s4dreamer Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Mine's in its box at the mo, and the missus keeps asking me when I'm going to swap it for the dealership keyring I got with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Any picture`s? Also did you get your brolly? Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Yep, brolly, keyring and pen. Actually, the keyring isn't really that special - my Audi rings keyring is far, far better. However, I can't really complain as the whole lot were freebies from VW.

shao_khan Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I was supposed to be going in their earlier in the week, but unfortunately work got in the way. Will try to get in on Friday to buy myself a nice matching cap for the car. I use my keyring - didnt see the point of it sitting in a box. DOnt use the brolly as it is crappy girly sized one that barely creates a shadow over my tummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gti_Fly Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Personally having got the keyring, and seen the umbrella and pen, I wouldn't bother getting into a fuss over the bits. They are just plain crap/poor quality etc. The keyring is soso, nothing to write home about, the umbrella (like everyone has said) is crap - too small, and well cheap feeling anyway (so what if it has R32 printed (poorly) on the handle and the pen - WOW a pen... Try and get your dealer to throw in something else for free instead mate, like some headlamp protectors or some rubber mats to go over the lovely R32 ones (essential in this current climate!)

shao_khan Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I am not even vaguely suprised VW wont help - why they call them customer services I dont know - as they never do anything for anyone I know that has spoken with them.

Smudge Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 My understanding ref. the freebies is that it is down to the dealer to order them on your behalf. They do use your VIN No. as proof of the car being an R32 & not some Saddo V6 4Mo owner who's jealous!! But as per almost everyone else here, I don't really think the freebies are worth the hasle. Both my pens were in the handbook (might be worth a check guys) & I got the keyring & brolly with the lemon. Wasn't really arsed with the new car, so I haven't bothered to chase. The site Riz linked to did (or possibly still does) have a big Racing Golf brolly (golf as in sport & not the car!) on the site. That looked worth the punt, bar that I think I'd stay merchandise free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
