The RCD510 is NOT standard on the Match nor on the SEL. I enquired about GTi springs about 6 months ago and they would fit them but it was going to cost £400 + for parts and labour. That's a lot considering a 15mm drop isn't enough on the back anyway.

If you want to reduce the chance of your car being mistaken for a Suzuki Vitara then you need at least at 30mm drop on the rear 8)

Just been in to make a couple of changes to the order. Decided to go for Candy White now and have the 510 as an upgrade. :)

Pumpkin, that sucks. How come it's such a long wait? I think a support group is needed however. :D

I ordered it either yesterday or Friday, mine is probably due sooner because it's a lower-spec model or something. My birthday is at the beginning of July so it'd be a nice present if it comes around then.

Fingers crossed for you! Be interesting to see if they start turning up earlier than planned.

The dealership also told me there is a 5 month wait for 5-door models :shock:

That I believe as mine told me the same. Which is quite surprising, these Polos look so much better in 3 door versions.
