Default Rust !!!

Doing the duty thsi weekend I gae the car a clean.

I noticed that just in front of the rear offside wheel arch were three small rust spots. They appear to be rivet points underneath the paintwork. This car is only six months old. I feel a visit to a Honda dealer coming on.

Ulp!!! That's definitely a first reference to rust I've seen. As Andy says, some pics would be nice!

That area is prone to stone chipping, are you sure its not the cause of it.
I have made up some clear film protectors to stop this from happening. I will be bringing some down to the southern meet if anyone likes the idea.

Definately not stone chips, the rust spots are perfectly round and the rust is coming out of the paint not "top damage in". I will get the camera out this weekend and post some piccies.

Peter - If you see anyone bending over near your car in the carpark - that's me taking a look.

The car is parked at the rear of the building, the rust is on the drivers side.

Should I tell security that there is a strange man lurking around sportscars?
