If they know that is! I bought mine from a VW Garage, and it came with 1 years warranty, after a few months owning it, I got the front bumper smoothed. Took it to VW last week and had a new switch fitted under warranty no questions asked.

It shouldn't invalidate yor warantee as long as you use a competent VAT approved garage

[ModifiedMadness]

I also read the terms & conditions on the warranty booklet thing and couldn't see any mention of the words modifications and void?
