Just noticed mine has moved from order received to preparation, it was stating until yesterday build was expected to begin on the 22nd of Feb, does this mean it has started earlier and there is a chance I will get is sooner than I thought?
Car is on code 60. Transit to the centre. Also be picking it up on the 1st of March. Got given a 16 reg plate already.

Yes possibly. But then again the tracker isn't 100% accurate. Always contact your dealer for real time progress.Just noticed mine has moved from order received to preparation, it was stating until yesterday build was expected to begin on the 22nd of Feb, does this mean it has started earlier and there is a chance I will get is sooner than I thought?
My dealer said you don't get to pick plates anymore. There's just a live system that every dealer can see and plates can come and go at any time so the management just pick one at random for you, provided it doesn't look a bit dodgy or rude! Can you verify that you didn't get to pick?
This is my first new car, when my folks last bought a new car 12 years ago they were given a notebook with a list of many plates to choose from so times may have changes a bit!
That's odd as I had a choice of 10Yep I asked if I could pick the last 3 letters from a selection but my dealer said its against there group policy to do that. They said it goes through the system and gets assigned one randomly. My plate isn't as nice as I'd liked but it isn't rude/bad it's just random. Oh well I'll be putting a private plate on it in a years time so I'm not really bothered.
My dealer said its part of their group policy. My dealer is part of the Vindis group, who's your dealer with if you don't mind me asking ?That's odd as I had a choice of 10

Yep they don't do Carwow, well my dealer didn't but Huntingdon Vindis did, which is strange. But my dealer matched my Carwow offer within £450 so I just went with them anyway. They don't put the branding on all of cars but I'll make sure I'll tell them anyway.Ahhh Vindis! I did a test drive with them but ended up ordering through CarWow and thus the Marriott group as I don't think Vindis do CarWow (or atleast cambridge didn't). I also didn't like the way that Vindis paint their branding onto your card bodywork below the A3 badge. I hope you've asked them to specifically not do that!

For me the move to preparation tied in with then the order became locked and I couldn't make any changes. I found this out by asking to make a change to add the ILP a day or two after it went to the prep stage.
It was then about a month until mine moved from prep to the various panel/paint/assembly stages but these did happen 1 week earlier than I was originally told by the tracker.
Not waiting for the plate change ???Dealer informed me yesterday I will be picking up my S3 sportback this Wednesday! About time. Ordered 11th November, so 14 weeks the wait will have been!![]()

Ordered mine in December, and it's only just gone to the PaintShop today (woo hoo!), so I'm expecting a minimum of 12 weeks for mine.
Onto assembly now. Seems to fly through these stages. I wonder if the tracker is pre set to move trough one a day, with a longer duration on the QC
my pickup is booked for 5pm. 1st March. Sod the midnight collection.Logged on this morning and it said it had arrived. 10am I get a call from the dealer and ask, but they said it hasn't arrived. They don't get deliveries on a weekend so most likely Monday or Tuesday.
They did however offer me a midnight collection on the 1st.... Already have that day booked off work though. Dunno if I can be ***** staying up just to collect it then be knackered the next day. Tempting though.
Actually, it'd be really hard to inspect the car in the dark so probably not a good idea.
I went to see my S3 for myself today'Yay!'still in its wrappers and the weather was miserably wet & sleety so the photos aren't brilliant, and you can't see the Panther Black in its glory. More photos will follow come the 1st March![]()

Looks nice. Love the exhausts on the back. I will not go and see mine. Will wait until 1st March for the surprise.
Very nice! Must have been tempted to just drive it off![]()

Anybody any idea how long this would normally take from this stage onwards?
