Whilst zoomed at the light to see if that was scratched/cracked it appears like the rear panel aren't correct as the arch where the two panels meet seems to be misaligned

Looks lovely with the blue sky in the background tho!!
Same thing happened to me with a Golf, they had done some damage while it was in the garage, I didn’t see it but already had a curtesy car.
Dealer gave me 3 years free servicing as an apology, that took various threats of head office and the ombustman to get it in writing!
Ordered 12/03/18 - D4 R Design Pro - Fusion Red.
Build date - 02/11/18 :shock:

Probably the angle of the photo, but the rear panel is no longer flush with the side panel (protrudes by 5-10mm), rear lighting cluster is cracked and the bumper has scars, don’t think it cracked.

Doubt they will replace the panel depends how the CMA system works, probably try and pin back and then some plastic surgery on the bumper and respray the panel, for sure I’ll be asking to see the removed parts and order schedule, but we know what dealers are like.....

Watch this space!

Yep, will certainly try, but you know how these dealers operate...... ;)

Take the car with assurance paint work will be sorted. I’d just want the car.
Not sure I will be trusting the autonomous driving in the future :lol:

You must be gutted can’t believe they managed to do that mine screams like mad when I’m near something, they must be deaf and blind.

What a nightmare. I hope this gets resolved quickly for you.
My wife wanted to order the red. However, when we got to the dealer they said we couldn’t have it as we went for a inscription pro. So we ordered white that we were told would come with a black roof! However, i have now discovered that this cannot be. Emailed the dealership and heard nothing back.

Finally took delivery on Friday and well worth the wait :D

Goodwill gesture from the dealer rubber mats, bootliner, mud flaps and first service so I think I did okay.

Now looking forward to the driving experience......
