Rusty wheel nuts
« on: December 26, 2013, 12:58:31 PM »
Hi. When I was pumping air for my tyres yesterday, noticed that some of my wheel nuts are rusty. I am still on the stock rims and nuts since purchase. Anyone has experienced this before?

Happen to me too. Ask TCM to replace for me but they want to charge me $4 per pcs.
I replaced all nuts at about $36 when renew my tires.

Recently also notice when come to raining day and the door handle still wet, seeing white color patches but once the car dry, color back to normal.

Hi jovially, thanks for the reply. I will go the tyre shop to have them replaced as well.

Speaking of the paintwork, I have patches on the top, and the stock body kit (side mirror and rear aerofoil) which have the same symptoms as you described. The surface is rough and pimply.
