I have the same sized paint scab in the exact same place, although mine has no bubbling. Must be common or something  :grin:

I like the light touches mate, especially the W8 light mod and the puddle lights. Could you do a how to on them if possible?

Cheers Khare, It's through the metal now and is leaking water in so could do with sorting asap :cry:
I'll get a 'How To' put together for the light mods and stick it in the mk3 section, its the little touches that makes all the difference  :grin:

Cars looking great now :afro:

I also have a bubble of rust in exactly the same place, it's not quite as big as your but it's growing. Please do put a 'how to' together, i'd love to do the same with mine, also you fancy doing one for headlight switch and heater controls??  :smiley:
