Pink Calipers

[t_searle]

My originally red painted calipers have turned pink. I have not been using any harsh alloy wheel cleaners, just soapy water and elbow grease. Has anyones else done the same? Was thinking of lightly coating them with something to try and bring them back to life--any suggestions apart from re-painting? Cheers

Oh Betty! Is that not covered by the paint and corrosion warranty?

GOD!! Was I scared when I saw the title!! - PINK calipers (delibrately!!)... I've seen a fair few Ibiza's calipers fade, it must be too little lacquer or something.

I'd go for a re-paint... but if you've not had it long, i'd be heading back to the dealer.

Some of the brembo boys did have issues with getting the stealers to do it yunder warranty. A quick call to Seat UK and it was all sorted.

Mine have done the same thing. You'll be hard pushed to get them changed under warrenty as the colour has no detrimental affect to the performance, i know i tried!!

But you have a paint and body work warenty! A small spot of rust or bubbeling paint is not detrimental but i would still have it sorted under warenty!
