New GTI Order and build week

[Cliff_944]

Go for the xenons and never mind the acc....or bite the bullet and go for the ED35....

Agreed!  Xenons work really well down dark lanes. With a good set of wheels, the rear LEDs and the front LED with daytime running lights make the car look the business!

Cool    

Hopefully its a bit quieter after the march rush but after build week it goes something like this:-

Then its 'wait to hear if it has been built week'.  Then its 'wait for it to get to the port week'.  Then its 'wait at the port week 1'.  Then its 'wait at the port week 2'.  Then its 'wait for it to be shipped to the dealer week'.  Then its 'wait for dealer to pre and do the paper work'.  Then 'nervous breakdown if I don’t get it right now' week.  Then its 'big smiles all week'.    

I'm still smiling now - best car, for me, ever, period...

Oh I look forward to 'nervous breakdown' week and hope the big smiles week is not too far behind. Seems to be a lot of work goes into getting the car made then to the uk. I am still waiting for the dealer to confirm it is being built, guess i should give them a couple of days before I chase them.

You could use customer services as they seem to know more than the dealer.  Also they are easier to ring for updates. Theyre on 0800 0833 920 and you need a commission number which you can obtain from your dealer.

Just to add to Cliff's comments...yeah phone your dealership and ask for the comm number and if your worried about your dealer getting funny then phone them on his day off as anyone shud be able to give you your comm number and if they ask why you want it just say you would rather bother vw cust serv for updates than bother your dealer 24/7...

That's what I did anyways!!!

Good Luck!!

Getting excited now. The car is at the dealership this weekend and going to see it and sort out my trade in Tuesday. Hopefully have it by next weekend.

It's been a long three months since I ordered but seeing some of the waiting times others have to wait I feel very fortunate.

[Mr GTD]

By the time you drive her off the forecourt next weekend the waiting will be a distant memory....look forward to the pics

Hope the weather stays like this for you, you'll be absolutely buzzing!!!!!

I had that thought.

I have not paid for any extras so the edition 35 would be a few grand more.

There is an ED35 in Battersea Lookers 30K and its yours
