The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

[Dutch77]

Finally picked up my Golf a few weeks ago after a 6 month wait. MY14 Mk7 GTI, manual, night blue, sunroof, xenons, driver assistance.

Looks the goods.. glad the Opticoat deal came out well.

I will keep you posted on developments.

Not cool, very disappointing the dealer cannot even be bothered responding.

As a comparison I ordered new plates as the drill holes on the old ones were in the wrong spot, as I didn't have a drill to hand I had the car dropped by the dealer on Thursday and they fitted the new plates as well as some Lakin covers I'd ordered a while back no problems.

I ordered a GTI PP about a week ago in Night Blue. Should be at the dealer when I get back from a work trip in 2 weeks. Bit nervous about the colour as I've only seen it in person at dusk, not in daylight. I just wanted something different from Grey.
Been thinking about Opticoat to look after it. Any recommendation in the Newcastle area?

Don't be nervous, it's a great color and stands out given it wasn't available locally in the Mk6. It's quite dark at dusk/night/shaded, but has a good depth/sparkle in sunlight. It was a close second on my list this time around.

Can't help on Newcastle Opticoat but would definitely recommend it with that color.

This is probably the first time I saw a night blue GTI on this forum.
Looks nice

I mentioned in my newbie first post thread that the night blue doesn't seem to be very popular around here. And that mine was the first to be sold by my dealer.

Sure did, thanks again for your help.

I hadn't seen the blue in the flesh at all so I had to go by what I had seen on the web. All my past cars have been white so I wanted something different.

Here's a couple of pics in the sunlight instead of overcast.

wow picked up the CL DSG Satnav yesterday only 50ks urban driving so far but so happy with this vehicle - silky smooth and unbelievably refined - as Daryl Kerrigan would say "How's the serenity?"...will post more on 'Observations' thread in time...

tested this car fair and square against Corolla Levin SX (have had a great run with our current 2010 Corolla 6 spd manual which we are keeping) and mid-spec Mazda3 - no regrets whatsoever jumping on the dubber - love the Limestone colour (which was unseen at purchase)

[irossiter]

That is a beautiful colour, looks magnificent! Congratulations!

For those that have placed factory orders, how long did it take before you were informed on your assigned build week?

To bad she ain't an 'R'...

So far, so good!

Congrats, LSG looks smart and crisp on the Mk7s. Enjoy the ride..

Here's an up date as promised, it's taken 3 weeks 2 emails and 4 calls for a response but the dealer has apologised for the giving me a car without doing a pre-delivery check and the presentation of the car. They are also removing the tinting which cost $450 for 2 windows and did not match the back windows and has started to bubble. They even offered to touch up the chip I hope it's not too noticeable but the white undercoat on the dark blue is very noticeable so it should be better than that. The car was filthy inside and they said they would give it a full detail. Unfortunately I didn't get into the car until after it was dark and it was out side, also after over 3 hours at the dealer all I wanted to do was go home not check the acr out further it wasn't until the next day that I saw how bad it was in side.
they are keeping for 3 days to clear the Control unit faults and detail it and giving me a loan car. If the do the job right that should have been done right in the first place, then even after all my effort and wasted time I will be satisfied.
It did kill the excitement of getting a new car but perhaps I can pretend this is the delivery and I had an extended test drive for 3 weeks .
I will post delivery results when I get the car back.

^ Sounds like a fair outcome/compromise at this stage Salrom, that certainly sounds better than what I would have guessed was going to ultimately happen.. ie nothing. Assuming they keep their end of the bargain combined with the apology then that's a small win.

You say you have the Vienna leather package, but the seats in the pic look like alcantara. Is it a pic of a different car?

I'd suggest it's just the angle/brightness of the sun combined with the camera quality - the color/finish in the pic of the seats is not dissimilar to the color of the wheel.

On closer examination I do believe you are correct. It is just an effect of the lighting. Great car anyway.

[boardie_19]

Definitely the photos of my car. Was on the lot... purchase was centred around wanting Bi-Xenons. Photo taken on a sunny day hence the glare. The alcantara has two slightly different tones between the bolsters and the inserts.
