Hi Guys and Gals

 

Was hoping you could help.

 

Noticed this on my rear spoiler, is it possibility rust? I'm a novice here so apologies if it's a silly question.

Just concerned and want to get it sorted before it gets serious.

 

Thank you in advance!

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe the rear spoiler to be made of metal so would be impossible to rust. :dry:

 

Look's more like some sort of lacquer peel or bad chip repair from the picture imo.

 

You've never heard of plastic rust? Leave the house more.

Lol doh!! :blush: Ok plastic eh phew.

 

Literally just picked up the car a week ago and I seem to keep trying to find something wrong with it!

So a bad chip repair job then?

More than likely. ;)

 

Is it a raised bump? or does it dip inwards?

 

You could get a touch up kit (paint & lacquer) from Nissan for around £5 to try and make it look a little better or if it really bothers you a "chips away" mobile unit could sort that out in a jiffy. Probably cost you £30-£50 tops at a guess.

 

Edit: Just to clarify a "chip" doesn't have to be from driving. eg: stones hitting it. Maybe something in someones garage fell on it but either way it looks like a chip in the paint or possibly as I said post n#2, lacquer peel. That's why I was asking whether it was raised or sunken.

Ahh never knew about plastic rust - learn something new everyday.

 

GMballistic - it's a raised bump.

 

I'm in the new toy phase :D so will get it sorted with a chip mobile unit.

 

Thanks again all!

Most likely a poor repair imo. ;)

FAIRY JIZZ IS REAL!!!!!

I just googled that for a laugh. :D

 

From the urban dictionary;

a mythical fairy that visits males during sleep and sprinkles them with semen. the jizz fairy is used to explain nocturnal emissions (also known as "wet dreams").

 

:lol:

some years ago while down the pub with some mates after a few beers one of them admitted to having this problem on a regular basis

he said an elastic band wrapped around the end worked as the pain woke him up i didn't ask for details this was already too much information

Getting laid more often would sort his problem out better than an elastic band. :D;)
