I tried for a warranty repair on the rear wings but got no, no & no.

Apparently cosmetic rust and not their problem. Funny that cos any bodywork professional who has seen or been consulted reckons they never weatherproofed the seam and whilst the spot welds haven't failed there should have been some additional protection applied.

If I wait until it makes a hole in the wing they will no doubt say the problems stemmed from this initial 'cosmetic' rust.

Good luck trying to pitch a £40,000 159 GTA against M3's and RS4's when you haven't resolved basic issues like rust.
