Congratulations. The wait begins...........what 10 options did you pick?

Did you go for Limestone Grey with the red dash pad or did you pick an alternative colour so you could have the grey dash pad?

I've stayed with the grey this time as I've had red twice and a white one before those. Can live with the quirky red dash.
The dealer had a Polo Beats in the showroom, it had a red dash. The red is more muted and slightly metallic looking in person than on video reviews I've seen. Unless of course there is more than one shade of red.

Options. GTI+ with winter pack, rear view camera, climate control, park assist, blind spot monitoring, panoramic sunroof, navigation, limestone grey, wireless charging pad, 18inch Brescia wheels.

I spoke with online chat and they informed me Polo GTI's ordered today now have a lead time of 26 weeks. The free 1 year's insurance stipulates cars must be registered by 30th June 2018, clearly very few GTI's are actually going to be delivered by that time so I'd be interested to see whether VW honour the free insurance offer for cars registered after June or not?

I don’t think they will look too small, although I’ve not seen any pictures of a GTI / GTI+ with the standard 17” alloys (all have had the optional 18” Brescias). The 17’s will give a slightly more compliant ride than the 18’s as the tyres fitted to the 17’s will have a higher profile sidewall.

If you have a look at some of the pictures and videos of the R-Line with the optional 17” Bonneville wheels or the SEL with optional 17” Pamplona wheel, that’ll give you an idea of whether or not you think they look to small. The current price list brochure has an SEL on the front cover with optional 17” wheels and a picture of an R-Line on page 9 with 17’s too;
