TT Order Issue
I had an issue last week because 2 months ago I configured my TT and placed an order for June build September delivery 2015 model. On Wednesday of last week dealer called saying Porsche middle east cancelled all 2015 allocations so in effect my order got cancelled.
Was furious. Luckily the dealer has a cancelled order that arrived which is 95% similar to my custom order. So I have to live without PDCC, stitched seats, power steering plus, adaptive cruise control and reverse camera. The car also has a different wheel (car came with cf with gear change buttons....I ordered alcantara sport design with paddles) and seatbelts (came black...I ordered racing yellow) to my configuration that the dealer agreed change for me. The car also has painted PCM (yellow) which looks horrible IMO so they are changing that whole thing for me to the standard black. Also insisted on painting the red brakes yellow to match the racing yellow color and window tinting and protective film on bonnet as part of the deal. They accepted so I'm going down tomorrow morning with my chequebook.
So looking forward to taking delivery of my new 2014 TT in the next week or 2 hopefully.

To be honest: I wouldn't do it! When I read 95% similar I thought: okay. But all the things you listed that are different...To me it sounds like a completely different car apart from the color...plus options like PDCC and the steering wheel are the most important options for the car..

The smaller things I can live without to be honest. Car has chrono which is important to me and which cannot be added by the dealership!
