Sorry to continue with this, but I thought you might be interested to see how bad the deformation is around the number plate area.

That's not good Asker.  :sad:

Apart from that though it's a fine looking example of a GTI  :smiley:

I'll have a look at mine when I've shifted all the junk I've blocked the car in with.

That looks horrible.  Have you pointed this out to the dealer yet?

Ten letters and ten pictures to Supplying Dealer VW Inchcape Telford, the Warranty Manager at VW Inchcape West London and the bodyshop ARC in Park Royal, London in the last 2 days. Snoopy's pictures have also been provided. He has been a great help. Thanks Snoops. :smiley:
The bodyshop's indecision as to what has caused this has led to this whole saga. The guy I normally deal with was on holiday.
Inchcape London have now passed this on to VW Technical.
The Warranty Manager has been confused by the bodyshop initially saying it could be due to the process of attaching the numberplate or the result of an accident. Now the bodyshop might be changing their story and feel it is a moulding problem.
The Warranty Manager has decided not to make a decision for it to be a warranty issue as she is now obviously a bit confused and has referred the matter to VW Technical.
I am therefore stuck in the middle of this process. :angry:
Totally peeved off to say the least. :sick: :angry:

I see exactly what you mean now. That's awful mate and it must bug the hell out of you  :angry:

I hope it gets resolved for you soon.

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.
