I have information and the message from internal vw showing exactly where and how to fit the limited edition plaques and it is only 1000 units this plaque is the one they are used, they say that once the build has a bin number the numbered plaques get automatically issued and sent out to the supplying dealers, 100% 1-1000 and numbered car

Are you able to share this info, where it is going, right hand side glove box area?

Lovely photos miromen, looks cracking. Congrats!

Has anyone had any update regarding build dates or anything yet…? I was told to wait till the 1st of may for the system to be “most up to date” but I am inpatient, and I’m still waiting to hear back from my dealer for anything regarding what’s the hold up with a confirmed build date, because if it was alloys holding it up I’d happily change to get the car quicker,  :cool:

Stock answer but a blast of WD40 or similar release agent could do it. Might be compacted grime or build up of dust at a guess.

Golf mk8 / Stuck cup holder
« Last post by Colh on Today at 09:09 »
Anyone any idea how to release a stuck cup holder in the centre console?

Locked open and there’s no play in the button.

Tried sliding a piece of thin plastic behind to sweep out any debris but no luck.

I have to say that in reality, the moss green color is really great with a lot of depth and is hard to capture. It is strange and unusual with a luxurious touch.
However, it has one disadvantage and that is that it is impractical. King red was much better in this regard.


Impractical? Presumably by that you mean it shows the dirt more than a Kings Red car would. Moss Green will be no different to any dark(ish) coloured car in that respect and IMHO it looks great when it’s clean. It will be a bit like looking after a black car though which IMHO is a labour of love keeping it looking good.

If it was my car I’d either get it ceramic coated or if you’re ’old school’, periodically apply a couple of layers of a good wax or sealant to make it harder for the dirt to stick to the paintwork and make it easier to wash when it does get dirty. And be sure to use a safe wash technique to avoid inflicting swirls on the paintwork as swirls do show up on dark coloured cars when it’s sunny.

Here in Jersey, around £1700, and those aren’t main dealers.

What are garages quoting for this work these days? I might be looking to get mine done as preventative work in the not so distant future.

Got the overpriced work items on my service report - they didn’t bother going through it just handed an envelope. 

Rear wiper blade - £17.40
2x Michelin tyres £235 each (ordered from JustTyres for £238 the pair instead)
Regas aircon £141
Front diff oil change - marked as urgent but no price and not mentioned when I picked it up

Didn’t do any investigation into the constant bongs that I asked about.  Thankfully they’ve eased off lately.

Not getting any of that extra work done by them anyway.  To say they couldn’t be bothered is an understatement.

I thought the standard exhaust was gloss black..??

It is. But that’s just covered in grime.
