Not really (stereo, crew protection, black pack), no sun roof, fancy cruise control or anything like that. It arrived in the UK in July  think, I was then told it had failed QC at their port inspection place based on the steering wheel. This was assumed by the dealer to be stitching, and I was told there were a couple that had this issue. I'm not sure I believe it, but maybe. The issue then became due to change to MY2015 car there were not flat bottom wheels off the shelf and I had to wait for one to become available (see my previous posts on this thread to get to this point). The wheel finally arrived and I am told the airbag was damaged during fitting. The part that is a bit (more) fishy here is that I was told they then had to wait 10 days or so for the parts to arrive to rectify this issue. I can't quite see this though, as airbags must be off-the-shelf for all VAG cars as it is almost certainly a shared component. Anyway, fitted last week, transported back to the port and they sent a transporter to get it to the dealer yesterday. With the luck I've had I'm waiting for the call to say that someone has driven into it in their yard!

Weren't a load of vRS steering wheels pinched from cars parked up at the docks? Pretty sure someone else was delayed for this reason around the same time?

As seen on TV, yeah right, Crimewatch
