lucky i have a spare which is primed ready to sprayed, the rust you see on the rear arch and window frame has now been treated with rust eater hence why i pushed through to clear loose rust, now worrying about the sils under the plastic trim :scaredtoss:

Forget the rust, the swirl marks in your paintwork are awful, you need it machined polished ASAP!!
