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"!!!

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!!
