Got rear-ended tonight (the car obviously:facepalm:) and got some minor damage to the rear bumper. The bumper skin needs replacement and respray. Prefer to take the car to people that actually work on VW's all the time. Any recommendations will be much appreciated!
Cheers
Which area are you looking at?Quote:

Thanx for the advice!
No worries! Interested in knowing how you go with the repairs, do keep me updated if possible. I have this little scuff mark on the left side of my bumper. Am thinking of going to Charlie as well.Quote:

I have a minor mark in the clear coat on my door from bird poo, and will be an additional $1,000-1,500 as they need to spray it out into the front panel:(, so I'm just going to stick with the repair that the insurance is paying for. Can get it done elsewhere and likely included, but want it done properly so not prepared to compromise trying to get a freebie.
Hmmm....i believe you can use some cutting polish to remove that bird poo mark? As long as you can't see metal, why not give it a go instead of going for the re-spray option?Quote:

Hi, I would assume that you would have got the damage repaired (probably at Charlie's). Could you please let me know about their work? I have scratched the right rear door :face palm: out of sheer stupidity and would like to get it fixed. It is a deep scratch with a small dent accompanying it. Your inputs would be much appreciated!Quote:

Highly recommend them, see Craig if you are interested. Their phone number is 9555 3648 and pricing is very reasonable.
Good luck!
Thanks a lot mate! I would definitely ring them or probably drop in to get a quote. Cheers!Quote:
