Just changed the Contours on my 2003 1.8 which were made in the UK to a set of 2004 Serpents which are made in Italy, which I've just refurbished myself.

The Contours which have never been refurbished are in amazing condition both on the outside and the inside and look as if they would last for years, yet the amount of corrosion on the inside of the Serpents is staggering in comparison and do not look as if they will last nearly as long.

Rule Britannia!

Surely the condition of the Serpents is dependent on their history?

Where they're made really makes no difference.

I think you will find the OP has a point, look at the hairpins that are made in Turkey !!
