The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[Leon]

Just got to wait now (September I'm told!)

Congrats on the order and hopefully your wait doesn't blow out longer than September!

Definitely not -- I got the same estimate. My car is supposed to land the 3rd week of April, with estimated delivery mid-to-end May. Dunno what takes them so long really.

With this I'm going to say it depends on how many cars come into the port in question, I'm up in Brisbane and mine was cleared in a week out of customs, but with you guys down in Vic and NSW I would expect more cars to be unloaded from the boats which would take longer to clear..

Well just took the jump and ordered by first VW ever!

Golf R 5dr DSG Black
- black leather, sunroof
- mdi, bt, sat, dynaudio, camera, ACC
- black 19"s

I wasn't sure if to go black or silver wheels (lots of black) but I had a chance to see a black R with the same black 19"'s and it's certainly an aggressive and unique look!

Just got to wait now (September I'm told!)

did you get a good deal helium?

Is that a new style of dsg shifter? What happened to the rounded style one?

Yep, MY11.5 changes. A bit more sleek I would say. Not exclusive to GTI/GTD/R, even regular Golf gets it.

mk6tsi, I like your paddle shift mod. The stock seems a bit hard to reach for my normal hand position on steering wheel.

I thought MY11.5 dashboard came with a red ring around the numbers. Yours is an 11.5 but the dials are the old style...

The two photos are taken using different flash condition. Or maybe car is not powered on.
Without flash, it will show up red ring. With flash, it is overpowered by the flash.

In normal daylight (bright condition), you will not see red ring.

So will my Golf wagon (Jan 11 build -pickup next week) have this type of DSG shifter too ?

I'm in Bris too mate, but I've been told to expect a month...maybe it's just my dealer over-quoting the time so they don't give me any more delays.

Out of curiosity, what dealer did you buy from?
