If VW people scan these pages (I'm a suspiscious barsteward) they will be able to link the letter you posted to the attempted rectification work and wriggle out of furthering your repair. I'd put it on hold till you know what's happening

Thank you both.
He's coming to have a look tomorrow and knows the score. He's also quite clued up about VW and especially VWCS. He's fixed a couple of bumpers for VW dealer's in this way.

Guy came to see the bumper.
He said that the deformation is bad and has been there from date of production.
Doubtful if heat tretment would help as it is permanently deformed.
Best for VW to attend to it and remedy it.

Did he give you any sort of written statement to that effect? If so, it would be worth sending to VWCS.

No and I did not ask.
However, the VW Bodyshop are going to sing from the same hymn sheet. :smiley:
