Mine is DBP, so could make sense I guess.

The demand for white is very high I suppose.

Checked tracker today and its arrived at dealer!

Good point regarding the shutdown.  I suppose when I talk about 3+ months delay it should be 2+ months...

Actually I'm not sure.  I was originally told to expect July/August delivery, so regardless of the reason a delay is a delay.  Perhaps when I collect the car I'll tell VW that I'm having a financial shut down of 4 weeks and so they I'll be delaying payment for a month.  I doubt they would consider this fair though. :evil:

Do I hear champagne corks popping?  :cool:








As for the build delays and the likelihood of the while paint issue, I do seem to remember with the Scirocco it was the actual supply of paint that caused a delay, so supplier rather than factory related. Or ordering rather then manufacturing? Or something...

Well that's 3 of the 4 earlybirds with Deep Black Pearl paint, and the 4th is Baza - anyone know what colour he ordered?
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

It's another colour that's a minority colour across the Golf range (in the UK at least), could be easy to slip into the paintshop schedule for a paint booth dedicated to that colour that may not be particularly busy.

I would be very surprised if DPB is a minority colour  :huh:

Not to confuse it further but he changed his choice.  I'm not sure what his original choice was, so might have been DBP.

I really think we are reading too much into this colour thing though. :tongue:
