UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Yeh,

Well this is the problem, i cant tackle fixing it myself AT ALL cause im not technically minded, and it would just be made worse (i'm only 17).

Named driver, so no no-claims anyway, and its essentially my parents car (i drive it, but they insure it for the $$$) so me or my parents dont loose our no claims.

Cause its their car, they want it to be done by Volkswagen, as they're the kind of people who think if its not done by VW, some cowboy will do it, and do it wrong.

The car has to last me some time, so to be honest, in the spoiled way , im gonna let my parents sort it out, and just sit back and wait till i have my polo back, unless the insurance company chose to write it off.

But its3 years old, and its done 27,000 miles, and its a 1.2 so thats gota be worth more than £2,067, surely

That was a long reply

yea i see what you mean

Depends upon your dealer, but a majority of VW dealers give the job to one of their contracted company's anyway. I nominated Citygate VW to replace my rear bumper after someone went into me last year whilst stationary. I found that my car was given to another bodyshop to do the job on behalf of VW.

Although it was pretty much perfect in the end, it wasn't as perfect as you'd expect VW to do it first time round. It went back to them three times until i was happy with the quality.

Now, a year later the paint is showing fine hair-line cracks . I need to go and get them to sort this out as they give you a 3 years guarantee on it. But I'm sure ill probably just get excuses from them
