Hi all
I ordered a Polo GTI about 3 weeks ago and I was wondering how long people are waiting to get a build date ?

Pretty sure I was into 4th week before being assigned a build date

Ok thanks, I guess I'm just being a bit impatient

I think they will be, mine was build week 5 May and was at the port on the 4th.

Ordered mine 17th March & it was built end of April. Just received a text when I woke up this morning saying it has arrived in the UK! Only problem is I'm going to America on Sunday 22nd, do we reckon I'll have it by then or not?

I got a text this morning saying the same thing.. Mine was dropped off at Grimsby as my retailer is VW Leeds.. which is a little strange as I'm in Berkshire! Sheerness to Camberley would have been a lot more sensible lol. The website says 7 days to reach the retailer but I'd hope it doesn't take that long. Once at the retailer they have to prep it etc so I would imagine the 22nd would be quite tight. I'd like mine before the bank holiday as I'm away the following week.

Well, today was finally collection day. Love it already!

Big thanks to John at Inch VW Bathgate

Here are some photos

Yeah my salesman told me it's maximum 10 days to reach them once it enters the UK. I'm in Northamptonshire and he said it's going to Grimsby too, maybe they all go there?

Anyway, dead excited. Handing over my old & slow Polo to the buyer on Friday and cannot wait to upgrade.

Can someone repost the photo of the 0-60 times that shows the Polo doing 6.1?

Not seen 6.1 but close enough and way faster than official figures.

There should be little arrows along the black trim on the side skirts indicating where to jack from

Just noticed this marking on the top of the steering wheel



Any idea what it could be? And how to remove?

EDIT - scrap that, Mrs had the idea it was the chalk used on fabrics so I gave it a wipe with a damp cloth and its pretty much unnoticeable. Was reluctant to try anything first incase it damaged the leather.

In other news, I am a day and a half in and have clocked 150 miles. Chuffed with it! It can certainly shift compared to my old MX5, though still taking it easy most of the time, but the power is just so accesible.
