I havent heard anything either.  This time now being the last couple of weeks before i'm due to pickup is worse than ever!  Knowing that my car is built and somewhere between Wolfsburg and my dealer.  I reckon that ship is going to be full of all our GTI's.  I hope they set aside the first class area.

Just when I'm trying to tell myself to relax and wait patiently for an update, I had a call from the insurance company asking when they can have the reg number for the GTI.. Someone upstairs is having a chuckle at my expense  :laugh: :laugh:

No word from me guys- anyone else heard anything ?

 :cry: I don't belieeeeeve it! having waited [Fairly] patiently since 29 August my car was finally manufactured two weeks ago, which got me excited again, but it's been at Emden dock since awaiting shipping. Was hoping to get it for first week in march but that's not going to happen. Come on you efficient Germans, get your finger out and get my car shipped pronto, what's the problem?!!  :angry:

Anybody know where I can get the clear plastic film for body protection? The sort of stuff you would normally use to cover large areas like the whole front, but I only want some small pieces to put on the wings behind the wheels. Tried extensive web searching but only seem to be able to find full kits.

Well I just spoke to Gemma at VWCS, my car arrived at Emden on the 18th Feb (last Thursday) - and its awaiting shipment.  She said it will be up to two weeks for it to arrive at my dealer.

My car has been there since 18th Feb as well.. I contacted the dealer today only to be told the saleman's on leave and the only other person who could give me an update was on leave until tomorrow. Have to admit I struggle with the concept that only 2 people in the entire dealership can help me but there you go... If this is a sign of things to come with VW when it comes to servicing etc, I'm not exactly filled with joy...  :sad:

dont expect good aftersales service folks cos the standard of vw staff all over the country,it seems, is pathetic. i was told mine was ready awaiting shipment 2weeks ago but instead of keeping me up to speed as to where we're up to, i've heard nothing. i dont want to harp on about the way i've been treated since august but needless to say its up there with best/worse. one thing i keep meaning to ask is if there is any complimentary insurance provided on new VWs. does anyone know?
