Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
When I ordered mine in September it was expected delivery late January/early February.
I've not got a build date yet.
You might get it by Christmas, fingers crossed.

I was pulling your leg.
Mine was built 5/6 weeks after order so early March sounds about right.
It took 3 to 4 weeks after that for the keys to end up in my hand.

Not cool diesel, my heart sank! Haha, I'd never have thought a car could cause such an emotional roller coaster.
Counting down the days!

Nothing as of yet, I'm assuming my next update will be after she's been built!flashash wrote:Any more news on yoursCandyCupcake wrote:An R. So I was extremely envious when you picked up yours!

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
I ordered mine end of August, however I said I didn't want it until March 2016 so can't really use my order as a good example for time frames unfortunately.Roccy Balboa wrote:When did you place your order candy?CandyCupcake wrote:Got a phone call from my dealer last night to confirm mine is getting built the first week of Feb!

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
Yep, exactly! I know it wouldn't matter to some people, but it did for me and I'm not in a rush so didn't mind waiting

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
Received my 5a text last friday, so been 6 days since that. Any ideas as to the expected time until 5b and so on?

This was my experience and it's quite similar to most other folk
18 Sept: Your order has progressed to stage 5a of 7 (in transit: left factory)
3 Oct: Your order has progressed to stage 6 of 7 (arrived in the UK)
9 October: you order has progressed to stage 7 of 7 (your car has arrived)

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
Don't know if this will be of any help to anyone, but my car was built in the first week of Feb and the garage took delivery of it on Friday

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for, will obviously fluctuate but helps a lot. Not sure if it's me, but I'm weary of the increase of orders due to the new plates coming out.Dazarooni wrote:

Again, not sure if it's me just being worried. Getting increasingly impatient, and there's a 99.9% chance that I'm just creating completely insane assumptions!

So now I am wishing the days away until March 1st!!
So what day exactly did you receive your 5a (sorry for the interrogating!)

Did you take any pictures? I've got a similar spec to you, was just wondering how the 90 tints looked!

I didn't sign up to the text message services I can't comment on that sorry 
The pictures are in the dark so can't really be appreciated but I will be bombarding the forum with them when I pick her up!
You will happy with the 90% tints, I had them on my sold scirocco and loved them!

Been hunting around for what ship it would be on but no luck! Im from South London so I took a wild guess at it being delivered to Sheerness? No sign of a Boat from Emden there!
Would anybody know what ship it might be on?
