I like how you’ve got the centre cap neatly lined up with the valve and R badge too  :smiley:
Congrats!

Had confirmation from VW that my build started today. Hopefully not too long to wait now.

Hopefully it lands in 4 weeks so we can get it registered on the 31st March to save me having to pay the extra tax, but not holding out much hope  :cry: :grin:

How much extra tax would you have to pay if they don’t get the car delivered before April?

The first year RFL on the Clubsport is doubling from £1095 to £2190.
I had it put on my price from the start in january so if its lucky enough to be registered before 1st april then £1095 will come off. My car is also getting build this week but not holding my breath for it being here in time.

The standard Gti is in a lower rfl band due to lower CO2 figure.

An extra £650. It’s budgeted for but would rather not have to pay it  :cry:

Yes all of the first year rates have doubled.... that and the luxury car tax makes owning a new one of these an expensive thing.

Not as bad as Ireland mind you  :laugh:
