I love my Type R GT

Rocco1 · 9th June 2008, 19:57

I got it shiny and newin October 07 after a 5 month wait... It's Milano Red and I smile like a lunatic every time I drive it, the only issue I have with it is that it seems to have very soft paint and picks up stone chips very easily. I had the gardex paint protection system applied when I bought it hoping it would protect my beautiful new car, has anyone else got this problem???

Welcome to the place.

The chips are just part and parcel of the car - a 'special feature' shall we say

I've got a Milano Red one and the front looks like it been shot blasted. The cars superb, just a shame about the paint quality
