my fellow fit drifters and drivers...i call for you attention to this potentially serious problem with our fit paint problem...

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/show...3006#post73006

since some of you doesn't browse through all the sections, all of you should really check it out...it can develop into spider cracks easily and the whole bumper will be destroyed!!

I'm also having stupid issues with my wiper blade scraping across the windshied instead of smooth movements...

 

Oh for joy. I need to check mine in the AM.

 

Drifters? In a fit? I hope you don't mean the driving kind of drifting!

(unless some people have figured out how to do it in reverse!) :P

 

yea we all need to check our bumper

 

It might be a good idea to post which color you've got -- maybe it's not a problem across the board. Mine is Storm Silver Metallic, and except for one tiny chip that I touched up, the bumper looks fine. I've been cleaning smashed bugs off on a regular basis and haven't had any peeling paint.

 

Besides the paint issue, is anyone experiencing issues with their 12volt accessory outlet/cigarette lighter hole?

I've only had my car for 2 weeks but i noticed a lot of scratches an dchips from rocks maybe? Do you all have the same issues? Maybe i should get a bra for it? kinda hard to avoid any chips i guess

 

Mine is Storm Silver and is only 1 month old with less than 1000km and already I found 2 scratches at the back of my bumper.
Other than easy scratches (at least the bumper area), I like my Fit Sport very much, even more than the BMW 3 that it replaced.

 

Yup the paint SUCKS! No excuse - it gets chips and scratches from just bug guts...and I don't do film or bras (reminds me of people with plastic slip covers on the sofa YUCK)so I can see a spot repaint within the next driving season. I suggest some factory touchup paint and good waxing in the mean while...
