No such problem here. There's only one stone chip in 51,000 miles too.

Much as I liked my old MINI, a simply gave up trying to keep in top of the stone chips and gave up counting!

Bonnet has chips, white has white primer so not as visible Laughing

It's the fading silver with black showing through on the grill that's more annoying Sad Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
