A member on another forum with a mk7 / mk7.5 Golf GTI or GTD (can’t remember which) was recently rear-ended and pushed into the car in front. A new front bumper was one of the parts needed to repair their car and they were also told that GTI / GTD front bumpers are on back order.

Update:  repairs are authorised by the insurance company, full front bumper assembly with all the ancillaries. Plus a “front loom” and new grill/ACC radar.  Been told to expect a 3-4 wait to availability of parts and the need for the body shop to take it to VW for coding after completing the work.  In the mean time I have a Vauxhall Adam

Not really, the fastest car on the road is a hire/courtesy car that you couldn't car less about. Just like the Peugeot 208 I had in the IOM last week. :evil:
