Made use of my sons sickness bug and decided to wash the car today instead of going out for the day

Noticed that the silver paint was wearing a bit thin on the grill,

Has anyone else noticed this happen? And what did you do

Replace or respray  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

That happened on my old FL2, I put it down to a crap paint finish, come to think of it my D4 had a crap paint finish too

What is it with LR's  ______________________

Guessing your right, paint is not the top of the list in what I like about the car


At least the rest of it is shiny  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

No such problem here. There's only one stone chip in 51,000 miles too.

Much as I liked my old MINI, a simply gave up trying to keep in top of the stone chips and gave up counting!

Stone chips are all over the bonnet but the grill has patches were the paint it do thin there's area of black coming through

I should have snapped a photo Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm going to nip out and check mine.....

Front of mine is peppered with stone chips and there is silver paint missing on the grill.

So do I respray or HST grill it  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If you have stone chips on bonnet and funds allow, maybe respray. 2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

Bonnet has chips, white has white primer so not as visible

It's the fading silver with black showing through on the grill that's more annoying  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Probably been a stone chip and then exacerbated with the jet wash + a crap paint job = looking grill  ______________________
