The Oryx is expensive, but it does have value.

Apart from looking cool, being almost the lone contrarian has value it itself! One of the main reasons I chose the colour was so that the car would be exceptional.

I'm sure I would have cancelled my order by now if it hadn't been for the forum - perhaps VW owes it some commission!!  :smiley:

I saw an Oryx white GTD drive past the other day - suffers the same "sheen" and appearance that I don't like in all other pearl whites I've seen on other cars.

@bear, yeah I'm pretty sure you got heated seats with leather anyway, so the winter pack only gave you the heated jets etc.

His Oryx white is gonna look top banana.

Yeah the (probably ineffective) heated jets.  For £500 was it?  I'm pretty sure one of the electronics guys where I work could design and make a couple of heated jets in about half an hour and costing £2... maybe £5 at the most.

VW :rolleyes:

£500 option for £5 at your place? Any chance of them commissioning a GTD for £259?  :laugh:

Yes the options are the biggest liberty that VW takes after build times for GTI/GTD, hence why I haven't taken any out.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Not sure on the price, don't think it was £500 on top of the leather, but still, it is a bit of a con.  Having said that, so are a lot of the options but if you want them you either pay up or work around it somehow!

Must refresh the tracker 10 times a day, when it does actually move i think my mac will have a meltdown :drool:

I might give VW a call with my order number and see what they say, not sure what number though?
