Did anyone change the spec of their car after order? I wanted to add reverse camera but my dealer said any change would push it back and would probably cancel the finance, ergo I would lose the deal... (build date still unconfirmed)
I changed my paint but it was the same price so wasnt an issue. That was just before the build week was confirmed when it said with factory

Those with build dates in May, did you go for manual or DSG? Wondering why the such big difference in build dates (May vs Mid/late August) when I'm guessing most of these GTIs were agreed around the same time, give or take a couple of days.

Another push back in predicted build week on VW Chat today.

Car ordered 3rd April
Initially quoted build week 5th June
Second quote of build week 26th June
Today quoted build week 24th July frown

Hoping I see it come back down but not looking likely at this stage, was really wanting the GTI for this summer but looks like it might be September at the earliest. Bonus of having a 67 plate I suppose...!

I have a confirmed BW of 5th June.

Going by the timescales from build week to delivery on the old GTI and Golf R lease threads of last year i think last week in June is realistic to expect delivery.

NVS are confident of delivery by end of June.

Definitely appears Manuals are being built much sooner.

It's interesting that VWFS were saying these *had* to be registered by end of quarter, and yet clearly that isn't going to happen for many.

I'm exactly same as you, was 22 now 33. Let me know if you get anything out of the dealer, I'll have a go too.

Ive added the new 18" Sevilla to mine and the dealer says its now WK 31 also told its not a problem if it were an Aug del date to be honest the closer to sep the better for me as my current PCP has to be handed back then.

Just been told my DSG in red will probably be week 25 - week commencing 19th June.
Delivery 6-8 weeks later

It's weird they said "probably". BW is supposed to be confirmed 4 weeks prior.
