Title: Center caps corroded
Post by: keano on June 26, 2010, 12:13:59 pm

Hey guys,

Just wondering if it is just my car or others aswell. The 'VW' center cap on the pescaras has begun to flake and just look generally pants.

I know this is a small problem and can be replaced out of warrenty for about £30 but grrr.  :scared:
