HUMPH! El Rodster would take offence at that.
It just feels very factory compared to the way your car is now, Stefan!

Which, i can now state from first hand experience, is awesome!

Unfortunately most of the images from the early years have been lost. which kind of makes this thread less relevant.

I'm not really sure what to do about it.

well that chapter is prooving more difficult.

there are problems with clearcoat primer or at least ones out of a rattle can.
moisture appears to be getting through the clear coat

these brown dots have appeared. like freckles which are under the clear coat but are not rust as they have also just appeared on the front bumper.
But it also seems the sun has had help with this freckles effect.

so it's not a long term solution.

Hey that works out great doesn't it?, cause isn't dijon mustard the one with brown dots in them?
If not, then a simple name-change of your car from Dijon to the mustard with brown dots is the simplest solution.
