Hello everyone. I'm a new member of this forum.
I just picked up my 08 XLR-V a couple of weeks ago.
I absolutely LOVE the car.
I tried to find one here in Canada but I had no luck. I finally had to import one from California. It's in showroom condition, inside, outside, under the car and under the hood.
The only problem with it is the unsightly rust on the rotors.
I am not talking about rust in the area swept by the brake pads. I'm talking about the outer edge where the fins are and the inner "tophat".
I suspect the previous owner had the discs replaced with the cheapest ones he could get in order to pass the safety inspection.
Has anyone else had this problem? I did a search of the forum but couldn't find anything.
What should I do? Replacing with new plated rotors is expensive. I don't know if I could paint them with high temp paint.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
