Looks good in black
Had noticed the red detailing behind the LED unit before - that's a nice little touch!

Yes when I saw the car in person the red into the lights made sense when I saw it from the side and could see it emerged from behind the LED units too.

So finally been to see the retailer
Initially had a build week of 30 then jumped to week 17 which is a bit of a result.
Just need to sell my 9n3 now.

Just been to my dealers today to check on my order of 22nd December. He tells me that my car has been built and is in transit. It is two weeks since I received this information on the order tracker. He has told me that my car will be in the UK possibly third week April as the cars are shipped from Spain to Germany for Quality Control checks. Seems a bit daft to me but if someone can tell me if this is true?.

I've never heard of VW Germany checking vehicles in person that have been built in other plants.
It sounds extremely inefficient, not to mention costly, and not very VW if you think about it.

That's exactly my thoughts when I was told. If that was the case you'd have people in the plant in Spain. Not to mention the shipping costs. Ships come direct from Santander to Sheerness, Grimsby and Port of Tyne anyway. Just hope my car is on one of these ships soon. Anymore thoughts?.

That sounds right, given that you ordered about a week after me and I've got a build week of 16
