given where we are now.

I ordered a Clubsport with Warmenau Diamond Cut wheels, pan roof and Oryx white in September and it was originally quoted as due into dealer early February. As yet I still don’t even have a build date confirmation. Dealer claims the delay is due to the wheels being unavailable? Not sure I actually believe that though. Had an email from dealer yesterday apologising for the delay but unable to even predict when the car may materialise?
I read another post recently about there being supply issues with Warmenau alloys (sorry, can’t remember which forum i read it on), so maybe your dealer’s being truthful.

« Last post by jvgti on 12 March 2026, 09:41 »Has anyone else been contacted regarding anything needing changed?
Spoke to my dealership again this morning, I was told that they have spoken to the VW Sales office and that there is no way to have the Warmenau black wheels with the PP. Looks like they have updated the configurator now to reflect this.
Suppose I missed out and they have stock issues, so will be going with the Estoril instead.
