stone chips

[markw182]

Me and my mate both have 182s,mine in titanium silver and his in artic blue.After various trips around the country where we have taken both cars it would appear after theyve been cleaned the silver is much more prone to stone chips than the blue,to the point where i have them on top of the passenger door,wing mirror and bonnet..he has no stone chips at all..has anyone else noticed the silver to be prone to stone chips??? or am i just bloody unlucky.

Mines not too bad. Only got a couple. Although I have got one at the top of my bonnet.. Mines suffers from gravel rash at the bottom of the rear arches, and my gfs 1.2 is the same.....

Try driving in front of your mate next time.!!

does anyone know of any way to repair stone chips, cheaply without actually taking it to a garage etc and getting it sprayed

Mines got a few especially on the bonnet. Not really worth repairing as only a standard 1996 model
