My Roc R

Got my Scirocco R couple of months back and absolutely love it.
Went from a 09 Megan RS to this and glad I made the decision!
My front grills and DRL's got stolen off the roc from my drive a few weeks back. I'm 99.9% sure it was stolen to put on another car as they only stole the grill and the DRL's, no wiring or anything. Thank god as VW quoted a price of £1000 for JUST the wires on their own!
... VW were great in assisting, but tried to sell me a completely new bumper, grills, lights etc which in total cost £1980 (inc labor).... Luckily my GF's Dad is a certified VW mechanic and he had a look at it. He said I didn't need a new bumper so I got a refund on practically all the parts and labor work from VW.
Thankfully the final cost to me was only around £250 and a few days later the roc looked fresh again!
The whole thing shook me up pretty bad though, I now park it locked in my garage... just glad they didn't steal the car completely!
The grill is proper easy to remove, it just pops out... and the lights well, they are just unclipped! Watch out guys!
