So it seems you were right, VW are shipping out to locations with a "proper" summer first (perhaps regulation is a little more relaxed for your part of the World).

Mine is down for a tentative shipping in week 52 with a view to taking delivery mid to late January and it is give or take the same spec as yours and I ordered at around the same time as you (back in May) and I had the same build time as you (August); it was supposed to be with me next week or the week after but a few weeks ago they pushed it back by a month and then a week or so later they pushed it back a further 2 months (at least).

Anyway, awesome news!! Once your Cali arrives, be sure to post some pics

As for paint protection, I'm not planning on wrapping the front (yet) but I do intend to to have a few key area covered with film (under door handles, around sliding door track...etc) and I've paid for rear bump guard and a few other bits n bats.

Hi ... Thanks such a pity that the wait has increased. That said ... I don't suppose you were planning to use it much over winter anyway. Will let you know how the wrapping goes .... plus pics of course. Hope they are being super conservative - and you end up with it earlier!

Hi All - I have just had the dealer take a few snaps of the new Cali - as it is being prepared. So looking at the photo's I don't see any change from MY18. Looks a bit ugly without the nice shiny hubcaps attached! Should pick it up early next week ...
