...When I cleaned it today.

First time for a while and I had almost forgotten it was bright red. Strangest thing was my 'Anthracite' Wheels went gold

I've got a full set of tyre coloured rims! Quite like em so no washing for a while yet.

 

Something else I noticed - My car is 7 years old and hasn't got any stone chips This despite being on 126,000km and being used on an unmade road and the M4 every day.

Does this mean that the paint is worse on new models? They don't make 'em like they used to eh?
