New Guy Here!

Is there a window next to you ? If so chuck yer budget out of it !! Haha
Yeah - enjoying the throwing at the moment!

I've pretty much nailed it now I think - T32 2.0 TDI 204PS Highline Kombi 4Motion DSG with a few extras like Adaptive Cruise, electric doors, parking sensors + camera, nav, heated seats, LED lights front & back.

Then it's off to Raceline Sports Vans in Bath to have their magic worked on it :):):) lowered, new 20" wheels, front splitter, rear spoiler, side bars, sound deadening + lining, Raceline seat reupholstering, limo tint to glass - Ooooooh I can't wait!!!!

OK, so I thought this thread deserved a bit of an update!

Nearly 4 years later and I still don't have a Transporter!!!! Basically in 2018 some things changed in my business and my attention, money and time had to be diverted elsewhere. Any the 'itch' has always been there since and in September 2021 I pushed the button on:-

Transporter Kombi Highline T32 SWB 2.0 tdi 204ps 4Motion DSG

Added a few factory extras:-
  • Ascot Grey [FOC]
  • Twin/single seat in 2nd row
  • Heated front seats
  • Discover media navigation
  • High Beam assist
  • LED headlights/LED rear tail lights
  • Carpet in front of cab
  • Direct tyre pressure monitoring system
  • Washer fluid indicator/heated washer nozzles
  • Trailor assist with park assist
  • Rear parking Camera
  • Removable/detachable towbar
  • Twin side sliding electric doors
  • Electric tailgate
  • Mudflaps front and rear
  • Heating in rear
And some dealer fit extras:-
  • Front and rear spoilers
  • 20" Trident alloy wheels
  • T32 Eibach coilover suspension
  • Black Side bars
I had a message from the supplying dealer a couple of weeks ago saying I had a build week scheduled of Week 33 2022, followed a week or so later with an email saying that VW have 'removed the build date'

So whether I see it in 2022 I can't be certain!! I can but hope.

My current Avatar pic is just a 'borrowed' image from @BognorMotors until my Ascot Grey machine arrives and I can get some genuine ones up!!!

Well to further update this thread...!

I still don't have a Transporter - have now had a possible build date of week 40 2023, so I doubt I'll actually see it in 2023 to be honest.

Ah well, the shopping list grows!
 
Perhaps should update the spec too for completeness!

Well.................

A further update from the supplying dealer....

Potential build week 4 - 2024

Gordon Bennett this is getting nuts!!!
 
Well knock me down with a feather - called up my dealer on Friday 3rd Nov to see if there was a Status 20 for my week 04 2024 build and he says "let me have a look for you" followed by keyboard tapping followed by some forum unfriendly expletives and "it's being built week 45 2023" er um that's Monday!!!

So heck! Having ordered on 30/09/2021 there's a flying chance I might see it before Xmas - but I've got a few dealer-fit options so that will probably push it to 2024 in fairness...!

Crazy hey?!
