To me 'fake' means nothing comes out - so if they are sooty they can't be fake?
That's what I had meant...

In that case my car must be broken as they're not attached.

Apologies, I didn't mean to sound hostile. I had meant that as it's sooty it can't be fake...

Scanned multiple pages here (search facility is crap) but probably not going back far enough.

Somebody posted a link to a boot lining(s) a while back.

Anybody remember if it was this thread or am i mistaking it for another thread.irked
I got a Titan one in the end, not the best pic, but it is a quality fitted liner and allows for the seats to be folded with full protection.

Cheap black ones on eBay too now, thanks to mattyoakley on HUKD for finding -

Say's it has the bumper flap included too, had to pay extra for mine.

I think, on reflection, given my needs (no kids/dogs etc etc), i'm just going to go for something like this:

https://www.travall.co.uk/volkswagen/golf-estate-m...

Or maybe the set that has the boot liner and the car mats.

Anything above is probably overkill for me.

Stage 6 for me as well today!

Do you think we'll be able to collect this week or next?

I have an FN2 type-r to get rid of now.
Hi Camboose,

Think we're in the same boat in more ways than one.

My golf has just landed in the uk as well, got mine through Cheltenham and also got a civic fn2 to move on sharpish.

Did your paperwork show 2 or 3 years deal?

That's a lot of coincidences!

I haven't received my paperwork yet. When/how did you get yours?

Have they given you an idea of a collection date. I was hoping to get it this week but not sure if that's too optimistic!

Had it last week on email from a guy I haven't spoken to before. May be worth searching your emails in case it's gone into your junk box. Haven't filled it in yet. Would you sign up for three years if you could? Leaning towards telling them about the mistake and getting it changed down to two.

No collection date yet. My updates seem a day or two behind yours so I'm hoping end of the week ready to take down to the fairford air show next weekend.

My last one reached stage 6 on the 15th Nov and stage 7 on the 20th and I took delivery on the 3rd of Dec. My estate order has just reached stage 6 on Friday.

I think I would go for the 3 years if my paperwork said that. It's a pretty stonking deal and the car has rave reviews.

Checked my emails and nothing so far - I will chase them on Monday.

Not looking good for next week delivery then - ah well, another week won't hurt after 3 months!

There's a good fitted boot liner on Amazon at the moment sold by carmats4u - £29.99 delivered with a carpet insert for the top of it.

Just make sure you choose the right option - with the boot floor in the higher or lower position.

Just back from my local VW dealer. He couldn't get near the best online price I had for a 3dr with no options added. He did say he expected incentives for the Golf R for Q3 to be available in the next week or two and it may be worth holding of.

From VehicleSavers.com I can get a 3dr on 6+23 which is £7544.75 including VAT and the £360 admin fee. That breaks down to an initial deposit of £1,486.50 and monthly's of £247.75. I'm wondering if this is an older spec stock car?

You're wasting your time going to the retail side of a VW dealer to obtain a PCH deal. As already mentioned by someone else VW fleet depts only work Mon-Fri. Also why go through a broker and pay an additional admin fee? I have ordered my Golf R through Nicolle Gibson at VW Lancaster at Milton Keynes, they were the cheapest of 4 other VW fleet depts and 3 brokers. If delivery is over 100 miles they will trailer the vehicle to you.

I did ask for the commercial department when I called. What deal did you get from them if you don't mind me asking? (And do you have contact details for her?) I don't mind paying an admin fee for a cheap deal but if a VW dealer can match it without a fee then all the better.

At the time VW Fleet dept dealers were quoting between £6100 and £6400 for a standard Golf R Estate at 10k pa over two years. You should be able to find Lancaster VW Milton Keynes contact details online. Ask for Nicolle Gibson or David East.

Was it the estate you went for? I knew the estates were being offered at great rates but didn't think the hatchback was. I'll give them a call on Monday, see what they say. Thanks.

It's good for me. Nothing to dislike.

I'm driving a Peugeot 2008 1.2vvti on holiday in France which is truly one of the most hateful vehicles that I have ever driven. I was struggling to find any redeeming features other than it's bland and looks local, which as a tourist is a vaguely helpful thing...
And to add... drive a gutless car for two weeks and then drive the R. I spent the morning hustling to Bergerac airport and having to think and rethink every overtaking move, even past stuff doing 30km/h...

Oh and Andrew, if you are still following this thread, small world, and nice to meet you last week! My daughter kept asking where your son was for the last few days... smile
