Long time away from the forum & a new GTI ordered!

Door Sill Trim – Steel with GTI lettering

Is this a new option?  Would be interested in a retrofit if they do branded ones now!

I've ordered mine recently. Pure White 3dr PP manual with DCC, Dynaudio, Discover Satnav, Winter Pack, Park Assist, High Beam Assist, Keyless and Rear Camera. I've not got a BW yet but in answer to your question on Spotify my understanding is you can play it through Bluetooth or with the media cable. It won't let you scroll through albums or playlists but will show track info and allow you to ff/rw.

Hi Dave, nice spec you've ordered!  Thanks for the info on Spotify, it seems feature limited but at least it will work.

If you have Bi-Xenon headlights the only extra with the Winter Pack is heated seats.

The Bi-Xenon headlights are standard aren't they?  At least according to the VW website...

They will be a nice upgrade to my crappy candle-in-a-jam-jar headlights on my Mk5.  They are woeful.

My car was due late December/early January but the dealer phoned me yesterday to say that the car is due to begin production at the start of October and due to be delivered around the very end of October.

Nice...

Thats quick, I bet your well pleased. Ordered mine 6th August and still saying late November delivery.  Pure PP with Dynaudio, why the difference in delivery I wonder ?

Dealers have quotas for production slots. Your dealer may have used up their Oct allocation. Mine was ordered Mid July.

So I finally got my build date, it's the week commencing 26/10/14.

I'm not sure how long it will take until it arrives, I'm guessing late November?

Sounds about right although watching loads of build date threads when I was waiting on mine, it wasn't too uncommon for folks cars to be at the dealers 2 weeks after the build date.

It gets built and loaded on to the train reasonably quickly, the stumbling part seems to be if it makes the boat or not as it can sit about for a few weeks.

So the website tracker updated me this morning to say that the car had reached the UK and estimates it takes 10 days to reach the dealer.

Around lunchtime I get a e-mail from my dealer with a link to a video showing the car being dropped off and a little guided tour.  That was a nice surprise!

I guess the tracker is around a week out of sync...
