Picked mine up today,been enjoying a bit of driving for past few hours I'll post some pics in appropriate thread tomorrow.

Picking mine up Wednesday from a build week 20. Dealerships emailed me a vid looks ace can't wait to get in it now

Looks very good I came very close to ordering this colour but couldn't find one to see what it actually looked like in the flesh. Bet it looks even better in bright sunshine.

I've been told end of this week more likely middle of next. Found out the sales rep I'm dealing with is on holiday which I reckon is why they've said middle of next is most likely. Be sure to post some pics.

Has anyone got their fl with the alcantara seats yet? Are they as grey as they look in vids n photos? Don't imagine they fit with the black paint if they are.

I've gone same colour minus black pack,which at the min is my only regret. Does luck mint,I do like my chrome though

Received an email yesterday asking me to confirm my details and sign to accept registration for new vehicle which of course shows my new Reg. Came same time as email confirming car now in U.K. Not sure if normal practice or they have given me info early as I enquired about it. Still a couple of weeks till I actually get the car.

Got email yesterday to say car is now in uk,expected at dealership back end of next week or early week after. So on course for the quoted mid June delivery.

Now I'm wondering why I haven't been contacted to tell me where mine is. Oh this wait is unbearable,like waiting for xmas!

Looks like sherwood pines too

Been having a good look round seems plenty of options out there, think I need to go to some shops where I can actually look/touch at them for a better idea. One thing I doing wonder about putting bikes on roof of car is,do the folks who do this carry some form of foot stool around with them? Looks very easy to drop or slip with bike and scratch/dent car!

I imagine this has been covered before but the camping season is upon us and people may be in the market for the above including myself,so does anybody have any recommendations for roof bars/roof box/cycle carriers? And maybe more importantly the ones to avoid? It's for an Octavia I should add.

So what's DPF?

Mine should be on that same shipment,mine was build week 20 and now waiting to ship from a German port. He did say the system is a bit behind so maybe already crossing the North Sea. I was told mid June be ready.

How you can have wifi or integrated wifi hotspot without a sim? Maybe just the capability to tether to phone? Either way this states you get sat nav anyway? So what you actually get for smartlink doesn't seem much if you already get this.

Well the description for the basic Amundsen that comes standard with vrs reads as this

There is a thread on here about it, 99 Ron petrol at Costco.

I buy Costco premium diesel which is cheaper than normal at supermarkets ,will have to check the petrol never checked as don't use but generally cheaper then supermarkets.

Dealer replied today says can't give registration till car in U.K. And has been consigned to their stock.

Sure I read somewhere you can put google maps up on screen,their sat nav is live and free. It's all I use now,Tom Tom not been used for years. Bit harder to see on phone but if you can display this on car touch screen,all good. Maybe someone who's vrs has arrived can confirm?

Oh really! I never knew that,thought you would just get one allocated. Chance of an almost personal plate

I emailed him today,just thought I'd ask on here. Maybe a standard process don't know how it works. I guess car has to be in country then dealer applies for registration? Something like that maybe? Is it instant? Do they wait? I guess I just want to understand the process of it.

Pretty much as the title says,I've never ordered new so was curious as I've been getting insurance quotes and obviously to go ahead with a purchase you need to know its registration.

I ordered vrs diesel estate first week in April got build week 20 (this week) expected mid June. Manual Quartz metallic grey Alcantara,heated front seats,red stitching DCC Front assist Camera

I ordered diesel vrs manual early April,had build date confirmed 2 or 3 days after order for week 20. Had an update email from dealer (sends one every fortnight) 3 days ago confiming car goes into build 1 day next week. So no idea what has happened with yours,as said above maybe options. I put DCC,alcantara seats,front assist and rear camera on.
