Did they bend the frame or the rocker panel? I find it unlikely theres frame damage unless they dropped your car off the jack onto the ground somehow

Only thing that makes sense because these cars don't have a frame, they're unibody. Rocker panel is an easy fix, everyday body fix at this point it seems for the body shops

Don't people mean the unibody when they refer to "frame damage". Cars have been unibody for like half a century or more.
Yes but i don't see how jacking up a car unless it was dropped hard would mess up "frame" or unibody in any significant form. Probably a missed jack point that messed up the pinch weld which isn't anything major and is in fact an easy fix now a days because so many people mess up

Sorry to hear about that, hope you can get it fixed without problems.
Ya'll are probably right all I know is that the bottom of the passenger side body is curved inwards noticeably. I'll post some pictures later on this week...
thanks everyone for your concerns...on that same note anyone know of any decent aftermarket security systems. really surprised the car's didn't go off...
Sorta like this? The dart guys had some issues with this when either them or the dealer would mess up jacking the car up

Crazy that wheel thieves don’t know proper jack points on vehicles. Even crazier they don’t know that stock Austins are largely unsellable [emoji23]

the OEM system does not seem to have anything more than entry alarm..no tilt/shock.

On that note, I truly hope you get justice and get your body issue sorted. Sucks to hear this happened, man.

For those that this question applies to, how much did you pay to have your rear quarter panels wrapped? A local shop down the road quoted me $500!!! That's way too much in my opinion.
anyone know anything about wrap jobs?

Stupid question here.. How do you remove the front VW emblem on a 7.5? I can't find anything on it. I'm reluctant to just pry it off with the sensor etc.. Thanks.

If you have an S trim:

I believe SE and higher have the sensors while the S doesn’t.
