While washing my pride and joy yesterday, to my horror i found two rust spots on the underside of the boot lid both in the same positon at the side of the boot brackets. The spots are about the size of a screw head! Does the warranty cover paint defects like this?, Has any body else had any problems like this? Cheers!

Try rubbing it off, there should be 2 plastic circular things under the rust to protect the paint. At least mine has

If you've kept up the body warranty there's no reason why they shouldn't sort it. If not I'll be annoyed aswell....
