Just got off the phone with VWUK to ask if there was any particular reason why my order has now gone to BW40? The answer was "all the GTI's will be allocated bw's together"
I told him that i know of a few that are already being built and also a few that have confirmed bw's way before mine and have ordered the same time or later, he then changed the subject to "i have about 10~15 calls a day with the same sort of question" and "he" puts it down to the GTI being so popular!
He couldn't give me a straight answer apart from you can't order any colours other than those available in the UK.
I ask ya, what a bunch of numpties!!
Oh well, the wait continues......
