BW28 is perfect. That is 6 weeks after the all important BW22, so if a new option like a Heated Steering Wheel is available, you will be able to spec it as your BW won't be locked. Only gets locked 4 weeks before the confirmed BW.

Yes, hoping it does not come forward at all.  In any case I want it September on a '65 plate.

A heated steering wheel would be a novelty, it's never really cold enough here to make one a necessity. If it becomes an option whilst I'm waiting, I could be tempted  :whistle:

I really do think it is a pricing error (same price to add to a DNS equipped GT/SE), and the R price is correct for GTI/GTD/R. If the GTI/GTD orders get accepted by the factory before they realise their mistake (assuming it is a mistake) then it's their loss, not yours.

Just maybe, it is a genuine price and VW are using it to dampen enthusiasm for R while they can't make them quick enough? That assumes some would pick a GTI/GTD over an R for cheaper options rather than performance.

I think it's a pricing error too.  If it is, surely VW will have to honour that price to anyone who adds it (and has it officially accepted) before it gets corrected, as it has been advertised on the website at that price.  Consumer rights and all that - Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.

If it is a mistake, I don't think it will be long before they realise, especially with R-to-be owners asking the question of VW.


I asked the dealership 3 or 4 times is that correct pricing and they said yes! If it is incorrect It seems I have been lucky but they said they spoke to the factory who confirmed the price as well. I definitely don't understand why the R is more expensive.

The more tech on your car, the merrier. Might as well load it to the hilt. Whilst you are at it, did you know you CAN order electric seats. One or two punters have. Go on, there's nothing like an electric motor to serenely move your bum in all directions!  :laugh:

Dear Monsieur monkeyhanger:

Wipe those foul images tout suite. Nothing could be further than that. I am tall, very slim, clean shaven, full head of hair, very well groomed and very, very handsome, so I have been told by everyone.

Back to cars. Try and get your BW to become 22 or later to get the 6.5" CMS. 5.8" will not satisfy you seeing that you have a penchant for big wheels.

Is that what you put in your 'advert'  :wink:  I think it might be wasted on Monsieur MH  :grin:

It does seem a cruel twist of fate to have your build week constantly pushed back and then it finally gets built just before BW22  :sad:
