The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Damn what a bad trip.. you should demand the swirls be removed.. that is just a crap pre delivery polish job.. take photos and tell them that you intend on taking it to a 3rd party and they have to pay.

[Corey_R]

Damn... sorry to hear this. Was it floor stock?

You're in TAS so I'm not really sure of any detailers down there, but if you could get it to Melbourne and leave it for 2 days, there is a detailer called Mario at Eurogloss that could fix all the swirls, and then add an aftermarket clear coat called Opti-coat to your car to help keep it swirl free and looking new longer.

Thanks Corey_R, SilvrFoxX

It was a brand spanker, so a bit disappointing. Covered in unbuffed polish too. I guess they rushed it to deliver it to me on time.

I will have another chat to them on Monday and see what more they might do.

Another observation, it seems to turn the heads of Audi drivers

[SilvrFoxX]

They have to fix it.. you can't accept swirls on a brand new car.. unless you are into removing them yourself but that is not the point.. tell them you want it booked it to be done properly or they have to pay for a 3rd party to do it I( that would be my preference as they fked it up to start with)

[Corey_R]

Ask for it to be done by a DIFFERENT COMPANY than that used to stuff it up in the first place. You've only got so much clearcoat...

Was in the middle of an EXCITING Oracle database yesterday and recieved an email from my dealer....
My Golf has been built and is awaiting shipment.
I couldnt concentrate for the rest of the afternoon.
Looks like I will have to get the VIN off of the dealer to start tracking

Not alone. I also ordered in August and am waiting for the Toreador to leave Melb at 2200 tonight. Hopefully the 2 day stike this weekend at Port Kembla affects containers and not cars.

I ordered my GTI and dealer says around 12 months wait!

Do they really take that long???

Appreciate any input... cheers,

[Corey_R]

It should only take about 6 months for a GTI judging by recent posts in this thread... but better to tell you longer than it'll really be and then over deliver, than tell you it'll only be 4 months and it take 7...

QFT...!! Not sure I would go the wait distance next time around.. the Golf R will have to be orgasmic for to wait so long again

Toreador is nearly there SF. My car should be sitting on the dock now but no idea what's happening with it! It feels worse than the ship disappearing for 10 days!

Not as bad as ringing the Dealer and the best they can offer is delivery date 3 days before end of month..

At least you know for sure you will get it then they will want their cash in the dorr for the month of May

[langers_sydney]

My R is being built this month. High five to that!
