Well they say its only till you clean a car that you find problems with it.
1st off is a perfectly horizontal scratch above the VW badge on bonnet. Took it back to dealer and they just buffed it out with some cutting paste and then polised it, after the first wash of car polish came off an the paintwork is much lighter where they have used the paste!!!! Its booked in for 2 days to sort this one out, not sure what they are planning but nothing as stupid as that I hope!
2nd After cleaning the rims the other day, I noticed what I thought was kerbing, however on closer inspection its paint peel on the edge of the rims. Felt it a bit closer and you can feel the shockingly bad quality of overspray on the rim. Its obviously been damaged at some point and they have repaired it and re-sparyed, but the paint is lifting, its a good colour match but looks really crap and orange peel. I can't blame the delaer for this, as I guess it could have been done in transit, Even still its being sorted, new rim I hope.
3rd I have rusty rims, and car hasn't done 1k yet!
4th I have a stone chip on wing, near bonnet!
New car woes.

just got my car back from stealers about the rusty Hubs, i pointed out mainly the rears had rust, but after receiving it back , they have done all 4 F.O.C.

Rusty Rims?
Do you mean hubs?
-
Yeah sorry I mean Hubs!
I might mention it to them when it goes in, I wouldn't expect it to be a warranty item though.

I think that's quite a result, Phil :grin:
I reckon you're the only person I've heard of who's got their dealers to accept any responsibility for rusty hubs.... well done!
Me, I just got the Smooth Hammerite out :smiley:
