my corsa b has slight rust on it. i would have pics to show you but can't take any as the car is away for it's mot. does anyone have any tips on when sanding and respraying it? i am going to be respraying it with rattle tins as i don't have a compressor or air gun. another problem is my wing doesn't seem to line up with the head light compared to the other side. is there anything i can do about this or am i best taking it to a body shop for that?ImageImage
the first pic has the rust at the bottom of the door but not that clear and the second shows the wing out of line. any help is welcome

For the alignment - check everything is screwed in correctly and there is no damage to any fittings (i know my dads punto one is out of line cuz his headlight fitting is cracked). If it all seems fine andd ur bothered about it take it to a body shop and have them take a luk at it. Remember though - corsas are cheap cars and weren't built amazingly well - if i was a little thinner id be able to get into mine without opening the doors due to the panel gaps lol
