Not heard from mine yet, and I think ours was on the ship before yours.AndyGTi wrote: Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:28 pm Well I think my car will be coming in on Malacca Highway tomorrow to Sheerness.

Anyhow, not much longer now for us all...finally.
It's been an experience.

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?
Dealer just rung, car is at the uk port, expected with them next week, so we`re having it on September the 1st.
Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?
Just chatted with my dealer again, as far as he can see it's supposedly still waiting to get on a ship in SA after being at the port for over a month. I'm just really hoping that VW status hasn't updated properly and it's actually nearly here 
Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?
Yes, planning the whole photo shoot gallery

There does seem to be a lot of people going for Reef Blue and I thought I would be in a small group with that colour, but it does seem popular

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?
I was about to respond and I thought, oh I'll just check my emails...Boom! just come in. "Good News you car is at the docks in the UK" There was a ship which arrived this morning (early hours), so looks like it was on this one and not the one on Tuesday from Emden.Bearmode wrote: Fri Aug 12, 2022 11:12 amJust had an update, it's in Emden waiting to make its way over to the UK now!AndyGTi wrote: Tue Aug 09, 2022 5:25 pmFingers crossed its already on the way and somewhere between S.A. and Emden/UK.Bearmode wrote: Tue Aug 09, 2022 2:19 pm Just chatted with my dealer again, as far as he can see it's supposedly still waiting to get on a ship in SA after being at the port for over a month.

So I think I'll have a 72 Reg and they also want me to register for We Connect too. So now I need to email then with all my requirements, no washing, I'll collect direct and 72 Reg. etc
Hopefully yours will be over soon. There is s ship leaving for Grimsby today I think.
