Not that uncommon TBH, one of my best mates works at the Cowley mini plant and his job is respraying bits of cars that are not right when they come off the line. Think there's about 3 of them that work all the time the factory is running and do double figure number of cars every day.

Some are just single panels but on some colours they have to repaint whole sides or whole cars. They are sent out as new cars and delivered to customers as such.

Not to mention the 5 or so guys off the line removing dents, as well as the 3 or so on the line carrying out small paint corrections with rattle cans and brushes :lipsrsealed:

Got a call from my dealer today and told me i can have my replacement car by christmas! :shocked:

He told me there's one just come thru unsold that i can have in a couple of weeks.

Eh! Totally shocked, thats 2 days since i ordered it :shocked:

Smells a bit fishy to me or unless he's robbed it from someone who's being waiting 4 months.

Anyone waiting for a white GTI with 18" monza shadows?

Yes will do when it's exchanged for the new one. Will also name the dealer and location for evryone to avoid.

Anyway why did you get rid of your GTI 'CARL1'

i was not using it as i brought a house that needed  a total refurb and it was just stuck on the drive as i was working on house all the time as im a builder, so i stuck it on pistonheads with the attitude that if it goes it goes and it did  :cry: So after thinking about changing car for somthing more sensible as i also now have a new born ive come to the conclution that only the golf is for me in some form or other,so im on the look out for either mk5gti, ed30, mk5 r32, mk6 gti or maybe the new R
