Noticed again how thin the lacquer looks on the Austins and how I really have no confidence in the long term durability of their finish. The lacquer almost looks like crazy paving in places but probably not bad enough to warrant a dealer visit despite how well cared for they are (and boy are they a pain in the arse to clean).
Also noticed again that the NSR brake calliper is flaking more paint, again despite very good care.
Will possibly get a touch up pen in flat red to keep on top of it.
PS, does anybody know how much dealer discounts are available on VW accessories? My dealer is as tight as a ducks posterior so I'll have to search further afield...
