Bumper Paint Peeling
« on: 19 November 2017, 16:34 »
Anyone else had a problem with paint peeling on the rear bumper?

Only had the car for 6 weeks and 1300 miles so it’s pretty shocking. Surely this must be a warranty job?

I had that, but nowhere near as bad, on my old MK7 GTI. But it quite a bit older than yours and I may have been a bit careless with a pressure washer. I’d deffo go back to VW in your case though.

Bumper/car could have been damaged in transit and been painted, badly.

I’ll give the bumper a good check with a light bar for any signs of repair.

Although I guess it’s a bit pointless now as it’ll need painting again anyway!
