Bit puzzled here - your profile gives year of car as 2019 but picture shows a pre-facelift聽Mk 7 that looks as if it may have had a bump? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I've come across this before on the mk7. It's very hard to get the bonnet, bumper and headlight lined up properly. From my experience, when it gets a front end bump, the bumper gets replaced but the bonnet is just left as it is because it starts getting expensive replacing it. Either the bonnet is buckled or the headlight bracket needs a bit of modifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
