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.

This is exactly what we need to do - I expressed this in a post not so long ago - to contact the wider motoring media - I'm sure that if VW get enough bad press - things would hurry along quite quickly.

Im telling you. Do this and you will get those placques. No company ever wants bad publicity. And its not evil or unloyal. Its simple. You paid for something and VW conned you. No offence guys.

But you are taking it way to gently irrespective of "Black Marks" and such.

Wait. let me rephrase that.

Threaten VW with taking it to the public. If they dont respond them make it public cos it shows just how dishonest they are being.

Either way you and the poor guys that buy the need edition X are scoring.

Do you have an Edition 30 Sixpot?

No offence but that looks like a standard GTi  :laugh:

The grey car is a 'regular' GTI, but is not standard by any means! and I can confirm the red car in the picture is deffo an Ed30 Mike!!! this is the car I'm notifying Steve about.
People might be a little confused with the 19" Monza 2's though!

I am glad you did rephrase that Mike.  :rolleyes:

However you still seem to have the impression that I am not a commercially aware person and I am going to let VW walk all over me?

Having this "Im telling you. Do this...." attitude really doesn't help get your point across.
