    Getting close!

    My candy white Polo GTI is slated for delivery on Friday the 3rd of Feb... Not too bad considering my order went through on the 26th of May 2011, and I know people on these forums who've ordered before me and still don't have a build date..

    My order was 3 door GTI with RCD510 and Xenon headlights... and thats it. I'm really not too sure about all the talk/info about wether my GTI will receive the fabled MY12 upgrades such as climate control included and bluetooth as standard - so I ended up ordering the 9w7 kit from the Ebay seller in Poland.

    I assume that if I give this kit to my Dealer they can install it for me, or will I have to get someone else to install it? I'm not too confident about removing dash panels and trim myself, so i'd rather get it professionally done.

    Looked at the APR stage1 kit too... but still really not sure on the warranty aspects of it - and from reading the forums i've seen some people who have had their engines go into limp mode because of overheating? Too confused with the tuning

    Will post some photos in this thread once the baby arrives in my hands

    Cheers!

    Awesome iigx. I think my car might have been in the same shipment as yours. My order was the same as yours but in black. How did you get an ETA on your car. I have been called VW John Hughes over and over again and I'm still getting nothing. All they can tell me is that its stuck in customs and that my car will be ready to be picked up mid Feb at the latest?

    The 11 month wait is almost over

    I got the VIN number from the dealer, and then basically started the process of yelling at people all the way to the top.

    My ship arrives in Fremantle on the 30th and i've been promised by VWA that the customs, delivery and everything else has been pre-booked and sorted to clear through in under a week

    Oh man! You have to show me yours in white please!!!

    I have a friend who installed the touch screen radio for my car and he could do your 9w7 as I need one put in mine too!

    I have a silver 5door...

    Don't bother asking the dealer to install, they will charge you regardless!!

    Lucky you! Several phone calls and emails have achieved nothing for me. Went in to see the dealer in person and he just brushed me off. The usual, it's coming asap (three months late)

    Sigh.... I'll just keep dreaming of my car

    How did you find out it would be another 2-3 weeks? I thought the standard for the supposedly 'fast-tracked' Polo's was about 2 weeks from the boat arriving?
