I think they would have offered me a courtesy car but only being 19 they couldn't under their insurance policy! Would have been nice to try something newer! ;)

Went into VW Inch Bathgate yesterday, gave them the keys and waited about for 20 minutes and the guy came back out saying they will replace both wings!

Booked in for 20th November to get them both done, they said it will take a week but hopefully less!

 :happy2: Excellent news. Did they offer you a courtesy car? They only have 3 or 4  but you might be lucky and get one. Think they have a new Jetta, a 1.6 TDI Golf and two up!'s.

Nope, was a bit gutted, said they couldnt offer a courtesy car for paint warranty work?!

....Really? Mine gave me (free of any charges) a new Polo while my wings were being done - 2 days.

I could really do with one, considering I have to go all the way out to bathgate then will have no way to get to and from work, which is a nightmare!

I am due to be taking my golf in aswell as the wings have signs of rust bubbling up, however does anyone know if the rear bootlid badge (55 plate white worm) can be claimed for aswell?

i would have guessed the minimum age would have been 21, and there is usually a small payment towards insurance excesses...
