You gotta give those South Africans PLENTY of notice first....

And that is if they don't strike again for their RIGHTS...

the DSG gear shifter is now a the slim line model....not the T Bar derivative.

I think it looks ok with the blue as it matches the RCD310 or whatever is standard in the car.

[BR @ ON]

Agree, but I guess when the new model came out, the whole console and display would be white, that would be okay as well

I called my dealer yesterday to switch the production date for my Polo.... Purely because I think the black/white climate screen will match far better.

My car was due to be made in Week 49 of 2010, and now it'll be week 2 of 2011 for far better cosmetic value imho.

sunroof unavailable? sigh... why do the Brits get them and we dont! not fair! I was just scrolling on the VW UK site and looking at their options, they seem to get more than us!

[Hail22]

I find it funny how the poms get a Sunroof when their weather does not favour such a great accessory (English summer) last time i remember i think here in Australia we have more Sun Saturation then they do thus more (logical) reason to have it here first.

Quite stupid to be honest.

My car is due to arrive, and on the documentation it states its an MY11. I optioned the audio pack and comfort pack so do i have the new white backlit controls. It will suit my rcd510 much better

It will have the blue-lit climate control if it is already made. The black/white display is only on cars manufacruated from week 2 of 2011.

Damn oh well no different to my tiguan set up

[William_Foster]

When you say week 2 2011, what stage of the Production Schedule do you mean? My car has items in the production schedule either side of week 2 2011.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be hard to change a light bulb somewhere, if the only difference is the colour of backlighting?
