It will now rain for 40days and 40 nights. :wink:



Just a shame about this on the front bumper and a few other marks on the rear spoiler and passenger side doors above the door handles. :sad:

As Kev would say: Careless CNUTS!
Have you asked them to fix the marks?

I got them to deliver it and you should have seen the muck on it. I had to snow foam it to get to see the colour  :grin: plus i was not there when it was delivered as i had to go into work this morning. :sad: I would not have spotted it anyway due to the dirt i bet, I could see it has been sitting around for near a month at the docks then at the dealers due to its colour.
Most the other marks will i think polish out. This one im not so sure of.

Do VW not underseal under the wheel arches anymore as it just looks the same paint as in the boot floor behind the suspension strut?
The paint also seems to finish halfway into the joint on the wings to the windscreen pillar and give that same paint finish as the boot foor? odd.

PS
Oh and i did not get the GTI wallet (just a VW black one) or the topup oil.
Im still yet to drive it lol apart from parking it in the garage  :grin: It does seem to have a highish tickover of about 1200? and i think but i have to double check it i think my rear lights are on all the time :undecided:
If it would stop pissign down i may drive it  :grin:

My boot floor is pink!
Cannot see other thing you mentioned.
What I did notice is that the offside bonnet edge lies slightly below the edge of the front wing.
Not major. Spoke to the dealer and they will get it sorted on Monday.

Had a careful look though it is a bit difficult in fading light.
(1) Paint finish where 'A' pillar 'joins' the upper trailing edges of front wings is fine. Maybe with metallic paint the colour variation seems a bit more?
(2) Pink boot floor!
(3) Pink paint finish behind the front struts but very difficult to see even with the wheels turned to maximum due to black cladding in wheel arches.

Must get that bonnet re-aligned on Monday!

Im a bit worried about the paint  :undecided:

Same as above on all counts

Had my bonnet re-aligned today, very quick job and sorted. Would recommend body shop people to do it not mechanic.
