l dont really get this Pitted lingidy....what is exactly is that...yeah they need a good polish but l never had the time mate to knock them off today and give them a good seeing too....lol
l used some werkstat prime on them a couple of weeks ago,it eventually got the worst of the soot off...and they washed up reasonably well all things considered

When I took mine off I had a look at them under a microscope(not the 'CSI' type lol) but an inspection type..Any way the chrome around the bottom of the rim resembled 'swiss cheese' it really is a very poor chrome job on these tips....Will have a word with my dealer regarding warranty etc...

Me?? Never.......................
Yes mate. The front suspension spring upper coil sits inside a cup the inside of this cup is a steel bearing so that the coil doesn't turn against a rubber surface. Then above this bearing cup is a bigger cup made of fairly solid rubber - the shock absorber bolts to this then the top cup (the upper strut mount) bolts to the body via 3 bolts to the inner wing.

@jassyo06
Hopefully you can see an example off minor pitting on my chrome pipes below around the rim... 1500miles old and is likely to only get worse, which is pretty **** poor.
@pburv
Good Luck mate... went to the stealers today and was fogged off and told it will happen and to use meguiars NXT metal polish
they'll tell you anything to not ensure they don't have to payout...

I had mine cleaned at my local shopping centre.
Not sure I'll ever bother to clean it myself.
Not taken a pic of it yet either.....

Put the dog in the back. Let her roll around on the seats.
Drove her around plymouth sight seeing. That's her idea of a walk not mine.
Ate some McDonald's. She did too. Left the wrappers and slobber on the seats.
Moved some boxes from my house to another house. To another garage.
Generally made the interior look like a waste bin. Couldn't really care less tbh...
Oh wait no. That's the other car. The Mrs wracked up 120 miles to go work today in the s3!

Bit embarrassed to say this, me being Jassy the anal detailer...but its first time l have ever cleaned me ....tips proper like, with some Gtechniq metal polish,
I'll still take proper care of the wife's, it's getting a good clean tomorrow.
They do a pretty good job at the centre too, although never to my exacting standards, but the time it gives me back is the win.
We go in for a brunch or a morning coffee and come back from that and the cars (pretty much) clean.
Almost win, win.
Aye just in time for the wedding season picking up.....lol,....aye you Daytona boys have been hard at it the past 2 days.......................Another one of mine...............yeah I know it looks like one I took last time round but it is today honest............. lol

Re read my last post.
Yup. That again.
Next week she is taking the other car to work. I haven't driven the s3 in weeks now! Damn woman.
Although I've decided to get the turbo techs intake hose rather than the cts!
