Car been in transit for a week. Not fussed as not taking delivery until June. Might take it early though if VWFS sensible about extra charge for having the GTD back early.

Fancy swapping with me

Old car is going back on the 17th March and I'll be receiving a shiny new Scirocco on the same day! Exciting.

Awesome! make sure to get some pics up! What colour is it and any options?

[Yidwann]

No options, but I did manage to get Rising Blue thrown in, I will post pics up tomorrow for sure!

Picking mine up tomorrow. Dealer set me an email with a link to a video today.

Don't think the video will win any awards, but at least I know the car exists and its the correct colour. I was hoping for black rather than silver mirrors but its not exactly the end of the world that they are silver.

Collecting tomorrow afternoon - insurance is sorted and only £15 a year more than my current car (2004 Merc CLK 320 convertible worth approx £4k),

Changed to stage 6 of 7, in the UK this morning.

[Yidwann]

Could have picked a nicer day for it mind

Same here - changed this morning to stage 6. Shipping only took 10 days rather than 4 weeks. Should be at the dealers in 7 days.

When mine hit stage 6 I rang the dealership and apparently my car was already there! magically!

[Yidwann]

Not the best day for taking pictures, but super happy, its lovely!

[Tyrone1Wils]

Looks awesome! Now I only have to wait 2 weeks .

I just wish the car was a little bit lower as standard, the ride height is a little high for my liking!

BUMP....For the above!...........and

Also has anyone else taken delivery of their lease Scirocco this month.

Mine is at the dockside somewhere so should not be too long now.

[Tyrone1Wils]

Mines due for for delivery on 17th March. I could of had the car this Friday but decided to hold up so it matches with my current car going back.

I'll probably buy GAP insurance through ALA.

[Yidwann]

Sorry I missed this, no I haven't taken out gap insurance as of yet. The wheel mark really easily too, I had to get up onto a really small curb (no choice) even creeping really bloody slowly I have managed to cause a small ding in the rim! Arse! Just a word of warning when you get yours!

[GME3twenty]

Car has just arrived at the dealers, delivery arranged for next Tuesday

How long was your car in transit for?

[HJMS123]

My build week was this week and it's already in transport

To the guys who have had or soon having the car delivered how long was the car in transit for?

I've been looking at a few of these which are under a year old and for sale online and and it seems VW use three different tyres for the Rocco R. They're either Pirelli Pzero's, Continental CSC 5P or the dreaded Bridgestone Potenza's (Had these on my Fiesta ST from new and they're average in the dry and appalling in the wet) What tyres do you guys have on yours?

Mine came with Pirelli P-Zero's
