stone chips!!

[rskardon]

mine is peppered!! bonnet, bumpers, 05 45k miles/

Mines 05, 50k, bonnet isnt too bad, though has a few chips, the bumper though is peppered too, though i would rather shove wasps up my arse than have a bonnet bra on my car, they look plain nasty, if i did anything it would be using clear film solutions, but they dont look great in the sun either,

Hi mate, I got the front bumper done under warranty yep.

The bonnet has quite a few chips on there now, but its just wear and tear. i dont think VW would do anything about it.

Ive filled about 10 chips in

How on earth did you get your chips done under warranty?

the only chips i have on my bonnet are these

I think he had premature paint failure or something so the paint hadn't been properly applied in the factory, which he managed to prove.

Bit of thread revival what do most people go with when filling in stone chips? Halfrauds stuff or do vw do their own? Car is reflex silver.

Thanks in advance.

Mine is absolutely peppered in chips, keep meaning to give this stuff a whirl, seems to be well recommended...

That looks interesting a bit scary if it didn't come off though! Anyone used this or any alternatives?

Yeah could be a bit nail biting to say the least 
Quite a few over on detailing world have used it to great success with no probs and i just missed out on another group buy there last week

Hi all im just wondering how your bonnets are looking on your golfs and how many miles have you done? my car is 12 months old next month (15k) does some motorway miles but mostly town driving. The bonnet seems to have quite a few chips coming. its starting to worry me a bit as i intend to keep the car long term and i dread to think what the bonnet is going to look like in 3/4 years time 
JPC did you get a successful claim ? if people could post pictures that would be even better.

thanks :)

...........water based paint = soft as siht.

This looks like worth a try...can't seem to find a Blue Graphite kit for the GTi 

[DMcG]

Someone shold approach them re a group buy?

[NEWEY]

in the end i just had my bonnet re-sprayed as they were annoying me that much but i have 3 or 4 that have come back :(

[Ifti]

or go one further


 

Looks nasty!
That car looks like its going to scrape across the road, and the owner is worried about stone chips!!

Carbon bonnet as I mentioned back in August last year......they just bounce off. No chips on the bonnet, no need to re-spray and saves weight!

You can only really get away without spraying the bonnet on a silver, white or black car though

For the stone chips I get on the front of the car I had some paint matched up and I use that when I need to.
