Just thought I would introduce myself as I'm new to the forum!
I ordered my up! on 22nd, its a High up! 75ps engine with the basic spoke alloys, in tornado red with red dash and grey/salsa upholstery, panoramic sunroof, sound pack and the spare wheel! cannot wait to get it!
itll be my first new car, as my current car is the only other one i have owned, its done me proud tho a t reg polo openair edition!
i was told to expect possibly a 3 month wait to receive it - is this what everyone else has found?

Hi and welcome!

Hi, the waits do seem to be getting longer....
What interior colour did you go for with the red dash? I have chosen the corn silk for mine, but it was a hard call to make, as I also liked the darker one.

 

[willowaz]

yeah i went for the cornsilk, but i asked and apparently you can have the darker one with the red seats too? not sure exactly why, but they wont give it to you as a choice.
when did you order yours? do you have a "due date" yet?

Hi Willow,

sounds like your going for the same colour scheme we have ordered!
It also sounds like you've been given the same "about 3 months" we were given, although we did get an additional 3000 are being released to the network for people who have already ordered.

This means if one matches our spec we'll get it sooner!

Welcome and hope you are as excited as me

 

[Rednaxela]

Ordered at end of feb, and it's due to be built in two weeks time. Then however long it takes to ship and register. We are very excited..

 

[MarkyMark]

I'm literally waiting a call to say its built this week!! It will be sods law they call Wed/Thurs when I am abroad with work!!

 

[Rednaxela]

If your abroad, why not pick it up on your way home.. Massive road trip back to uk !! Lol....

 

[MarkyMark]

ah ha, that sounds good, altho i guess i dont mind waiting so much, means i can save more money before i get it, SO excited tho!!

it seems the red with red interior is going to be a popular choice for the up! maybe because alot of the promo pics are in the red? i think it looks hot tho!
