Ive not had this problem although depending on the colour of your car im sure you would be able to pick up a 2nd hand boot from somewhere fairly cheap

Kewl Thanks mate didnt think of that. Was maybe gonna get it sprayed.. not to sure of price tho.?

Mines got a slight bit of rust just by the back wiper. Not a bit patch at the moment. il sort it once the weather pics up as its easy enough to rub down and spray

 

[LewyCupra1986]

Yeh its just mines is right along the seal on the ledge. I am sure a small touch up pen would do the trick either that its a new boot lid for me!!

Depends on what price you can get sprayed for. Might be worth popping a post in the 'wanted' section for a boot. You never know, someone might have one knocking around.

Failing that get someone mobile to come out and give you a price. You might find you dont need a whole respray on the boot and it can be 'touched up' or so to speak

Sweet. Thanks alot for the help guys! One quick question i am thinking bout gettin my ibiza remaped to 212 bhp. Just wondering if it will make a really big difference? Or if you have been in a remaped ibiza? Cheers

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Yeh best off gettin another bootlid if its that bad mate. Touching it up will just hide the rust not get rid of it so would only get worse

Out of intrest, why 212bhp?

Yes it makes a huge difference getting it mapped. Most people on here have their Ibizas mapped and its worth doing.

Its just i phoned revo in glasgow and they said a standard stage 1 remap would take it to approx 212bhp? Surely that would be fast enough? haha

What other mods have you got? Would be surprised if just a remap would get u that.

Yeah its pretty quick like that but you get used to it and crave more power, trust me.

Thats what i thought but we'll see. I only have a green cotton induction kit dump valve and scorpion exhaust from cat back. What power you putting out?

Not sure now as I have done a couple more bits since the last rolling road. It was last at 203bhp & 238lb/ft with green cotton, forge dv, scorpion cat back exhaust & P-Torque remap.

RR day before that got 226bhp but I dont think thats accurate.

Ive just added a frount mount intercooler, Forge TIP and got a new N75 valve on the way. Its performing better than it ever has before and Ive just had my new vr6 clucth & g60 flywheel fitted too.

Take it back to the dealers as the paint work comes with a 10year anti rust cover

Does that include stone chips that have a slight bit of rust on?

I can imagine the dealer saying that it only applys if your the original owner or something like that

Would be good if anybody can back this up... Ive got a small bubble on the rear arch, could save me a few pennies when i get the rest of my exterior done

I had rust on my boot in the same place and had it repaired under warranty. I think it was a six year paint warranty but I'm not sure.

If your rear window has ever been removed then it voids the warranty (they had to get a specialist to look at mine as they thought it might have been removed to have tints fitted - luckily they hadn't been removed!)

and if the rust was caused by a stone chip then it is not covered.

Rust on the boot is/was a common issue, I've heard of quite a few being repaired under warranty.

 

[Craig1985]

Yes its true as i have rust on my boot an in the process of gettin it done through the dealers. They wanted to touch it up to start with, but i wouldnt let them as all the boot needs paitin an the window needs to come out. So just waitin to hear from them now
