Just need some advice from you chaps!
I was supposed to pick up my GTI this lunch. I am really looking forward to this as I waited more than four months for the car. Unfortunately I cannot accept the car as one of the option I specified on the order form was missing :angry:---the luxury pack. I need the folding mirrors as my garage is just 2010cm wide!
Spoke to the sales manager and he rung up VW tech and was told the mirror cannot be retrofitted. The salesperson then called me later said one of the tech guy had done one on a Scirroco. They will transfer the folding mirror from one of the demonstrater to mine! They are also happy to discuss compensation!  :undecided:
I am happy that they are trying their best to help me to deliver the car I wanted. But I am a bit worried that they are trying something that is not recommended by Vw UK.

Really appreciate some help and advice here!
What should I look out for to make sure they fitted it properly?

ha ha ! I have folding mirrors and you dont.

Just kidding, hope you get it sorted.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

 :wink: I hope its just the entrance door of your garage you have to have the mirrors folded in for or how will you get the door open  :grin: or is that why you went for a hatch.  :grin: :evil:

Sorry to hear about the build problems i myself could not trust them to fit them but thats just me. Hope you come to some solution your happy with with them.

I'd take their offer.

You'll have waited a while for the car and yes, you want it like you specc'd but if it can be sorted and yout something like [already posted] a deal on servicing then that's a bonus.

Got my car at last! :smiley:
I am glad that they manage to retrofit the luxury pack.
They have been very apologetic thru the whole saga
I am satisfied with what they offer to say sorry
1. A written garanteed for the door mirror
2. Didn't charge me for fitting the Fiscon and retrofitting the luxury pack(Parts and labour)
3. Free bootliner and the proper GTI mattress
Will zymol the car this weekend (If weather stay dried) and take some pictures!

Did 10 miles so far. It is a very quiet and comfortable car on normal setting. Will tried the sport setting this weekend!
