The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

Has anyone with a car that came on the Undine collected yet? I pick mine up on Wednesday 30/4.

Ordered 4/10/13, nearly 7 months ago!

I am due for collection on Friday 2 May (although could have collected the day before but figured I'd take a long weekend).

I ordered only 1 March - the car was unassigned. 7 months, now that's a killer!

Given mine needed to come from the Melbourne drop off and needs to go out for tint and so on I would have thought some Victorians would have already collected by now.

Jimi, you have some patient balls of steel. I died after waiting 2 months and canned my factory order for a MY13 car on the promotions earlier this year. Exciting times soon Dutch77, haha have you already ordered a few things for the car prior to delivery?

Ordered mine on 12/4 and picked it up from barloworld yesterday evening. Drove it home with all the stickers still on it. My preferred detailer will take care of it this Saturday.

I've been good so far - only the Lakin base plate for the rear and some covers to try out.

I'm also close to pulling the trigger on a wheel change, I don't mind the Austins but wouldn't mind a different look.

Undine unloaded in Brisbane on 15/4; I will get my car from the dealer in Ipswich (35km west of Brisbane) next Friday afternoon (it too will be ready Thurs am). Have asked them to check the windscreen wiper issue. They are also adding a darker tint and doing upholstery protection. They offered to deliver it to me, but I will go to the dealership (don't want no other dude driving my GTI !)

Stunning! Even with the stickers.

Who is your preferred detailer? There's no shortage of recommendations on here for people in Melbourne or Brisbane but not many that I've seen for Sydney

I use 'Deep Gloss Detailing'. You can email him at enquiry@deepgloss.com.au. His name is Ian. I trust him 100% with my vehicles. I'll try to post some pics after he is through with my vehicle this weekend.

Hey there ctan...nice wheels

Our car is on the Tortugas which is somewhere between Melbourne and Port Kembla at the moment. I was wondering what exactly you requested your dealer not to do in PDI to get the car with stickers etc. I passed by mine yesterday to request the same and I got a blanket response of: "haven't done that before and will have to check with the GM". Thanks.
