Take a out your windscreens and look for rust. Also your boot chanel, they rust up like crazy and leak water into your boot. But you have probably already done this. Oh and my engine bay is still white :P You only see it when you open the bonnet lol. Heres a pic of my car before it was sprayed and while it was sprayed.



Mine originally came from an old lady from sydney with 110,000kms. Then it was sold to the bloke who sprayed it. He had it for about a year, then it was sold to another bloke. He had it for a year. And then it was sold to me
