These ****** exhaust tips...

Just got a 2016 S3 and the tail pipes are pitted. I’ve been cleaning with metal polish and it looks like the chrome is coming off in one place. Does this happen?

Yes. Mine are pitted on the inside lip at the bottom. This happened by the time the car was 12 months old and I don’t do many short journeys. I’d try to sort them out but I cannot get them off.
 
I’ve just never known the chrome to start coming off on any previous cars I’ve had. My last car was a mk5 r32, had it 12.5 years and never had a problem

Fair point. I had a Skoda VRS Mk1 for 12 years from new. That was diesel. No particulate filter so dirty chrome tips and they never pitted.
