Just signed the order for a:-

 

vRS245 DSG in black with

DCC

Crew Protection

Spare Wheel

Towbar

Silver Sitching

 

Lets see how long it takes ?

Remap and pedal box on this one?  Will you be swapping the accelerator pedal for an on/off switch like the last one? 

Maybe, have to see how slow it is

Congratulations!

It will interesting to see what your fuel consumption figures are like. An interesting comparison between small engine driven very hard and bigger engine just driven hard.

Hope you have shares in your preferred tyre company.

A nice Quartz Grey FL vRS estate was being picked down there today, guy wasn't on here but, I gave him the sites details so, you all might see some photos of it later.

Yeah its gonna be interesting, fuel ain't so much an issue as its relatively small beer with a drip drip effect tyres however, will be more noticeable. SWMBO is an accountant !!!

wow - that's quite an offer (almost worth signing up lol).  No i'm not forces.  

 

.. just that i'm currently on my third vrs (a 230), and prob halfway through my tenure with the one, would love a 245 but i'm also getting really peaved as to how much f**ing car tax i'm now paying, so might need to go for something more tax efficient next time.  Boo.

Welcome to the club, nice spec, **** build week, my own build week has gone back by 1 to BW32

Thanks.  This'll be my 4th vRS but first petrol model.

I can't believe it'll be March and will hope for better news from the dealer next week!

Ordered VRS 245 Estate 10th June. Black Magic, DCC, spare wheel. (Didn't see this thread before)

Sounds as though they may need to order more black paint.

245 is £140/year RFL (from yr 2) under the new rules - same as a Citigo? or are you talking BIK?

Yes, BIK it's my company car. Close on 500 per month incl the fuel. 

 

I was going to go for white up until the last week. Just something about the Black though. Nice video on YouTube of a black 230 + black pack and that made my mind up.

I was quite taken with a black SE-L being the first FL I saw in the flesh, but tbh I would probably have chosen another colour if there was more available on the 245, if only for a change from my black Mk 2.

 

I guess it was covered long ago on the pre FL 230, but what's the reasoning for only offering the four colours on the 245?

Sorry, I was joking.......

Hi, I am a newbie and I have just ordered my first vRS; 245, Black (of course), DCC, Silver Stitch, Canton, Columbus, etc. 

 

Not got any timings yet. What is "Build week" and what is everyone's ETA?

Nice spec for your car, build weeks (BW) are the week your car will be made, its just the weeks of the year numbered 1 to 52.

 

BW31 is the week commencing 31/07/17 which is week mine is being built, it takes about 3 or 4 weeks to get it from then. Mine was ordered on the 23/05/17.

Thanks,

 

Let's hope they make them all that week :-) Not sure I can wait 3 months! 

Hope the DCC counteracts those 235/35/19s.

what makes you think 235 width tyres, I presumed 225
