maybe its not new to some, but i was for me. this car was a S.C. car, so it didnt see much snow or salt i would imagine. it was under the metal strip over the rubber coating. as i scraped away at it, it got quite large, and i feel if left un treated, would have been through the fender in 3 to 5 years. hope this is of help to some. sorry the pic quality is bad, i just didnt check it at the time. id check both fenders next time the wheels are off. better safe than sorry.

I hate rust more than anything else. I bought my car from Florida so that I wouldn't have to see any rust on my car. In Canada, you can find 4 year old S-Class Mercedes with rust.

yea i guess that is kinda a difficult pic if you havent torn through your Q. yes rt ft fender. the other side was fine, but i would imagine its possible to happen there as well.

Sorry... they evaporated into the intergalactic bit bucket with a server failure some time ago.
