Good to know! They certainly have worked well for me too. My only negative experience of Contis in the past has been a bit of noise and awful wear rate. I’m not expecting to see more than 8k miles even with sensible driving.

I'm in the same boat (no pun intended), waiting, waiting, waiting...
I think my car has been there 2-3 weeks, I asked on here once and was told upto 3 weeks is the norm.
From what I've read, again this seems normal but when I hear something I'll post.
When I got my VRS, I just signed everything on the day I went to collect it... So not sure if different dealers / companies do things differently.
Thanks for the reply; that's put my mind at ease a little bit but the whole 48 hours after signing thing still seems a little strange.
Re paperwork. The dealership I ordered from is a long long way from me (best deal). I was sent everything to sign in advance via email. I then had to sign and return via post along with my driving license and some proof of address. Had everything back the next day. Perhaps see if that’s an option? They need to know the car VIN/registration to do the paperwork though.
Try
I was informed the dealer has my car as of today, they emailed contacts over to sign which I printed, signed, photo'd, and emailed them back straight away.
Unfortunately the earliest they will let me collect is 12 days from now, which I'm a bit surprised about, but apparently that's the earliest they can do it. I wasn't expecting it to take that long.
Now mentally preparing myself for more waiting!

Current lead time is 18-20 weeks on DSG-auto. Manual ordering closed yesterday.
Mine took 6 months. Enjoying the manual box - didn't realise the books had closed!
Had other pictures on the "what did you do with your.." thread, but here's another from yesterday's cleaning mission:
Mobile phones can take some pretty smart photos these days!

Hi Scrogg,
Is this indefinitely?
Don't know if you know my back story but I was screwed over by SEAT.
They ordered the wrong car back in October and have failed to resubmit my order, due to the price changes in 2018.
Mine was a manual. Does this mean I'll no longer be able to get one?

Nice photo. That colour is growing on me. I didn't even consider it when I ordered mine, but I would if I was ordering one now.

Glad I ordered mine in Desire Red now.......
They are only screwed to the underside of the bumper so when it's removed you won't see the holes. I'll run a skim of sikaflex round the back to hold it tight, doubt they will have a look under there when inspecting it!
I believe that it is only until the engine has been tested under the WLTP regulations, and that it will then be available again from September production...
...but that is an educated guess based on minimal information we have been given so far!
Scrogg,
I've just had to raise this with my dealership as they weren't aware of any changes.
Thanks for the info.
