so the roof arches are brushed aluminium, so the coating must be very hard wearing to have lasted so long this long in the UV, wasn't there a query post recently, can't find it now
With the RCZ Mk 2 the arches are black.RCZ roof arches
Hi All, has anyone came up with a way of cleaning these? It looks like they are anadized, which wears off where the sun shines on them ( at least they will not corrode in Australia I guess :) ). I've tried metal polish... and cutter on them. That makes them look much better unless you get...www.aussiefrogs.com

Your suspicion is not well-founded, I'm afraid. It was factory new on TT plates n France delivered in summer 2014. So no, it was not a refitted Mk1 car. VIN: VF34J5FV8EP003536That has Mk1 wheels and Mk1 headlights. I suspect it's a Mk1 that's had a front bumper swap. The black arches was one of the defining features of the Mk2.
Interesting. Once again Australia gets completely different options to the rest of the world!Your suspicion is not well-founded, I'm afraid. It was factory new on TT plates n France delivered in summer 2014. So no, it was not a refitted Mk1 car. VIN: VF34J5FV8EP003536
It's possible that Australian Mk2 cars only had the black trim. I have Mk2 brochures from Europe and only the RCZ-R has black arches in the main part of the model range, as standard.
