I’ve ordered Ascot and Sports Pack. I wasn’t allowed mud flaps with Sports Pack, and had to order the Driver Assistance Pack (strange - must be a profitable one for VW?!). You also get gloss black wing mirrors and the black B-pillars along with a darker tint on the living area windows.
Hi @andyinluton - i got 'confirmation' in the same way any of us do with VWCV - i.e. my order was accepted and I haven't heard back since! I foresee no issues with them pairing the two options - whenever they decide to actually build the vehicle.
Oops - we overlapped!
Also includes darker rear lights, black wing mirrors and b-pillars and black front/rear/side underbody cladding (so no side bars will be vw fittable). I agree it’s still a lot, but I have been seduced by Springfield’s and like to keep it factory, and justified it because I didn’t go for 2-tone paint which is more expensive than that lot!
I perhaps can see why they won’t combine the style pack with a non-metallic colour, as the pack includes metallic ‘black frost’ paint on lower doors and bumpers which might look odd with flat paint?
Thanks for helping me make peace with it!
Can I ask do dealers fit the black tailgate protectors?
Does the black rear bumper protector have a bit of a lip on the leading edge, to give the edge some cover, or does it sit flat on the top
Wow thanks Stuart didnt know anything about that brochure! Will check out the extras - thanks - more money required!!!!
I know !!! I have resisted the temptation to order anything yet. And I refuse to until they tell me that they have started the build! But yes, I fancied the bumper protector and the sill guards. Although Van Style and others offer some cheaper alternatives on that well known auction site. I believe they are an easy enough fit. I think its just a case of cleaning the surface properly and using the 3M tape that is already in situ. I am sure the genuine VW's will use the same method.
Yes I feel a trip is required to my local VW Commercial dealer when lockdown lifts if lockdown lifts to check out these options - yes Ive been reading about the long delays getting longer, its frustrating all this waiting around but guess it goes with the current climate across all of life at the minute!!
My fault - I spent 2 more months faffing after you pulled the trigger on yours. And all that achieved was the extra £1k post Oct price increase and being placed at the back of an ever growing queue. (Feeling bad that I have hijacked the 204 thread) I am not qualified to be typing here
Yes I remember but the wait will be worth it especially as nobody's going anywhere in a hurry these days!!My fault - I spent 2 more months faffing after you pulled the trigger on yours.

Yet remains on the configurator ?? Reassuring that they are all over this eh?
Probably a very recent decision and the changes haven't filtered down to IT yet.
I have just asked the same question but got a very different answer.
I just sent an email asking the same thing. I would rather keep the 80L tank and drop the towbar. I have a feeling its that simple though.
