    i have a new car

    Well, we've got a 2000 (x) Citroen saxo 1.1 desire in the fantastic colour of WHITE!

    It has been bought for my missus for her 1st car


    Problem with quite a bit of rust on bonnet, any suggestions to sort it out?

    Sand to metal, filler primer and repaint?

    Paint it white so at least the orange rust colour has gone?

    Cheers

    Note: i still have the zr!!!!

    Shes got me as a mentor so of course she will fine muahaha!

    Could carbon wrap but would need bonnet smooth anyway.

    Don't think Amy would appreciate me doing anything to the car. She said she likes my engine bay so I may get to make hers look nice hahaha

    So best idea is to see a scrappy?

    Cheers for replies!
