Hub corrosion

I'm starting to see considerable corrosion on the hubs of my 12 plate 10000 mile D4. It's obviously not a massive issue but it's pretty unsightly on a fairly new car (my previous D4 definitely wasn't as bad).
Is it worth a whinge at LR to do something about it? On my old one it wasn't bad enough to be really noticeable but it is bugging me on this one.

Mine are just the same no real problem just not nice to look at going to try and spray them with cold galvanizing spray and see how they go Smile

I think it is very common for the hubs to rust, its the lack of decent paint on manufacture. Now I have black wheels it is going to show up more than on the 3 with silver wheels. I am planning to use some black caliper paint to keep them looking good.

There are some pictures on here somewhere of a member masking and spraying the rotors with heat-resistant paint - it worked well.
