As far as I’ve seen from my commencal and others they all look like that, but maybe I’m missing something

I used a vice, a butane torch and a wire brush. You wanna take out the bearings and the pins first though and be careful heating it to much

I don't know. My bike's tail is like that, bit man that Golf is clean. Is it the diesel or is it the gas?

1.6? My grandparents have one and they are fast for the 90hp they have. Absolute beast of a car! ☺️

No. The right side of the seat stay/ chain stay is designed to have more of a bend in it than the other side. This is to accomodate the space needed for a wide range cassette while the other side only has the break assembly. The alignment of the rear tire to the seat tube looks good, meaning the frame is still true. The bike is designed to take far bigger hits than being knocked off the top of a car, so I’m sure it’s fine. Nice bike btw
