Wheel Woe!
Picked up brand spanking new STI last thursday, crystal grey and had got the dealer to paint the wheels silver ... all going well until I went outside today to find my silver wheels were now flaking and were becoming increasingly gold!! ... Not only that, but my front number plate appeared to have "fallen off" somewhere other than my drive ...
Got onto the dealer and I'm sure they initially thought I was some dizzy cow who had curbed the wheels etc in order to see the gold ... anyway took it in ... an army of workshop guys surveyed the problem ... diagnosis ... some muppet in the paint shop had forgotten to prep the wheels therefore there was nothing for the new paint to stick to!!!!!!! Humble apologies followed and I the wheels were hastily swapped for a set of gold ones whilst they fix the problem! ... and the number plate was replaced for free too ... too bloody right!!!
Just to round it all off ... another speeding ticket in the post this morning so now have 6 points ... no road angel in the old car ...
Can I cry now????
No ***** jokes please guys!!!!

i think the "*****" has taken a liking for your scoob, its taking a **** on the rear bumper.
cant believe a subaru dealership has made a **** up to that degree,........ appologies...... financial compensation is what you should demand.
