hi all, just new to the site and to mini ownership actually!! can barely tear myself away from driving since i've owned it-addiction springs to mind-....
so as far as the rust goes, there are spots around the doors and some paint bubbling and also some spots on the crome work. is it a big job to get this sorted(expensive)? whats the best course of action?

hello you could go the cheap way of just sand the rust back and then fill aany bad dips!!!!

Depends where the rust is and what you are wanting finish wise afterwards.
Also it WILL come back if you go the cheap route.

no it wouldnt because you would sand it back to bare metal then fill then prime!!!!then top coat

If there is no holes, then you are correct and prepared correctly, it will be fine.

For the chrome work, if you get some WD40 and wipe it with a cloth the rust should just come off. Worked well for me!
