 :sad:

My car is scheduled the first week of April and I ordered it mid December...

Today I was inquiring about xenon...planning yes or no to order it (f&cking expensive)...
The dealer told me he would get back on it but he knew almost for sure that my car was by now "definite"....meaning no more possibilities for extras.

I thought to read on this forum that even 5 weeks before this was possible. :undecided:...is my dealer talking :sick:

In the UK its about 4 to 5 weeks before the build week when the order goes to locked for production, at this point the factory is picking the parts for production so you cannot change anything. I added a couple of things to mine at the start of January and it was locked last week, for build week 6.
