Chris (mcmaddy): If another change would get Pulman their sales money a few months quicker then I think Mick would be up for it, although he'll probably wish you hadn't changed in the first place. Right now he might not be aware you've been given a week 34 build if he's patiently waiting for next week before chasing up again.
Nothing else out there that you could get quickly ticks all the boxes that the GTD/GTI does, unless you like BMW 1 series styling and don't mind paying out a lot in options to get the spec up.
It would be good for the statisticians amongst us to tabulate order date against week build quoted (for those of us that have pestered VW UK) with ticky boxes for certain options like ACC and sunroof to see if there is a pattern in later builds for those options. I can't see some of the options like satnav causing delays as they're standard equipment or just as likely to be ordered on any model of Golf.
For me the sunroof is a delay on all models - VW seem to have difficulty in sourcing the parts and they'll probably all be built down 1 specific line - it's expensive for what it is.
ACC won't be a big seller for those Golfs not coming with big wheels. It's an expensive option that gives the biggest comfort benefit for those on 18/19" wheels. These are the 2 options (maybe also the Pearl white paint or PP on the GTIs) that I would expect to delay the build. Anyone care to do the maths?
