I couldn't notice it before in the picture you previously posted and thought you were being exceptionally fussy  :rolleyes:
However I see it now. That is shocking. Its as if the paint hasn't bonded to the plastic and is just floating there.
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Thanks p3. :smiley:

How can you not notice that while inspecting your car before driving it away from the dealers ?

The car was delivered to me in London from Telford. I did notice it but thought it would so on all other cars bring of very flimsy plastic.

Looks exactly like mine did after some kid drove into the back of me. Didnt even scratch the paint.

I`d say its had a bump before you received it mate.

That's quite bad am1w, must be a manufacturing fault, I don't see how that could happen just fitting a number plate. Hope you get it sorted, if it was mine I'd insist on a new bumper.
By the way, off topic, is that your real number plate on your sig? [Never seen a reg with 2 letters 1 number then another letter]

Could it just be that the number plate has been put on wrongly, deforming the plastic? No excuse, mind... :rolleyes:

Does it revert back to normal if you take the number plate off, if so, buy and new number plate and locate the screws in new holes and do it yourself.  Otherwise buy a new plate and stick in on without number plate screws.

Ricks and Danski: No have not been driven into and Snoops has a similar problem though mine is worse.

Froggy and Ajmoir: Done all that with the numberplate. Flat as a pancake behind it. Looks like a moulding problem. Snoops has a similar problem though mine is more unsightly.

Pretty upset with this at present. VW and the bodyshop cannot decide how this has happened and I am caught in the middle.

I'll have the answer today as to whether it is covered by warranty.

RickS: The no plate was the work of Spooner who kindly helped me out with the signature.
