If that looks as good in the flesh as in the pics then that is a great result (and relief)

Whereabouts are the body shop for those who might need some bodywork TLC at some point?

Autofit (Sussex) in Hove, well Fishersgate really.

Brilliant job. I mean its out of panel alignment by about 3mm on the right, where it runs up by the tailgate, but then I'm massively anal.

They hadn't quite polished out all the orange peel around the number plate and rear diffuser, so I mentioned it to them and they whipped it straight back in an sorted it out in 15 mins.

I am well chuffed. I can't believe they managed to rescue it. I honestly thought is was too much for a smart repair, and it was really, but they went over and above for me.

Put it this way, Peter Copper VW Bodyshop quoted £1,100. I paid Autofit £195 and 2 crates of Stella (I thought they deserved it)

Highly recommend them for anyone in Sussex with a VW (they are VW approved)

Oh and my NCB remains intact...

Its plastic. They had to manually melt the plastic back into shape. It was never going to be bang on. That would have meant a box fresh bumper cover. Pretty good bodge they've done though. A blind man would like to see it!!  :wink:
