Hi,
picked up my new 1.2 N-Connecta a couple of weeks ago, all great so far :D
But when I washed it for the first time I noticed something about the wheels, in particular the inner rims.
The alloys on the facelift N-Connecta diamond cut faces with a metallic black finish, but when I was cleaning around the "spokes", I could see areas of silver where I think there should be the metallic black, it looks like either under spray of the black or or over spray of a silver. It's not consistent so I don't think it's meant to be like this.
Hopefully I've attached some photos I took.
Anybody else found the same?
Is this a Nissan lack of quality control on their suppliers!
