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

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.

When was yours ordered? - Mine was ordered 2 weeks ago nearly and due mid July.

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

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.

I'll keep you all posted on where mines at, I have asked VW to give me updated as soon as they get them so fingers crossed.

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

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