Looks better than brown oxidisation though :smiley:

looks good anyway

they did the same to my 1st GTi, my 18's were exactly the same, that paint job stood up to a years motoring with any more oxidisation.
Was abit surprised tonight when i collected it, they'd done the outer edge of the brake discs aswell!. didnt ask those to be treated. :shocked:
-
it looks a bit white?! Or is that just the camera flash...?
-
camera flash, they are grey in normal daylight
-
Great job. Better than rust bells. :smiley:

my prev car, seat leon mk2 fr had this too, after market discs go the same way too, only way round it is get alloy covered discs or paint them, surprised VW entertained that tbo.I did it on my last car but cant be ass'd this time.

Looks good - thought the discs had been done. Your dealer is spot on (unlike mine) - have you put a lot of business their way or is just they appreciate good customer service works! Next you will tell us you got R32 for courtesy car :grin:
