I got back off holiday ready to pick the car up yesterday and I was told the car was still in pieces but all painted. They had taken the wings off and sanded them (as per VW UK instructions) and found a repair was not possible so had to re apply for good will for new wings as per the procedure. They also found rust on the passenger seal, which is good, so now both of them have been done but this also required an application for good will as well.
The cause for the car not being ready was due to one of the wings being on back order and it didn't arrive until the end of last week. Due to them having the car for over a week and them "over shooting" the agreed return date, they allocated me a courtesy car. It should be finished and I'll have it back by the end of the week as they only have to bolt it all back together and clean/polish it.
Here's the new toy for a few days, a 1.2 Polo, not a bad car for what it is, especially as the last courtesy car was a matiz, but don't like the beige interior
