has anyone got a build date for the golf R yet?

So, we've seen pictures of the R in red, white, black, silver, grey and rising blue, but not blue graphite or shadow blue - next challenge for you SilverChariot?

Ha... well the "demonstrator" I'm trying out soon is blue graphite. So, nearly the complete set.

Shadow blue, only problem its a crap picture.

Snoopy,

That Shadow Blue looks though it could be excellent. I do hope you'll manage to get another pic or two. What were your impressions in the flesh? Is it a colour that suits the car or that says it's worth £34K+?

Thanks.

Look at the number plate and the writing behind the car.  Snoopy didn't take that photo - so I doubt he can comment on what it looks like in the flesh.  I'm pretty sure I originally linked that photo from motor-talk.de about a month ago?

wow... get on to www.volkswagen.de and try and configure a Golf R.  You get a choice of about 30 colours now... with about 10 of them being different shades of blue!!

as above :
The initial 2 weeks is now up so we should be hearing soon about build dates/ confirmation of orders.
Has anyone heard yet?

Mine was supposed to be build week 2. Now it is build week 9.
Any later and I am going going to book myself into the Degnitas Clinic in Switzerland for assisted suicide! Sadly, this might be my last post! My family might sue VW if this happens. Good luck to them. This might expidite the build date and they will at least get the GTi ASAP !

Take a note pad too... I'll be looking for a review 

Me dealer told me their sister garage had a demonstrator, and that they'd be getting it for a while... so I'm just waiting to find out when!

I've got some photos. Will be post them and short reivew tonight.

In short, I won't be cancelling my order.

PCP finance figures were very disappointing and my build week is now unconfirmed BW13.
