Hey Sean - have been to the dealer and had a talk with my salesman. He has done the ground work for me, he was advised not to go with their own VW bodyshop, nor their usual one, but another slightly more expensive one but apparently top quality. They are going to silicon fill it, whatever that means, then rub it back smooth.
Hmmm . . . the cynic in me would suggest they are initially trying to worm out of giving you any proper warranty on their own paintwork!
If I were you, I'd officially task (and pay) the VW main stealer to do it (thus keeping the VW manufacturers warranty), and getting them to sub-contract it out to this other bodyshop. The main stealer
may want a cut of the dosh, or it may cost you a few bob more, but IMHO, it would be worth it to (a) get a good job done, and (b) have the work kept inline with the original warranty!
I'm def going to leave the lowest cut out black much like the US spec cars. Think that looks sweet and will be in keeping with the black skirts and black splitter.
With hindsight, that's exactly what I wish I had done! It will look the muts nuts!
I think I'm going to go for it. Seems like the best option all round, a good independant dealer via VW. Dealer is just confirming warranty but any probs and I'll be back at the dealer to complain. Plus i have the option of refusing the car if it is not right.
I think I returned your echo!!!!!!!!! :embarassed:
By the way, she arrives at the dealer for first peeks on the 15th Feb, and i pick her up at midnight on the 28th feb when the dealer is holding a release bash for 10-12 select customers! Sad but sweet...
WTF - get down there the
day it rolls off the transporter, pitch your tent outside the stealer gates, and hassle them to prep, PDI and Register it
ASAP - OK, OK, OK - I know, you wanna wait for the 07 plate, but that wait sure will be agonising!
