Paintwork Warranty???

[83SY]

Just wondering where we stand regarding P/Work warranty?

My car was Reg'ed 13/02/2004 & I have found a tiny bubble where the rear bumper sits with the rear 1/4 panel

???

You will be ok mate,as you have the 12year corrosion warranty being 04 reg.

How would they go about repairing this ?

Would they be using filler :-( ?

Yep you'll be fine Sy
Mine is an 04 registed one and I've just had about a complete respray done under the corrosion warranty.
Only sticking point will be if it's had paint in that area before.

Only paint it's had is front bumper wings and bonnet that I had done because of stone chips.

I wouldn't just want the 1/4 panel done, it would need to be blended in down the side into the doors and rear bumper to be perfect. Do they take that into consideration ?

That is the only problem with Silver cars they have to be a very good repair job to not be noticed :(

A decent bodyshop should be able to match it very well but they will need to go into the door and rear bumper
