You mean on the wheel drum between your alloy and the brake disc?
If so, then I can confirm that mine is exactly the same (MY97).

It's a shame really, cause they looked nice and shiney when I had my brakes done.

It's caused by the heat from the brakes......so not really any cure

could stop using the brakes....strange how one side is so badly affected while other is almost unmarked

More water/muck gets on the offside perhaps? I know my car gets dirtier on the passenger side but I do tend to use back roads a lot more than major routes.

Why not paint them with caliper paint or hammerite - I did mine in about 45 mins a side - much better that having people take the **** about having a rusty old scoob!!!!!

Mine have gone like that at the back aswell, fronts were bad but I had my discs replaced

I'm thinking of painting mine back to silver at the back, good idea using hammerite, I think they do a spray aswell with a smooth finish.
Thats my Saturday morning task sorted then!
