Hey guys i finally got my rocco from germany, its originally from italy looking at the maintenancr book but all looks ok from the inside, soon gonna give him a proper check up in a vw garage here in Belgium
I am wanting to know your advice on some scratches i got on the bodywork, one abovr wheelcase and the black one at the rear best to let a profesional take a look at it or can you guys recommend me something?

You're going to need a bodyshop for that mate. The scratches on the bumper are through to the plastic and the marks on the wheel arch look like someone has tried touching them up. Not worth trying to sort it yourself imo.

First picture looks like a paint transfer. It might come off with the correct solvent..

If it is paint transfer then removal via polishing would be the best way.

I would just take it to a bodyshop if you want it looking better to be honest.
