It's black not red, which I couldn't care less about but what can I do! Yeah I was gonna say this, it seems dealerships are getting access to them without it being a customer order. In my hunt for a facelift model L&K or vRS that I didn't have to order myself... I phoned every dealer in the UK...I know 😂 Was informed by a few dealers (not the one I have my order with) that Skoda announce all model types on some sort of dealers register online and they can claim what they want. Not sure how accurate this is, as I'm relying on the accuracy of the dealers but since a few different ones told me the same thing it seems legit. I'm going to speak to the dealer on Monday and if I don't get a guarantee I'll try to get my deposit money back...hopefully the vRS or the L&K on autotrader aren't snapped up by then!

Haha yeah, sat in it and everything so I know its real. Still there too, drove past the dealer on the way to a meeting yesterday. The only issue is the stitching, which is apparently a direct order from skoda that these cars can't be registered until the issue is resolved. Maybe paranoia but surely a car manufacturing who was willing to shift on the car being registered before Feb 2022(apparently there was a block due to a shortage of cars for the showroom) wouldn't be so strict on the colour of stitching on a steering wheel

No idea tbh, assumed it was just ordered for stock. I can tell you it won't be a case of someone rejecting it just because of the wheel stitching because they won't actually give me the car until they get the new wheel... Tbh beginning to think something funny is going on here, originally they told me there was a registration block on it til Feb 2022...then when I pushed a bit I was told they could release it...then I get the whole can't give you it without the wheel stitching being the right colour nonsense. Wouldn't be surprised if this wheel doesn't turn up til Feb 2022

Sympathise with everyone waiting, with no end in sight! I got lucky and found a Kodiaq VRS Facelift model at a dealer in Newcastle, cars sitting their ready to go but I cant have it...its a misbuild with the wrong steering wheel stitching! Wheels been on order for two weeks and no updates or confirmed delivery date. So frustrating being so close but not available, cant imagine how frustating it is for those without a build date though!
