Washed my Clubman over the weekend, and I noticed that the chrome under the rear windscreen wipers is heavilly pitted and rusted. All the other chrome pieces are fine.

Anyone heard of the before? Car is only 10 months old :mad:

Have this too. Only noticed it when washing the car in a rush on Sunday so not had a chance to remove it yet. Mine is more of a rust coloured discolouring though.

More penny-pinching from the factory with cheap chrome-plated fittings?

Yep, I have this as well, and it usually just wipes off....
