Road Rash (Stone Chip Damage) Pictures
With only 4,500 miles from new my 2011 XKR 175 shows significant stone damage from the tires throwing small stones against the paint. The XKR has no available mud flops or body kit mods to protect from this. I was going to add 20mm spacers to the front wheels and 15mm spaces to back wheels. I'm thinking twice about this now.
I don't drive on gravel roads and the car is used very little on the freeway.
Anyone else have this problem?

There is a relatively simple cure for road rash and other paint chips. Go to Dr Color chip's website. There you can order a kit customized to your color and simple instructions as to how to apply the finish. I have used it on several vehicles with good results. Each kit costs about $50.00 US. The url for the website is Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems . Good luck

Its seems it is a lot, I am surprised, thanks for showing it. I did got some spots but by driving on a bottle of acid or something similar I am not even sure it is me who did it...and it has messed the paint totally, in the rear behind each tires.

I ended up with a repainted car over much of what you show....
Mine was far worse as I drove a stormy mountain pass that they were sanding with crushed red lava rock.
Needless to say, as soon as I got it back from the paint shop, I got the whole lower rocker panel protected with the 3M clearbra.
