Hiya mate,I guess the next stage is for you to meet up with a V.W paint inspector.he'll take your details and some photos of your arches.It's worth having a look at where the arch meets the sill and seeing if there is any rust starting there.There was on mine and this was all done under warranty aswell whilst the wings were off the car.good look :happy2:

I agree with Valvedoctor- have a look at the rusty wing thread he started in this forum section.

I have also visited VW and awaiting to her back from them, so get them to inspect!
