Clubsport front bumper grill help
« on: 15 December 2023, 15:27 »
Hi everyone,

Bit of a nightmare collection going on with my brand new clubsport. I have found the front bumper/ grill isn’t clipped in properly on both sides. Would anyone mind taking a detailed photo of theirs so I can check how it should look? It’s hard to tell off stock images on the internet.

It’s this area:



Currently: MK8 GTI Clubsport - DCC - Reflex Silver - Adelaide 19"s - Rear Camera

Can't the dealer just fit it properly up to them to sort it.

Yes they will, but I’d like to make sure they do it properly if you know what I mean, to compare

Thank you

Terrible collection experience. Wrong mats were in the car, the technician had damaged the plastic grill when he clipped it back in so that needs replacing. Missing engine cover - however this is a known issue. And they swapped a tyre over before collection (I had no idea) and after 1 mile of driving from the dealer the loss of pressure warnings went off, so had to go back and find out what happened and if it was a puncture. Turns out nobody reset the pressures after the new tyre fitting.

Hmmm so annoying when it's avoidable stuff. :sad:

It's almost like they take customers for granted.
