What was your order date? Mine was 7th April and I believe we have the same spec and deal (based on previous post interactions).

Build date was 1st of may and expected arrival was first week in june so hopefully you should be getting word soon. That tracker froze for me at in transit so its not really worth checking.

Ordered 1st april i think.

Mines works out the same as my St so happy enough.
I asked for the option of it delivered this way but being a lease i was told it had to be driven.

I obviously missed out on all these deals. Went into a VW dealership last weekend expecting to be a happy man walking out. I was offered a £1000 down with £500 a month for 36 months and 36k miles for a R. That is silly money.

That sounds like a PCP Retail deal, you'll only get Lease pricing if you go through the Business/ Fleet people who don't generally work weekends.

Someone's driven into mine and taken huge chunks of paint off the front corner

They admitted liability but have asked me to get it fixed by ChipsAway to avoid going through the insurance. As the car is only 3 weeks old (and leased) I want it fixed properly, but do you think I should get a quote from a local bodyshop and get her to give me the cash, or would you go through the insurance?

I assume I don't need to inform the lease company?

Go through a local reputable bodyshop and get the cash from her, don't mention to lease company or insurance...

Definitely this. The lease company would want you to go through somebody they approve of who would warrant the work. And of course don't let on to the insurance either for obvious reasons.
