On my +2, there is some bluing on the chrome bumper above the exhaust after a 50 mile run. The exhaust sticks out from the bumper by about 50mm. It's easily removed with polish, but is it a symptom of anything amiss?

Seriously doubt it, purely heat from the exhaust.

Its oil and unburnt fuel. My Plus 2 had this (without any problems) when it was young and is normal

Best regards
