My rust started on 130K and when it starts it spreads like Cow s--t on a grass field. (from experience)

I dont have rust anywee else though, the wings are spot on, just keep an eye out for the plastic lugs hidden underneath the boot slam panel and the bumper. You can see them if you look closely!!!! hope there is an antidote!!!

Yes it's all your fault,been out there with a torch looking in the dark

Was going to wash the car tomorrow anyway,but will be having a close look at the same time.

I just don't buy that these cars only rust afer a bad repair or even a stone chip. I hate to say it but BMWs rust.

It is in Donny - I think he thought it was in Doncaster rather than at Donington Park
