We placed an order 2 weeks ago for a customer and it is week 50 currently so I would expect an order now to arrive by March.

evo, do you know that the current lead time is on standard GTIs? I was given an SLI number on Friday but it isn't showing up on the tracker as yet. Wondering if they are more than likely to be BW45 or later.

If it's not showing on the tracker page then it's only just been ordered then so will most definitely be built after BW45. If it's one of the crazy lease deals then expect delivery early next year.

Something like this Exonian?




Can't quite put my finger on the reason, but that's looking a little less aggressive to me than the current model, somehow looks less angry.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Picked mine up on Friday, ordered 5th April.

Long wait, but well well worth it.

To be honest, I hope they do a Mk8 Clubsport as separate model in future, it feels more special to me than a regular GTi or R, and glad we went that way.

Agreed, I sold my R last week as I have a Clubsport on order. :cool:  They may not be the all round package an R is, but they are very special in my eyes and as you say, they are going to be rare, which the R is certainly not.  And I've got to keep my record going as I've had all the GTI anniversary models - 20th, 25th, 30th and 35th!

Will be interesting how many there are made, the fact it is not the all round packages is why it appeals.

I think like the Ed35 it took me some time to get the Clubsport was about
