Re: 156 GTA rust epidemic warning?

Is there a wider problem here?

Both mine and the other at the dealers are 53 plates and the rust is on the drivers side front wing (see image below). Mine is a sportwagon I think the other is a saloon.

Eddie and Bazza which wing is it?

I have heard of other manufacturers having issues with the kit that presses the wings resulting in a batch of bad wings, could this be the story here?

If you have a 156 GTA thats around 4 years old you might like to drop the splash guard and inspect the rear of the wing, the issue only shows once the rust has eaten through the wing.
