I have got loads. No rust though. Unavoidable if you live on dirty lanes and roads in the sticks as I do. I just wipe down every few months with ACF 50 on any metal exposed. Invisible and stops any corrosion.

Had loads on my previous 6... some were huge and very annoying. Would say that most were picked up driving through Europe at high speed... Bonnet, grill, splitter, and all four wheel arches were all scared with nasty white dots when i sold it ...

No rust though...

Thats why i have removed the factory PPF which is way to small and replaced with a custom made. Goes round all bends.

Did you do that yourself or get someone to do for you?
