New T6.1 order - what colour should I get?

[Long tall John]

Bright orange would show the logo off well. there’s a lot of people won’t like it but I do. Depends whether it would fit with your corporate image

Hi all my van goes into build next week apparently after a 10 month wait. Is it too late to change the colour ? Gone cherry red. But now prefer fortana. Or will it delay the build even more? Thanks

ask the question to your supplier quickly but that's a good call to have the color changed to Fortana

Hi, I decided to change from a passenger bench seat to a single. The answer i got was quite frustrating, according to the dealer my van was in a locked in price, and although the seat option is free there has however been 3 prices increases, if I were to go ahead with the change of option it would unlock the deal and cost a further £1400 ordered June 21 and have no build date as of yet not sure if the guy just couldn’t bother or if it is actually the case, sticking with the bench lol.

Too late. Just asked the van centre. I prefer cherry red any way. Haha

The van centre said I’d have to order a new one at current prices for delivery next summer if I want fortana

 

[Mud Digger]

was the Fortana color available when you placed your order

cant see why it would be a problem its not been built yet. What if you rang Germany direct

you have a build code .... someone might know better in here

Hi yes fortana was available. But I had a cherry red 2.5 years ago and fancied another. The van centre just said it’s at an Un amendable status ?

I tried to change the colour of my new van a few weeks after ordering it back in March.....I was told it was too late and not possible ...dont you just love the VW system!

Having been on the end of ‘we’ve changed our mind again’ several hundred times I can understand why VW don’t make changes.
Big transaction, make your mind up, put your order in.

Suspect the dealers take the easy route, they have your order. I asked to add LED headlights, told it was too late as van build had started. When I called up to arrange to collect the van they advised me it was delayed and had not been started yet.......

Understand what your saying but when your waiting about 10 months before the build even starts I suppose it can be human nature to have a change of mind ?

I wouldn’t have got to 10 months, I‘d be asking for my money back after 4.

Any sign of things going back to normal in the next 12 months ? ie order a van and get it in a couple of Months ?

Probably not but there’s more incentive for VW to get there quicker with the money in our pockets not theirs.

 

[Ricardo T]

The colour I've chosen will of gone out of fashion by the time I get my van!

Nah, Indium Grey will always be the top colour.

Need to look into the Crystal Ball and see what’s next on the crisis list.
Lack of steel, paint, copper, rubber, some other type of chip.
I think this will run for a while yet
