This means your wings were not replaced, they were just repaired. VW states corroded wings should be replaced. Go back and ask them to do it properly or the rust will just come back.

going of what you've said mate, they've obviously not even stripped the car down before hand either, so the chances of the laquer peeling of in the future are very good. the bumper  wanted dropping off, and the lights out and inner arch liner so they can get right into it so that dosn't happen. they have no idea when doing this it's somebody's pride and joy there wrecking. all their interested in is making bonus for turning around as fast as they can. i hope for your sake the actual paint work is good, as if it isn't they'll have to blend into ther doors now if they do it again.

they have had the wings off mate for sure as you can see where the all the screws have been taken off the car I think it must be from another car they paint or doing close by or something as they are definitely new wings

Ignoring the over spray, how is the paint? I'm having mine done soon and hoping they blend them as I don't want a dodgy colour match. Which paint shop was this?  Btw over spray will come off the lights pretty easily

If you're in doubt about the wings being replaced, open the bonnet and on the overlap where the wing gets bolted down it should have a 4 digit stamp of wing production (MMYY).
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
