Today I have spotted my car on We Connect.

It has three quarters of a tank of fuel and travelled a few hundred yards.

Yay!

Oh wow!

So it’s on it’s (slow way) over to UK from factory.  That is exciting. So are you expect it for mid to late March? :smiley:

It’s good the app does sometimes work, several people over on VWROC are having a nightmare trying to keep track of their R order

Oh wow it seems to have come really quickly or have I got lockdown fade and it’s been months?

I’ll be interested to hear your DCC and HUD thoughts.

Well hope you are able to get thru the weekend as going to be exciting Monday.

Washed mine,ready for new wheels tomorrow.

Think I’ve now decided to get the roof wrapped too.

Really looking forward to the pics once the wheels are on  :cool:

I quite fancy wrapping my roof too. After having an Ed40 and TCR with black roof options my Clubsport looks a bit bare!

Got the Pretoria reps fitted,and Michelin pilot sport 4s.

Vw logos haven’t arrived yet....and also didn’t realise the wheel nut covers don’t fit so must order some different ones.very pleased with the result though,think it looks better now.


Forget that...wheel nut covers do fit ....just very tight.

If you have any difficulty with the VW logos give me a shout I have a set sitting here, you can have them. I have literally just opened them. I thought they were stickers, turns out they are centre caps. 🤦🏻If you need them just let me know by direct messaging me. You are welcome to them.
