Brilliant news. You'll have it soon!

I ordered mine a week ago. Tracker is telling me its with the factory. So I'm looking forward to those text updates!

So jealous!

A question for those waiting for 65 plates... Is it not an issue then if your car arrives there in August? Is it just a case of telling them to hold onto it until it can be registered as a 65 plate?

I know it doesn't make a massive deal in the long run but I guess I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of weeks to get a 65 plate if it's available. It'll be a brand new car so I may as well go for the newest plate!

Well I was going to ask the dealer to hang onto it till Sept 1st but since the inevitable build week slip that will not be necessary 

If you're car is delivered to dealer in August you should definitely be asking them to keep it till the '65 plate.

BW34 is how is currently stands.  It's been back and forth, all over the place - weeks 28-24-48-29-34    If it stays at week 34 it should turn up towards end Sept.  I ordered back on 29th Jan so it will ultimately be a long, long wait.  I hope I like it 

You enjoying your R JB GTI?

Absolutely loving it  Initially even though I knew what I was buying into I was a little concerned with the mpg but it has improved over 3k and now seeing an average in the low 30's of mainly short distance stuff so happy with that and it doesn't seem to be badly affected when I press the "Idiot" button and blast off farting into the horizon 
I have just started to get the dreaded knocking from the back end at low speeds but it is very intermittent and  not spoiling my enjoyment of the car. I will keep my eye on it to see if it develops further. Having said that the Dynaudio is nicely bedded in now and easily drowns out any unwanted noises so that's a bonus 
Fingers crossed for your build date to stabilise otherwise we will be having  " Monkeyhanger II " scenario on our hands !!

Oh no, not Monkeyhanger II 

Really does sound like you're having a blast in it.  To hell with the mpg!  Low 30's sounds very respectable, I don't even get that in my current Mk6 GTI     And If in doubt, whack up the volume.  Seriously I hope the rear knock doesn't turn into a nightmare shocks problem

I have just received my phase 3 text - build week confirmed for w/c 29th June 2015.

Doesn't feel too bad, given that I ordered on 24th April 2015.

(GTI, PP, White, 19")

Well done - you're lucky to get it that quickly.  Ordered mine Dec 14 arrived April 15 so 4 months.  It was worth the wait .  After the build week (14), mine took another 2 weeks so you should get it around w/c 13th July if that's anything to go by.
