Brand new Wolfy damaged!

[Schvengb]

My brand new Wolfy was rear-ended on the freeway by some d***head who was “changing the radio”! Front and rear damaged.
I hadn’t even put my own scratch on it yet

I hope they can replace with new panels and match the oryx white perfectly.

[Mr T.]

Ouch. Heart goes out to you.

Oh no!!

[rambleforce]

Oh no, the worst nightmare! Heart sank seeing that photo. Hope you get it sorted, let us know how it goes

+1 on the commiserations.

Bit of strength in the old VW badge though.

Terrible luck.
Good luck with the repairs.

Commiserations. I hope you get it back to the way it was with a minimum of fuss.


"Changing the radio" !!! Yeah, right. More likely texting or otherwise using their smart phone & not watching what was happening ahead of them.

On a related topic, your rear number plate is mounted below the bumper, mine (7.5 MY18 built june 2017) is on the tailgate. Is that a running change to the 7.5 wagons ? Could complicate matters when looking for spare tailgates and rear bumpers if there are two completely different versions of the same model.

Sorry. But at least they admitted fault.

This hurt me reading this.....

Hoping for all the best.

Ouch ! The same excuse was given to me when my mk1 GTi got hit 20 years ago.
Really feel your pain anger and frustration. Hope it gets fixed soon and is back to being your pride and joy.

Totally sucks but the thought popped in my mind that you’ll probably be the first to see if they can source yourself another Wolfsburg badge!

Too late to be first. I've already got one (as a spare; being an Oz-only special item I thought it prudent to get one now while they are still available, I tend to keep my vehicles for a long time and who knows what the availability will be like in 10yrs+ time ).

Sorry to hear.

You mentioned front is damaged as well - if they end up replacing the front bumper you should ask the repairer to not drill the ugly number plate holder through the new bumper.

Ok so the car is back but unfortunately the repairer didn’t pick up when I said “it’s so new that even I hadnt scratched it” that I’d be picky about the QA on the repair. Back in for another 3 days next week!

One item I couldn’t work out if damaged or not was the removable plastic panel in the middle of the boot when you open it. Can someone please post a non-damaged version of the below....thanks

[Reedy]

Should be flush to the back. This is a Mk7 R.
