I think it's finance GAP Rhys, different to the usual GAP! But yeh, Deffo do it!

Ah okay,

I'll have to look in to it once I get the car, or much nearer the time. I have an estimate of mid August for mine! I guess the only good thing for that is it'll be a 64 plate!

That is BW22. Was originally unconfirmed for BW26. I'm aware of a lot of people that ordered after me but have an earlier BW, guess the delay is down to dealer allocation, or perhaps spec (mine is manual with paint & prets as the only options).

Hopefully yours will update this week or next!

Mine seems to be going the other way - when order first went in on April 4th I was told week 21 and when I called the dealer last week was told its now week 28!!

Mine is 5 door, DSG, Met paint and rear airbags.

Order tracker hasn't moved from stage 2 for 3 weeks! Arghhh, but if it can take up to six....

Any more recent recipients care to share pictures and their experiences?

I am waiting until Sept for mine. Haven't seen any on the road yet.

Cheers

Mine car is showing as in transit...hoping to see it early next month

Ordered late March - maybe the manual gearbox made it quicker to ship...

My friend ordered one on the 28th January (G2L) although it took ages to get credit approved so may have been ordered early Feb, it has just today arrived at the dealers according to the VW tracker and hopefully delivery next week - its a Lapiz Blue 5 Door with DSG and 19'' Pretorias. I'll get some photos up as soon as it arrives... I'm looking forward to comparing to the my M135!

anyone ordered and getting theirs from stratford-upon-avon...if so, any chance you could post order dates and BW's..mine apparently keeps changing and still not confirmed. Mine was ordered 20th March so trying to get a feeling for when it may come (Manual, 5dr, lapiz)

cheers

Orderd my R 5dr DSG Lapiz through G2L at the end of March and its coming from Stratford-Upon-Avon. I don't have a build week yet but the quote was early July delivery. Seems like this dealers taken on a lot of orders reading various forums so not expecting it to arrive any earlier unfortunatly..

Golf R is now on a 15 week lead-time.

I ordered min from g2l in March and was told July but had a surprise on Friday when they told me it should be ready mid June. Need to get my edition 30 sold!

[Actus Reus]

My order with LPG would have gone off to VW late March, and Windrush VW have told me build is estimated first week in June, so delivery early July they think, so 15 weeks sounds about right.

Just got my build week 27, so seems like its on time for early July...

Would seem like our cars are being built side by side - I got an SMS this morning, build week confirmed week beginning 1st June and dealer reckons about a month from build to dealership.

Same here

G2L estimated it at 15th of July but could be earlier, not heard a thing since which is pretty frustrating
Order is currently with factory and hasn't moved in a while

Same here. But it's weird as I spoke with the dealership about 3 weeks ago and they were expecting the car in July! Build week seen to be confirmed pretty late on! Have those with G2L had their finance papers yet? I had all the initial ones, confirmed finance was in place etc etc. but was told to expect more papers in the post. But, it's been around 5 weeks since they were completed now!

Oh I've not even had anything since the paperwork was approved, no tracking or anything! Sad sad times.

G2L delivered my car in March, your car will move to scheduled for production about 4 weeks before it's due to be build. G2L will send your finance docs once the car is built.
Hope this helps.
