Clubsport order thread

[Pferdestarke]

All I’ve been told is BW10 unconfirmed which makes me think it could be status 10 unconfirmed awaiting build week. When I press the lease broker all I get is (still expected May/June). I’ve had finance approved by the funder (major lease provider) so am hopeful that I’ve been allocated a car from their allocation ordered at some point early last year.

Even with the SLI I have no hope of speaking to the supplying dealer or VW as they are inundated with such requests.

Had an email from my dealer informing me that mine has is at stage 10 (unconfirmed build week) and is pencilled for BW19 (second week in May). This doesn’t sound a lot but I’ve had it at stage 0 for years, quite literally. My order is a CS in dolphin grey on estorils with DCC, reverse cam, HK. Ordered October 2021.
I have a friend who has a 245 GTI pencilled in for BW18 too.

So do we have a case of lots of RHD GTIs currently pencilled in for an early May build or is this a pure coincidence? What are you guys hearing from your dealers?

Ordered October 21 and still no build date. Last update was VW have removed the unconfirmed build slot and now back awaiting a build slot with no ETA

Order date: 21st April 2021

What: Clubsport, Dolphin, Estorils, DCC, HUD, HK, Rev Cam, Winter Pack (front), Pan Roof, Park Assist

Updates:
- 22nd September - no confirmed build week (previously estimated as May 23)
- 16th December - build week 48 (2022) confirmed but no information showing even though 16th December is end of bw 48. Dealer said golfs with confirmed build weeks of week 42 and later also not showing as completed and therefore currently min six week delay to confirmed dates

Picking up from dealer a week tomorrow! will post pictures and share sw version etc once got.

bigger paddles, footrest and some sill insert thingys on order.

Went in for a brake fluid change and saw this shiny beast. VW Chelmsford in case it’s not sold.

Being as it’s registered it’s probably spoken for, lovely looking example too.
Boy would you be miffed if you had one on order with an eternal lead time from the same dealership you happened to walk into only see a new unregistered/unallocated vehicle!

I am sure someone will be taking it home tomorrow on the new plate

[Kenis]

quick update as picked the car up this morning, all had time to do was drive it back home and tuck it away but two geeky/minor interior things that surprised me and must have missed elsewhere in the forum thread as part of MY23 changes

1) It has GTI lettering on the seats like the 45 (but its not a 45)
2) the door card material is alcantara (or equiv) but I thought various videos/reviews said it didnt have that.

the expected MY23 thing was piano black all round centre console.

Couple of photos (even though dirty and still has some of the transport stuff on it - detailers is not for 10 days)

Those seats and door cards are a step up from my GTI. Envious. Enjoy.

Congrats at last Kenis.
Looks great in that colour and spec and the seats and door cards look much more how they should have from the launch.
Fingers crossed for no tech gremlins!
