The CS-S delivery thread

[phope]

The cars are painted not in batches of colours, but instead different colours are painted in sequence as they pass through the automated spray booths...you can have a red car followed by white, followed by black, all painted by the same robotic sprayer

The biggest issue will be having just enough individual colour paint for one car set up in the robotic sprayer, when 99% of the cars ordered are the standard colours - I hate to imagine the amount of paint each paint shop goes through daily

Just noticed that the mats in Vipers are plain black rather than the lovely GTI branded items in the CS Ed 40, still better than the press release which said no mats

Amazing ... there's a surprise - would have been nice to get CS-S parafanalia but it looks like all the extras are for CS 40 owners

No spare.

I need to talk to the dealer as I appear not to have a towing eye or wherl cap hook or anything.

Had seen pics of another UK car pre delivery and it had red bound mats still in the wrapping in the boot area
Will have a look for pics

When they can switch colours from car to car with a short purge of the spray lines, then there really is no justification in charging 2 grand for a non-standard paint colour as the interruption to the production process will be minimal. The Golf could use a more diverse palette, it is quite dull right now - hopefully the colours getting discontinued in the facelift will be getting replaced rather than making the choice even narrower.

I've kept the red bound mats in the bag for preservation.

Good idea!

On another note the ECOTY 2016 video will be released soon so that will be fun to watch.

Towing eye may be worth while if you don't get the tyre foam stuff either?  If not I am surprised the car can leave a VW dealer without something to help in the event of a puncture, no matter how good or bad they are whether its space saver or tyre foam. If you get/need a spare I guess it will need to be secured someway or another.

You'll need a towing eye for the marshals to extract you from a gravel trap anyway.
