i think the paint on my spoiler on the back is fading, its a red vrs and an 03 plate, anyone tried getting skoda to deal with that, i had them do the front bumper joins as the paint was flaking off, but dunno about the fading, are they going to argue its not been waxed and polished or something stupid like that, even though it has!

my octy vrs is doing the same and from what ive read is common on red skuds :(

Im going to use mine as an excuse to get a wrc style spoiler though lol

I shouldn't think that they will argue, they will probably give you an estimate for having the work done.

i thought body and paint was covered under warrenty for ten years???

I am fairly sure that paint is 3 years, I had a look here:

Yep I thought it was three years too. Have you tried using an abrasive polish (like ScratchX)? That may remove the oxidisation and return the spoiler to it's proper colour.

That's sadly the reason I will never buy a red car again. I've had the fading happen on other makes of red car after a few years. Red paint seems more susceptible to sun bleaching than any other colour.

it does, but you've gotta look after it.

it's quite simple really

I've had three red cars, and as long as you regularly clean and polish, the red with gleam
