It's a fibreglass car, that can't rust.....

Or are you describing a metal part?

More likely to be the lacquer or something failing..

Theres a similar 'active' thread on here already on the subject. Conclusion seems to be its water seeping through the fibreglass causing bobbling - more commonly found on the rear clam, but I guess it could be a similar thing.

6 year body guarantee isnt it?? 8 year chassis and 2 years mechanical. Could be wring mind.

What you are describing are almost certainl microblisters - though they do tend to be a little oftee than you describe.

They are usually caused by trapped moisture coming to the surface in fibreglass cars, either because of poor baking or moisture hetting in. A similar thing can also be seen when incompatible paints are used, leading to reactions at base level.

Has the car been resprayed?
