OK I am no expert on paint but looking at the picture the OP posted of that panel, the only way that the problem is caused by stone chips is if someone tried to pebble dash it.
Really crappy behaviour by everyone concerned here:
- Marshalls stating it had not been repaired when the truth is they would not know whether it had or not;
- Stoneacre for giving a cock and bull story about stones chips;
- Fiat CS for not doing more.
Am I surprised? No, it is what I would expect from the motor trade. Frankly if dealers and manufacturers took more care, pride and responsibility rather than trying to cut costs, increase sales at all costs and avoid their obligations whenever possible then we would not have half the threads on this forum.
And to be clear, I am not saying this is a Fiat issue, it is a motor trade issue (with some exceptions).
