xrjx Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 That my Lupo's drivers side wheel arch is rotting and in some time in its life its been in a smash and had a whole new side therefore VW won't repair the rust spots under the 12 year guarantee. I am pisseddddd, just had about enough of it now, no point modding it anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrjx Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thinking of just using Lupo as a daily and getting a Bora or something and mod that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheard Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Dont get paranoid about a bit of rust, every classic mini on earth has rust but there are plenty around, your car is not going to disintergrate in to a pile of dust over night. Now that you know about it you can deal with it. Edited June 26, 2009 by Unheard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombuttigieg Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Erm I'm not sure, best bet to try a body shop. How badly is it rotting, do you have a photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
