What's up with it?
Are they painting it for a 5th time or is it just the alignment that's not right?

Painting it for the 5th time (probably mainly around the edges) and blending-in with the quarter panels.
Also, painting offside edge of front bumper as the paint came off due to a touch-up by them and for it not being baked.
I am driving a Polo for 3-4 days. Loverly. :sick:

Is this 5 times with the same bodyshop?
I'd be going off my head by now. How many attempts are you going to allow them to fix it?
You must have plenty of patience.

Yeah, with the same VW approved bodyshop.
I have nearly lost the will to live.
They won't get paid by VW if the job is not done to my satisfaction!

All fixed perfectly. In fact, both bumpers better than new.
Delighted.
The end!

Driving all over the place for the last few hours. VW also turned on my Tyre Pressure Monitor.
Totally chuffed.
