Ooops, I know the bloke who designed that grommet.
It's also used on Bentley Arnage. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

had a look at mine and you can see the outline of the rubber on the paint/dirt, but no actual wear on the paint.

Just took a look and no marks at all. I don't clean that area but it all looks very clean.
Oh, and mine is 'THAT' colour which, allegedly, isn't a colour. So, basically, the same paint as Pinkies.

i'm guessing you need rain to carry the dirt on to the rubbers and thus leave a mark Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

12 months old, definitely some marks that a wet finger wouldn't remove, so looks like light wear. In for a service in two weeks so will raise the question, but methinks I'll be wrapping something around those tubes.
