Flash Red - Polo 6R, Exessive stone chipping?
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 4:07 pm
I recently bought a 'Flash Red' 1.2 70PS MODA, 2010. There was a fair amount of stone chippings on the bonnet when I bought it but I thought this was normal / acceptable due to the color and the car being 4 years old.
The car had 1 previous owner (mobility). My driving is 50/50 split with inner city roads and a country dual lane dual carriageway.
The reason I post here is because I have checked 2 other Flash red MODA polo's, one being 2009 and another being 2011 registration and both of them had no where near the stone chipping I have. I would say compared to both 09 and 11 have about 75-80% LESS than my vehicle....
I have been driving the car for 3 weeks now and I would say ive picked up a further 15-20 stone chips........
I would call this excessive and quite severe and looking for other opinions?
These images are only of a small area of bonnet.... the roof is also badly effected along the windscreen line.
