Might be worth getting them to stick the number plate on this time.

I think that is a very worthwhile suggestion.

Now the fun will start trying to source a decent bumper! :rolleyes:

Do the job yourself Asker , the number plate mate.

Good news. :smiley:

VW have agreed today for the bumper to be replaced.

All because of the hard work put in by John Wood, Workshop Manager, VW Inchcape, Telford. I must also thank Andrew Poole, Brand Manager, VW Inchcape, Telford.


Good News...at last - well done on your tenacity!

Now they have admitted it and the bumper will be sprayed off the car, I guess they can source and spray the bumpers to their hearts content until you get the one that you are happy with so it won't be long before you get the right one!  :smiley:

I think the problem comes when you screw the number plate on.

Ask them if you can stick the plates on that way they may be straight. :wink:

Well done, your perseverance has paid off :cool: If I were you, I would stick the number plate on using double sided tape, rather than risk drills, screws, or rivets.

Great news mate, success at last. I'm in Tenerife on holiday at the moment hence my lack of activity on here. I shall celebrate your new bumper news with a few beers tonight. Sad but I'm starting to get GTI withdrawals now. Oh well only another 10 days of fun in the sun to get through.
