^Thanks. I get nothing but complements on the colour when people see it in real life. Its normally the first thing anyone says when they first see the car for the first time. Its Just a shame photos never show how it really looks in real life.

It really is an amazing colour. Makes the car look more expensive.

You may notice the VW fox (you know the cheap ands cheaply made vw) also have a similar shaped number plate cutout. The one i looked at and was behind on the way home yesterday looked flat.

I have a feeling that GTis betwen BW7 and BW9 have had a rear bumper pressing fault.
Yours and mine are the same BW. Can't remember the exact BW but it's betwen 7 and 9.

Try contacting some of the guys on

As H12's GTI for example was on the same boat as mine and made more or less the same time.

If that's an accepted truth, then VW should recall and repair all the cars affected.

They've admitted that this deformation is standard production. Now that was stupid. I have now produced a comprehensive dossier to prove that this is incorrect. I will send this later today with a very strongly worded letter. There will try anythig and everything to avoid paying. But they are not getting away with it. I've got the bit between my teeth. :smiley:
