Hi I've noticed corrision on the drivers side may I please have a copy!  Do both wings get replaced or only the one that's affected? I'll be having a look tomorrow closely at the other side.

Unfortunately it turns out my wings have already been painted before so my claim couldn't be put through. The body shop guy knew of the problem and was happy to put the claim through until the paint reading were taken. Martins of Basingstoke was the dealer.

I think my front wing has had paint so that'll be a no go but my sill tops have rust just below the wings so I'm going to go for that anyway.

The other side has slight rust as well.

I went it my local VW garage on Friday (Murray's Plymouth) and they took photos and the depth checked out. One side has visible bubbling and the other isn't visible but I could feel bubbles through on the underside and the warranty chap said that should be fine as well.
He also said the wings are almost always replaced rather than repaired which is good.

I'm building up to mine, but just noticed the following, have bubbles on the

Front wings
Rear badge
Sills
By petrol flat
And also bottom corners on the skirts where the factory fitted mud flaps are

Clearly there are issues, do I have to just accept all this? Or has anyone had bigger success than just the arches?

Hi guys,

VW dealer has contacted VW for my wings and they have 100% accepted the claim. Great.

Drop it off today and get a call...the sills are corroded where the wings meet them. They state they will replace them at a cost of 200 plus vat. That is with VW contributing 50% apparently. They weren't going to offer anything with the sills at first however I mentioned seeing it being a problem on here and they quickly offered the 50% without talking to VW?? Has anyone got a technical bulletin in relation to the sills?

I also want the bonnet and bumper sprayed at the same time and have been quoted 460 for that which I ll happily pay. Slightly annoyed with the sills though. Need to give them an answer shortly...
