I noticed after getting my car back from having a new nose cone that the tape around my door locks is now missing (new spray job). I still have some on the lower back arches, where else should there be any if there should be? Its a S2 tourer.


Many thanks in advance

Also started to get a crack in the inside drivers sill just down from the door lock pin thingy, just at the bottom. The dealer said that this is a common thing? A stress point.

It's probably the same thing, but I had one higher up, nearer the window height. It was caused by me leaning on the rear wing: the panel flexes which causes the return to crack becuse it's a 90degree edge. I had mine repaired (under warranty) becuase I was concerned that it'd "grow" with vibration.
