Yikes whats going to happen to all those damaged cars if the original owners are getting rebuilds!!

BW51 guys will end up driving them? :lipsrsealed:

Nah I'm sure the vast majority are Golf SE models destined for the euro market.  Serves those German buggers right for making you lot wait so long for your cars! Heh heh :whistle:

Well I know for a fact my dealer are still taking my original GTI, they obviously know they'll have no problem selling on and its an extra GTI allocation for them effectively.

So they would be selling it as a brand new GTI with no history of what has happened to it?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

The dealer may have another GTI going spare soon if they don't get there backsides in gear and let me know for certain when I'm getting my replacement GTI (still no estimated build week yet despite asking), and what my hire car will be.  For the first time since ordering in April I've found myself considering the cancellation option and looking at alternative models today (No, not an M135i - maybe a basic spec S3? Hmmm).
