i know, there are probably about 15 odd chips on the whole bonnet of which these are the worse

Ouch! They are bad! I think your perfectly in your right to moan at honda about it...although im not sure of the response you will get?

Chipped through to the metal and you haven't touched them up.

I don't think you'll get anywhere.

Ouch! I hate stonechips.

You won't get anywhere with Honda, they can't control stonechips (though they can make better paint!) its like trying to blame them for someone opening car door onto yours and denting it.

You should of touched them up as soon as you noticed them - sorry.

I don't think they are 'stone chips'. Looks more like someone has had a go with a screwdriver!!

I would treat the rust with KURUST before it worsens, then contact 'Chips-away' (or similar company) to have them filled and sprayed professionally.

Have a look at their website:
