Wheel trims have paint peeling off

That's terrible, there should always be somebody there who can do whatever is required to start a warranty claim with MG Motors, in this case it should require no more than taking the owner and vehicle details, and taking some photographs for a report to MG.

There is no reason whatsoever why it should have to wait until the vehicle is in for service, what happens if there is also nobody available on that day, does it have to wait till your next service?

Very poor.

Exactly, it seems like a ploy so when you get to October, and they look at it and say "well you didn't bring it in when you first noticed it, so it's really your fault, and thus the warranty doesn't cover neglect".

Well no that bit I can’t agree with because I have informed the service advisor who booked the car in for its next service the 3rd one in October and I have sent them an email with pictures so there is a record of the claim.

Now as I stated earlier I think this could have happened be cause the side of the car where both trims are bubbling is in good sunlight for a lot of the day as the other side as nothing like this happening there is definitely no damage to the trims at all it is just bubbling to the top surface lacquer what I fine strange is the car has aways been in the same parked position from new and yet this is the first time this has occurred the recent hot sunny weather we have had might be the difference but this should still not happen.
I think I will also send a copy of my pictures and explain what I was told by my dealer direct to MG to further strengthen my record of complaint.

The other thing I might do is to swap the trims around by putting the offside bubbled one on to the other side the the good ones at the moment onto the off side and into the sunlight to see if they react in the same way if the sunshine ever returns what do you guys think.

I think that's a good idea Les, obviously strong sunlight shouldn't affect them in any way (unless it's hotter in Wigan than it is in Australia, lol), but it may satisfy your own curiosity.
