Sill Stone Chips / Corrosion!?!?

[Craig]

Just wondered if anyone has ever come across any sill corrosion like pictured below?

As most who know me know I’m a bit of a perfectionist so finding a car that suits me is often hard work; however I’ve found a car that, to me, is perfect the only defects I can pick up on are some minor stone chipping which has lead to light corrosion.

Now the pictures are taken on a dirty car, all the marks you see is a combination of road silt, dust, tar and then some stone chips.





The car is on 69,000 miles and of course has run Michelin Pilot Cup’s all its life so the sticky rubber won’t have helped protect the side skirts and sills from stone damage! The car has been owned by the last owner for 7 years, I also know the owner and know the car has not had any bodywork in this area during his time of ownership.

What are people’s thoughts? I presume the damage is easily repairable by a body shop... any ideas on a rough cost of repair by a quality repairer?
