Ah, phew. Feared it might have been one of those 'fell off the lift guv" stories.
Though in fairness that will be on a pre polished van.

Great service, it was just one of those things. They immediately offered us the Multivan and got to work on the Cali despite having a full workshop catching up with work from the Queens bank holiday Monday.
I’m no expert but I’m sure any decent detailer would want to make sure the paint was prepared correctly before adding a ceramic coating. It has to be pretty near perfect otherwise you are coating over imperfections. Not sure I’d trust vw to “polish” it
Great stuff, exciting times! Let us know how you get on at EV and don’t forget the photos!
Hi, could I ask if there was any mention of a price increase as it will be delivered after the end of September? ThanksWell, finally, after a change of heart on our September 2020 order and then re-ordering in October 2021, today I got a reply off Ben at Eurovans saying our van is in build and will be with them in 6 weeks
Never been mentioned. I wouldn’t be very impressed if it was!
You could well be right, I am just guessing the process.. I trust fox to do it the right way, they have a very good reputation and Lee fixes a lot of finish problems for vw.. They know him well.I’m no expert but I’m sure any decent detailer would want to make sure the paint was prepared correctly before adding a ceramic coating.

The Cali finally arrived. Lovely drive home and it was christened with its first poo by our granddaughter…;-)
Fabulous wheels, well worth the wait
So, the fault with the parking sensor that delayed our collection has reappeared…;-(
I agree I have asked the dealer not to clean it as it’s getting ceramic coated straight after pick up.I’m no expert but I’m sure any decent detailer would want to make sure the paint was prepared correctly before adding a ceramic coating.

Good idea. We did that with the last new car we bought. The dealer wasn’t very happy not being able to hand it over without cleaning it, but I’ve had issues in the past where someone has “cleaned” the brand new car with what must have been similar to a Brillo pad
We had the exact same problem.Good idea. We did that with the last new car we bought. The dealer wasn’t very happy not being able to hand it over without cleaning it, but I’ve had issues in the past where someone has “cleaned” the brand new car with what must have been similar to a Brillo pad
And here he is, home at last, apparently 1 week under 12 months. I'll do a walk through /kit out video over the coning days. Good luck to those still waiting.
Mark, is that a pearlescent black 4 motion with the sports pack?
it is pearl black 4-motion but no sports pack.. the black wheels and awesome tires I bought myself and had them transferred onto the new van... if you are interested I did a video about them when I put them on the old van... (below)... interestingly, this now looks like it needs lowering by 30cm, but once the van is loaded with kit it sinks into the suspension. I'll try to do a before and after pic as I load the van up tomorrow.
hoping to get the solar panels on tomorrow, 2 x 100w, and some colour into the interior... plus dashcam hard wire and temporary seat covers. I hope it doesn't rain.
Oh good god. Hold my beer. That look’s absolutely fricking awesome. Wowzer.
