Dealer phoned Germany and sent a fax or at least he told me that.
He was told as soon as it has been issued with a build week it is basically allocated to the factory along with the spec it is to be built to and is literally frozen in the system.
With a couple of thousand cars a week going through their system / factory they are unable to change any orders without unfreezing them first which means the car comes out the slot it has been allocated to and you then have to start again with a new order.
The only way to jump the queue is if the dealer already has a car waiting to be allocated without a buyer then you can be allocated that one as long as its not got a build date. Unlucky for us the golf is proving to be popular so every car already has a buyer!!
My extras were an after thought.
Storage I can probably do without as it just encourages me to collect more junk. Heated seats I've never had so can't miss. Well that's my reckoning anyway
