Re: Picked up my Polo SEL today

I'm not picking up my Polo SEL 115hp DSG estimated date of 29/11/2018. I have also ordered, Adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor electric mirrors, orange dash pads, electric folding mirrors and rear view mirrors. I've still got 26 weeks to wait, but if any of the things I've ordered are missing I will tell them "to stick it where the sun don't shine. I will cut my nose off despite my face. You never know, I could end up with a 19 plate.
When ordering, they added all the things on that I never asked for, eg: Paint protection, tyre protection, alloy wheel protection, panel protection and their Gap (Map) protection without even asking me first, which added on about £1500 on the final price, the thing was I got a good deal through Carwow, so they thought that they should recover some of that back.
As for GAP insurance, I looked through the internet and 123 GAP Insurance gave me a price of 3 years £120.73 & 5 years £231.21 with their "vehicle replacement" insurance, so in 4 years time you get a new car with all the extra items you had ordered in the first place.
VW were asking about £400.00 for this alone.
As for their paint protection (LifeShine) that was £400.00 the sales guy said "you will not be able to get or buy this product anywhere else". Went home and found it on "ebay" at prices between £22.00 and £76.00 for the whole kit. another cheaper option would be to find your own car detailer and get them to do it for about £150.00.
