He is pushing for a full refund of the winter pack cost as a gesture of goodwill!! I am not sure VW know what that is, but the dealer has been great. He did me a video so I will try and put it on here

Do you have a link to this German website?

Bear in mind that the bolt pattern (PCD) of the wheels fitted to the Polo is 5x100, which is different to the majority of other current VW cars. Most VW’s have wheels with a PCD of 5x112 (the up! and Touareg are different; their wheels have a PCD of 4x100 and 5x130 respectively). This does mean that you see fewer genuine VW alloy wheels for sale that will fit the Polo than you do for, say, the Golf.

This might be the German website that monkeyhanger was referring to;

https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/

They specialise in Mercedes (incl AMG) / Smart (incl Brabus) and VAG branded items. They do have Brescia alloys for sale (€1,299 /approx £1,154 for a set of 4), but they’re 19” for the Golf with a 5x112 bolt pattern. They have only three sets of alloys for the (previous generation) Polo, which also has a PCD of 5x100.

Barry stop complaining about the winter pack, I’ve watched the video and yours has come with cardboard in it to keep you warm in winter, mine didn’t have this option on arrival

He showed me the dealers list of orders that they are struggling to fulfill , and his Polo Gti( well a demo for him) has been put back to October despite a January order.
Monday is a lovely day anyway for me as I am retired!
Full report on the car coming when I have chance to wade through the handbook and use it.
Not even bothered that is has started raining, my garden is parched.
