I noticed a little bit of rust above my nearside rear wheel arch. I assume its just going to get worse if I leave it. Has anyone had any similar issues? Any advice appreciated :smile:

Bumper rubs on arch with grit and salt, Paint cracks , Water gets in, Dust gets it, Water sits and it eats away.

Get bumper off and get it repaired ASAP, a smart repair guy should have that fixed easy and relatively cheaply.
 
Thanks guys. I was worried that the rust was developing from the inside out, but @MarcB explanation does make sense. Also the picture of the inside doesn't have any rust.

I'll get a quote from a smart repair guy :smile:
