Corrosion?

Corrosion just by the side mirror mount on the door.

Likely problem, likely covered by corrosion guarantee? 09 v8vantage

Thanks guys

Arin, a very common problem with earlier cars, in fact in all Gaydon era cars. It is often described as being caused by poor paint preparation and sadly is not covered by the corrosion warranty - this only covers true corrosion i.e. Rust.

Many on here have had their cars resprayed with a goodwill contribution from AM, but this very much depends on who you deal with. Have a chat with your local dealer and see what the reaction is.

Not great news I know given you've just bought yours, but it's a very common problem.

Should be yes. Just had my wing mirror bracket repainted etc at Grange without charge

Mine had bonnet done prior delivery (09 vantage), a door a year later with half paid by Aston and now has a small patch appearing on a door handle.
From what i understand if you purchased within the dealer network they usually contribute to cost of repair.

Didn't come from dealer network. Came from another prestige car dealer.. doh.

Would having an outdoor car cover make this even more of an issue in the future?

It may well be worth contacting the factory you never know they may well help you out.

I have the same issue on my 07 V8V. Spoke to the AM works in Newport Pagnell an they agreed to make a contribution to the re-spray costs. However, it was 2K +VAT with their contribution.
I have shopped around and found a better deal from a bodyshop that AM use for some of their respray work.
