It depends when you ordered it - the cars get loaded in a sequence for delivery and, once on board, the offload point can't readily be changed. These ships can carry up to around 6000 cars and to get one out of sequence car off may involve the movement of lots of cars, slowing down the ship's delivery schedule significantly. When I ordered mine it was an unallocated car that was already on board the ship. It went to Pt Kembla and had to be trucked back down to Melbourne which added a few days but was no biggie.

If it is going from Brisbane to Melbourne by rail I'd plan on doing an extra thorough iron de-contamination, railways are notorious for leaving small particles of iron on cars. It's not a big deal, just a normal step in detailing a new car.

Oh Well, something to look forward to in the New Year - one of the first things I will be doing is getting it Opti-Coated, I found a place in Launceston that does the process, that should take care of the iron de-contamination (thanks for that advice).

Ok ordered a pair of paddle shifters off ebay /fingers crossed for a correct fit will post photos if they do got to wait 3 weeks for delivery now..

Got my paddle shifter extender today and they fit for the alltrack make sure you get the ones that don't fit the gti/r ours are smaller

Good to hear, I have got mine but no Alltrack they held it up in Brisbane in order to put 2018 compliance plates on it so should be with me soon:)

Hi all, is it possible to fit 15" wheels on an Alltrack?

Assuming they have 312mm front rotors? Smallest you'll get on 312 is 16". 288mm will take 15"

I saw a 132tsi Premium in Tungsten Silver on the road today - looked a lot better in the flesh than I thought it would.

Just looking at an Alltrack 135 with all the options. Build date Dec 17 and not registered, so new.
Any suggestions what would be a good price to aim for during the negotiations.
Any help greatly appreciated.
