.
Here ya go guys...the white TTcab has high polish lips that were just polished 2 days ago and have not been driven on, while the yellow TTcoupe has chrome lips which were washed 2 days ago and have been driven on 200 miles since then (I just wiped them with a dry cloth b4 the photo).
Chrome:

Sure would be nice if they would replace the other rear also that has had small scratches in it from day one. I think they did admit that the old chromer they used sucked...

correct me if I am wrong.
somebody told me this before, if you had a chrome lips, when you made a damage from parking on the sidewalk, it is expensive/(or hard to fix) the chrome lips.
on the other hand if its polished lips, it is easier to fix the scratches.

A polished lip can be fixed if it is not really bad...
