I have a few issues with my GTC (2011 model) which includes corrosion of the alloy wheels and the screw fixings on the lower front grille. Any other owners suffered similar problems?

Thanks for the response. The screws have been changed 3 times by Bentley in the first 15 months. The rear wheels were changed after 7 months for a similar problem. The front wheels were changed last August and I will be keeping a close eye on these.
Bentley consider these minor warranty issues. I consider them completelt unacceptable and perhaps an indication that there is something more fundamentaly wrong with the car.
The chrome tail pipes are also heavily pitted despite my efforts to keep them clean.
The car has only done 8000 miles and not been exposed to heavy road salt. I have also not used any specialist cleaners as the car had the full supagard system applied.

Did you get them replaced or repaired under warranty?
This maybe a posh VW, but at £161k new such things should not happen.
I have viewed dozens of other Bentleys to try and find similar defects to those on my car but so far not found any.
