On the drivers door hinge and near side back bottom part of quarter panel.


I had the bubbling on the arches last year and both were renewed under warranty.

How did the paint get chipped away on the badge? Exposing the bodywork to the elements will speed up rusting especially during winter with the salt on the roads.

What year isit?

Nevermind, just saw your sig. Was the car yours from new? Kept garaged?

If the paint thickness is like my ed30 bootlid ,which is extremely thin or non existent , then that doesn't surprise me.

I try to repair a long stratch in my bootlid with wet n dry, only to find within a dozen light rubs the white primer started to show :angry:
