Meant to say I had my bonnet and front bumper spraid when I bought mine, it was only a few months old, but peppered in chips, bloke who had it before must have loved tailgaiting..... :roll:

Mine is bronze and the match was bang on, wouldnt know the difference at all, did it through Honda Exeter, but that might be a bit far for you guys!??

Mine is infected :sad: 2007 model in Silver. Booked into Honda this Thursday so they can take a closer inspection as I first visited them Friday about this issue. They claim this is the first they have seen the problem & want the Bodyshop manger to inspect my vehicle. I will keep everyone posted as to their actions.

I think I caught mine early, I treated it with Rust Remedy and then touched it up myself. You have to keep an eye on it every few months as water must get trapped under the rubbers and causing the doors to rust. I have also put some grease inbetween the rubber and the door to stop it rubbing. :roll:
