Ordered my GTI+ last year and expecting it to arrive some time in May, in the meantime I was just looking at some photos of other polos GTI and some don't have a central front arm rest!!.. i thought it was standard on upper spec models? can anyone shed some light on that?

Centre arm rest is a feature of GTI + over GTI

They say the factory has my build locked in as a priority for the first week of April. My tracker app does not confirm this . It now permanently asks if I have picked up my car ....it most likely has timed out as it's never run passed a 12 month delivery time.

In these precarious times I feel I should be buying British and not German, however that's a whole other debate. Anyone got an Allegro.

My first car was an Austin Allegro, I remember it well, it was in that colour described in the brochure as “Turd Brown” and I have to say it suited the colour. I didn’t learn from my mistake as my second car was a Morris Marina so my first two cars were the worst two cars in the history of motor vehicle manufacturer.

Ordered my plus last March, still no sign of it. current Polo had its MOT few weeks ago and the cheeky bar-stewards at my dealership said "dont worry we will take care of any works that need doing to pass it " lol. You damm right there !!!

I ordered mine in November ... given an ETA of the end of March 19 ... is that even remotely likely?

Looking through this thread that seems optimistic ... tracker says its "with the factory" ... not even got a build date (and scanning through here delivery seems to be build date + 8 weeks?).

Going to start causing headache with MOT and such if it's much later.

Thanks
