-
Where did you get it done? Mine is going in to sevenoaks vw in 3 weeks!
-
:surprised: Id go and kick up a storm!! Milk the darn dealers for their sloppy work
-
oh I have got could believe it headlights feel like they covered in sand paper its shocking really is makes it worse I detailed it before it went it to gutted :scared:
-
This means your wings were not replaced, they were just repaired. VW states corroded wings should be replaced. Go back and ask them to do it properly or the rust will just come back.
-
going of what you've said mate, they've obviously not even stripped the car down before hand either, so the chances of the laquer peeling of in the future are very good. the bumper wanted dropping off, and the lights out and inner arch liner so they can get right into it so that dosn't happen. they have no idea when doing this it's somebody's pride and joy there wrecking. all their interested in is making bonus for turning around as fast as they can. i hope for your sake the actual paint work is good, as if it isn't they'll have to blend into ther doors now if they do it again.
-
they have had the wings off mate for sure as you can see where the all the screws have been taken off the car I think it must be from another car they paint or doing close by or something as they are definitely new wings
-
well after making a complaint to the manager saying I am in doubt the wings were replaced low be hold my old wings turned up at my house this morning with a letter saying should be returned to vw after my inspection which I thought was odd but I will take them and ask for the over spray I think it is from when they blended doors to new panels but they going to rectify it all on Tuesday coming willup load picture when it back
-
Ignoring the over spray, how is the paint? I'm having mine done soon and hoping they blend them as I don't want a dodgy colour match. Which paint shop was this? Btw over spray will come off the lights pretty easily
-
the paint match and blend was very good to be honest and finish was very good on wings just a pity about rest off it mate it was lookers vw Boston that did it
-
If you're in doubt about the wings being replaced, open the bonnet and on the overlap where the wing gets bolted down it should have a 4 digit stamp of wing production (MMYY).
