There can also be delays on the Factory -> Emden transit leg.  Mine has been stuck at that stage for over 3 weeks now. I was a BW28 and not likely to get my car until well into September.  :cry:

JJH, 4 is the minimum.  It's actually 4-6 but they tend to quote 4 because they know we're pissed as it is. :whistle:

My dad's car took less than 2 weeks, with some help from the dealership. Past experience has shown that it takes 7 - 10 days to get to the UK once it is finished (it's a 24 hour voyage to Sheerness/Port of Tyne, but it generally sits at Emden a week waiting for a ship), and the rest is at dockside in the UK, waiting for VW to deliver it to the dealership. If you're close to the recieving dock, as I am then perhaps the dealer can pull a few strings to get it picked up.

All GTI/Ds get the same trim of Titan black.  It's not referring to the seats so don't worry.

With a delay like that between Wolfsburg and Emden, i'd be worried that it might've had a prang and been sent back for repairs. My dad's was Emden dockside a day after sign off at the factory (and sat there a week or so).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I'm hoping it's due to my car being completed late (during shutdown) and there simply being no transport to Emden during the period after build. But your theory about transit damage had crossed my mind and I'll certainly be worried if status doesn't change in the next few days now the BW32's are coming through...

If that image of the factory is representative of the real thing then no wonder build dates are taking so long. They're probably still making cart wheels in there.
