When I ordered mine in May 2005 (Jeeze! that's 5 years ago already), I was given the option on DSG of flappy paddles or not.
My car was built the week starting 11th July 2005 (aren't I a saddo to remember that - I can't remember the date of my wedding, but now being divorced helps) and is a Build-06 car delivered and plated August 05.
I think that July is normally the annual spec change date in Wolfsburg.
