Can you post some pics so we can share in the hilarity?

My dealer said either that or an up with no central locking or electric windows.

I will try and post some pics later.

Kind of off topic, kind of not...

I previously had ordered a tornado red GTD with park assist and rear view camera.  With all the faffing about with the rear view camera and the inability of the dealer to give me a build week (ordered 26th April) I cancelled the order as I was offered a standard black stock GTD for delivery in the next week or so. The 2 options I added were only done so because of their relative cheapness so I wasn't that bothered.  However, I can't seem to see any photo's anywhere of a non metallic black GTD.   

I'm having a proper panic!  Anyone seen one, got any links?

There's a black gti on here: http://www.motors.co.uk/car-32985570/sr
I haven't looked through all the black golfs on this website so there may be others too  :smiley:

Thanks. Looks good.

Was a bit concerned as I think the tornado red is stunning and thought cancelling and swapping for black may have been a mistake. The difference being the black arriving a week on monday, the red sometime in the future, but at least 7 weeks!!

I know how you feel, I wanted the carbon grey or black but my husband wanted red. I gave in and we ordered red and had at least a 4 month wait. The dealer then found a cancelled order, red but with a sunroof, that we could have 2 months sooner. I looked at hundreds of images online but could only find one red gtd with sunroof and I didn't like it! It was taken from a strange angle and under really bright artificial light and it looked like a completely different car. I finally found better pictures on autozine.org and it put my mind at rest

I think both the gtd and gti look great in any colour  :smiley:

I went and checked mine after I saw yours dippy and thank the lord I'm the same been moved forward a week from what they last told me. Hopefully it isn't all crap and they're actually going to do it.

My BW34 standard spec Tornado Red GTD finally changed to 'In Transit' overnight!  :grin:

It'd previously been sat in 'Build in Progress' for 11 days with VW UK unable to confirm what was actually happening.

I placed my order back in April but my dealer reckons they've got over 70 more recent GTD orders that they just can't get confirmed build weeks for... crazy!

70 recent?!!?  Just from the one group?

Lets hope VW are reallocating build slots away from the EU market and towards the UK one!

Yes, I was surprised as well.  They provide a lot of company cars through lease companies so I'd imagine many of these are fleet sales.
