Week 36 arrived... But

[Brenbo]

I would insist on a new wheel as well.  If you are parting with that much cash for the car the least they can do is be professional about it and order a new wheel.  I was build week 36 as well and my car is still in transit, only built last week so you are lucky to get yours now anyway. Oh how I envy you.   Don't accept the fobbing off he is giving you with the demo wheel, insist on a new one.

The only reason they should have for trying to get out of ordering a new wheel is that they missed it at PDI, the PDI is now signed off and a new wheel is at their cost. Tough for them, but they shoukd let you loose with what you have and get a replacement wheel ordered for fitment later.

I agree with Monkey Hanger.  However they go about it, it should not be at your cost to replace the wheel and like wise they should replace it with a new one.  If it were my car in the situation, I would haggle and insist on a new one to replace the scuffed wheel.  Once you drive off the forecourt the implications will change as to who is responsible for paying for the new wheel.  Get them to agree to replace it with a new one before you drive off the forecourt.

Thanks everyone. Meant to be collecting tomorrow and I've said if it isn't immaculate I won't be taking it.
They've promised a new wheel and tyre and insisted it will be the same brand etc.

If they let me down there will be a fall out and I really don't want that; but at 26k for a golf I expect it to be perfect.

Hope it all goes as planned for you.  Best of luck and enjoy the car
