I don't think you do...the car started life as a 1.6 GTI but he decided to do what others said couldn't be done, fit the the G40 lump..

I agree with madness, seems there was a rust patch and they have lifted the area with the jetwash and water has got in under the lacquer, this really could go either way, I suggest a nice polite letter and see how it goes.
