    VW UK have been really good. Things are moving now with the dealers but VW are tracking progress and are overseeing things. The Dealers have messed up so hopefully they put things right without any more aggravation.

    cheers

    VW Uk still pushing to sort things but (surprise surprise) the dealers are dragging their heals. Big disappointment with the service which confirms my experiences with most of the dealer networks.

    On the plus side, all this dithering on my side with the REVO means I havnt wasted 600 as the car looks like its going back to VW and beingh exchanged under the 30day clause. Would have been a bummer if Id spent the money for 4 weeks fun.

    The car has gone back, sad to see it go but I would have had a knightmare when it came to resale as it had 3 prev owners and was only 20month old !! This was overlooked by VW and I was told it was a 2 owner when I bought it as the V5 wasnt availble as it was `in the post` having a cherised transfer, VW put there hands up and admitted it was an admin error and didnt argue.
    They were supposed to replace the car but I was just refunded instead which didnt really help as I was back square 1 trying find another which I struggled to do for 16K, low mile age 3 door.

    These things are still mad money to buy.

    Anyway good news is that Red 3 dr comes this week, 12K miles, electric leather, winter pack, 6cd and 18" Monzas (which are pretty cool). Fingers crossed I have less hassle this time.
    2 MK5 GTis in 5 weeks? is this a record ??

    Im probably on the wrong thread but can you colour key the bumpbers and skirts on these? or do you need to order pre-primed items from VW?

    Cheers

    I have had REVO on my MK4 for 2 years now, and its awesome.

    Main advantage is that you can switch it back to stock when it goes into the garage,
    do custom code offer this yet?
