I bought two - still have one so count me in... I was actually wondering what had happenned to this issue yesterday.  To be honest, I feel very very strongly about it and wish I had the time to give VW a really hard time.  Suffice to say it WILL influence my decision to buy new VW models in the future.  I have already mentally passed on the Mk6 GTI and this was one of the factors - I don't want to give my money to a cynical company like VW who take their loyal customers for granted. Rant over  :rolleyes:  Just noticed that this will be my 1500th post - how ironic... What details do you need?

May i suggest that in order to get a bigger count you take a look on the forums with a "Register your edition 30" topic? There are lots of names there and if worst comes to worst you can pop all the owners a mass PM.

That way your number of 28 will look significantly larger and may even go over 1500 people which will prove VW lied.

Hmmm

At this point I think you should make it public knowledge.

1. Most owners of the GTi bought it cos it had extra power not cos it is limited.
2. I dont think many people care that they went over the run of 1500 as they have their car and thats all that matters to them.
3. Most people do not even know that the car went over its limited edition run.

I think you should take it up a level.

1. Get an email through to VWVortex.com. They are huge in the VAG world.
2. Get at least three people from every forum to email car magazines etc about the issue.
3. Dont focus on one dealership. Focus on as many dealerships as possible.
4. Email AutoExpress, car magazine and even send a few emails through to Topgear, Fifth gear.

IF you want to get VW's attention you have to hit back hard. Attack from all angles. No large company (Especially VW) wants bad publicity. Once you have car dealers emailing VW HQ for answers, Once you have Topgear commenting on it. Once you have VWVortex possibly putting it as a frontpage article on their webpage then you guys will get that placque.

I run a branding business that deals with exactly what you will be receiving from VW and I can tell you that I will have those placques to you all in under three weeks. To each of your personal home addresses. VW is talking rubbish and fobbing you off.

If you need help I can email a few people who I know that might be able to get VW moving.
