Can I change my spec?
« on: 25 December 2009, 20:12 »
I have a golf R ordered and as far as I've heard a comission number...
No build date as far as I know...

Do you think I can change my order from a 3dr to a 5dr?
If I can will it possibly delay the build date?

Any advice appreciated, thankyou
Golf R (on order): 5dr, rising blue, 19", sat-nav, ACC, parking sensors, Bluetooth tel prep, cruise control, Lux pack, storage pack, rear airbag/seatbelt sensors..........BW07 confirmed Can't wait!

You can normally change your order spec upto around 5 weeks before the build week date as from then its locked for production.
Changing from a 3 door to a 5dr on such a low volume model as the R maybe a little more complicated. Best to phone your dealer and ask.

Can I ask why?
You, like me have been saying that 3 doors looks better for months...
Why suddenly change to 5 doors?!

3 doors does look better! but I just found out my wife is pregnant..
I'm sure I'd be ok with 3drs but as I want to keep the car for 3yrs I think it would be easier with 5drs?
Any parents out there? Is a 3dr car easy to live with, with children??

Lol, congratulations :cool: You have done the right thing: we have 7 kids and having experimented with 3-door cars in the past, I can promise you it's a nightmare. There's no better way to put your back out than load a baby/child into the back seat of a 3-door car :grin:

Congrats!

We have a now 10 month old girl and live with a 3 door Edition 30, just put an order in for another 3 dorr GTi mk6 too.

You can manage, and to me the 3dr looks so much better but we do have a Volvo Estate company car too, so it is a bit easier to live with when we need it to be.
