Advice: Rust and peeling paint!

Post by geraldineo »

Hi, hope someone can give me some advice what to do with this....

This is a bump and rust, which means that my back window wiper isn't doing its job properly, as it is hitting the little piece of plastic that the water comes out of :(

Finally last question while I am here, my driver side speaker is very temperamental, goes on and off when I go round corners or even steer lightly to the right! any ideas why and how I can fix this???

Cheers!!

speakers probably a loose connection, and as for the boot your better of looking for a new one as theirs no point repairing a damaged boot as theirs LOADS of corsa's around still, and that is the laquer peeling, the only thing you can do about that is to have it re-sprayed. and the little rust bubble grind it down rust treat it, then filler it, sand it, and spray it.
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)
