Good news brenbo  :laugh:

No news on mine yet
Just hold in there mate, it will be worth it no matter how long the wait ends up being.  I will post pics as soon as I get some...  or should I say as soon as I manage to clap eyes on it for the the first time.  It has been so long I almost forgot I ordered a car.  Out of interest which golf and spec have you configured "Kelvyn29"?

Yeah ive just extened the lease on the ST until beg oct, shame as we are doing a trip to wales on Monday for a week & would have been a nice run in period for the GTi.

My spec was
GTI
Pure White
3 Door
Manual
Performance Pack
90% Tint
Dynaaudio sound pack
Reverse Camera
Car-Net Connect app

Whats your spec?

@ Kelvyn29:  the spec of the car I have on order is as follows

Golf R
Oryx White
19" Pretoria Alloys
DCC
Dynaudio
Nav Pro
Climate Windscreen
Advanced Telephone Prep
Car Net App Connect
Carbon Mirror Caps
Winter Pack
Rear View Camera
Rear Side Airbags
5 Year Warranty
Service Plan...

... and a Boot Liner.

I currently own a GTI PP with similar spec to one you have on order.  I can guarantee it is an amazing car.  I am coming up to 3 year's ownership next month so felt like a change to a Golf R to see what the hype was about.  The GTI PP is a fantastic car you will enjoy it when you finally get your hands on it.  If I had not ordered my Golf R I would happily stick with my current car (GTI PP) until the MK8 was released.

@ Aidey:  How long did it take to go from Stage 6 to Stage 7 on the tracker?  Is it the predicted 10 days or is it much quicker for the car to be delivered to the dealer in reality?

@Bennbo Nice car, friend has something very similar.
Yes looking forward to a change had Fords all my life as a daily car


Mines just gone to stage 5.

Your car has been built and has now left the factory. On average it takes 4 weeks from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.


Does it really take 4 weeks to arrive?

From personal experience, It can take around 4 to 5 weeks, but if you are lucky you may get it quicker.  I can confirm the car I have on order has taken around the 4 to 5 week mark and I still have not seen it yet.  As a rough guide, apparently my Golf R was built at beginning of August dependent on whom I should believe.  It is now well in to September, still no sign of it but it is getting very close.  The speed you get your car can depend on your dealers allocation as well. 

@GeoBog:  My Order went to In Transit last Week and it is now showing "In The UK awaiting Clearance and Transportation". On this Stage it claims it can take 10 days to get to the Dealer.  I so hope this is not the case.  I am sure it was far quicker than this last time at this stage. 

As stated earlier going in to pay for the car on Friday and hopefully there is a slim chance it will be there on Friday.  But I suspect it will not be the case and car will not reach the dealer until next week.

Hi Kelvyn

Just to update you, the car is now in transit to Emden port for shipping to UK.

As soon as it arrives we can produce the finance documents.

No worries mate, can come in to exeter just for you to have look around if you like. Excitement really starting to kick in now.  Also managed to reduce the price another couple hundred quid and get premium mats thrown in, awesome :smiley:
