Sorry coupe.. dun mean to offend u.. just a bit of a joke :(
Anyways, reason i said this is because most modern cars don't require tough coat treatment anymore as it come from factories pre-treated (pls correct me if i am wrong)... |

I think most cars got anti-rust proofing but not all cars. Usually the higher ends one has it. So i believe the 8 is relatively higher end. So should not have problems.
IMO most cars should not rust at least for 3 to 5 years; thats the period of most warranties. So the car manufacturers would have calculated that at least90% of car will not have problems a warranty covers in that period. |
I think even normal family cars will have galvanised bodies, according to SE in MM, so no need tuff kote anymore. Anyway, any impact that would scrape off the rubberised coating would also scrape off the tuff kote layer, so no diff.

ok...thanks for all the info.
