Question Tatty looking Whiteline ARB

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone else has purchased a Whiteline rear ARB and found it a bit shabby looking when they got it out of the box - some of the coating has been damaged on the corners and is flaking off.

Not really a problem, and I know it will not be seen under the car. Gonna just spray the exposed metal with some hammerite. And I know that as soon as it is fitted it will be covered in mud and rain and crap. But for the price you pay shouldn't it be spanky and new?

Just a little moan really! Still going to fit it and love the difference it makes!!

Cheers all

Dave.

That is normal!
The blue paint on mine came off after about 6 months and the car is only used in the summer.

Just painted mine in black Smoothrite.

Good job they work so well!

Excellent. I'll get back in my box!!

Now, I'd better write out 100 times "I must not moan - it's not big and it won't win me any more friends"!!!

They were blue about 3 years ago, and went to silver about 18 months back to look better.
Paint still comes off!

Must be Whiteline products, I noticed the paint coming off my Whiteline strutbrace at the edges. So I had the ends powdercoated, and now looks cool as fu6k.

To be honest, I think they get such a battering during transit that they don't stand a chance.

Of course, it doesn't help that they come without any type of padding in the thinest of thin boxes! And most delivery drivers do not treat boxes with the greatest of tender loving care!!
