Just Got My Build Week!

[CARMAD KEV]

Ours arrived at the port on Friday 25th and the dealer emailed today to say it had left the port this morning and was on it's way to them.

Crewe VW is the dealer.

Booked in for delivery Wed 6th.

Hope the delivery driver doesn't damage it on his 220 mile journey to Glasgow.

Handover arranged for tomorrow, so nearly there. Clear day too, so off for a runout to my favourite biker cafe for a greasy lunch to celebrate! 

Hard work starts then, to get the car clean and get some protection on.

So, I received my stage 6 arrived in the uk text on the 25th March, dealer was hopeful car would arrive this week, that never materialised, then this morning I receive another stage 6 arrived in the uk text, phone VW customer services but they are closed, slightly peed off with it now

You should have your car by now, they are having a laugh sending you 2 stage 6 texts

Having a laugh is putting it mildly 

I've had a chat with VW customer services who were quite helpful, they chased the dealer up as they couldn't get the info they needed as the dept is closed on a Saturday, the dealer called me within 5mins of me speaking to VW and apparently the car is currently sat on a transporter and is due for delivery on Monday, nobody could explain why I had a 2nd stage 6 notification but it's no big deal as long as the car is where they say it is.

I had exactly the same yesterday - exactly 7 days after my first stage 6 text I got another! I called the dealer and she said that it's definitely in the country and she'll let me know when it's on the transporter. However......I went stage 7 this morning!!

I don't think even VW know where it is

I also received 2 Stage 6 text messages - think the text system is fooked!

My car has finally arrived and well worth the wait. Anyone with missgivings about collecting their car "in the wraps", as I did, have no fear. This is what my car looked like after gently pulling away the taped on and elasticated sheeting and wiping away the wax crayon writing on the windscreen with a little WD40:



The car is not clean and there is glue residue etc. where the tape was, but it is good enough to wait a few days until I've got time to do a proper job. The sheets that cover the bonnet and hatch are really quite elaborate, held on with loops and elasticated edges, but none of them are difficult to remove safely. Best of all, the car has arrived home with no scratches or swirls!

Looks great. Really does. More pics to follow we all hope.

I suggested ours just has the wraps removed and stickers removed and is not washed but was told this was not possible as they had to properly wash and inspect for damage/scratches etc.

Told them not to *uck upthe paintwork and tell the valeting manager i am a fussy *ucker and would be looking out for swirl marks etc.

 Fingers & toes crossed!!!!!!!!
