Disgusting!

I had a Michelin 12V one which kept blowing the fuse on my old car

Glad you got it sorted in the end, will have to get mine updated with the revised software. I have not had any probs yet though but i have only done about 5k, did you notice a change in performance with the update? No, no performance update over-and-above the original remap, but it restored my rema...

Sell it

You worry far too much!

Sounds like your dealer has given you a typical bulls*it excuse! Discolouration after 2 months of ownership is simply unacceptable! I've not had any problems with my CW, always parked outside, owned it for over a year.

Go to a decent wheel refurbisher like The Wheel Specialist and get just the one refurbished. Trust me, they can match it to within 99.9999%! I had mine done and it looked completely OEM. As the wheels are not immediately next to each other, there is no way you'd notice if the colour match was not 10...

Ryy, apologies for being involved in taking this thread off topic. Didn't mean to cause any friction, sorry.

Got them fitted yet Ian_Mac?

IMHO it doesn't matter how many mirrors you've got, how many blue lights and how loud the sirens are that we've got, poeples driving these days is getting more ignorant. Sure iAmbu will agree. If we're behind you. just indicate to the left it helps so much in knowing you've seen us and we can look ...

I know - I drive them

When I'm on the dark stretch of road that has no lights near my house, I notice as my car is lower, the lights also hurt in the wing mirrors. BANG, switch to fold. Awesome! My own dark cocoon. No dazzling lights. Love this car for little things like this. Mirrors are designed to see things behind y...

Innit.

If you are quoted £30-£80 (approx) that will most likely be for a localized repair/refurb of the wheel, where only the area of damage and immediate surrounding area is tackled. A complete refurb like I had done by thewheelspecialist involves sandblasting the entire wheel back to the alloy, and refur...

That's what I was thinking too!!

Ordered mine from local VW dealer, due in Tuesday

Its gonna be driven from dealership based in birmingham to Carlisle will be meeting the driver in Carlisle so yes it will be dirty with the snow! I think it should be ok, or maybe take it for a quick car wash when the driver arrives to make sure car is at should be. If you want the paintwork to rem...
