Thanks all. Yeah the car is how it should have been in the first place. Trouble free.

Although on its first wash that I gave it the other day, I noticed the bumper wasn't sitting flush with the wing. On further inspection, the spoiler that goes under the bumper was scuffed so it looks like its rolled into a high kerb and moved the bumper ever so slightly.
Looking at the photo I took in the handover room you can just make out this gap between wing and bumper so it looks like the car came like that!!!!!
I'm currently in talks with the dealer as its the usual, "There is no way it happened before you picked up the car"  :sad:

I think its jinxed.  :cry:

Just read the whole thread and always good to see a happy ending :laugh:.

I'm getting ready to send my 18 month GTI PP off for detailing.  I bought mine second hand and on first sight you think the paint is great but then during the first hand wash you start to notice things.  Being metallic black the swirls show up much more than when I owned silver cars.  I use invisible touch detailing based in Surrey.  They did a great job on my Corrado VR6 Storm a few year's ago.

I'm considering getting mine professionally detailed so good to hear of a local recommendation. It'd be great if you could post your opinions once it's been done (and a few pictures too!).
