Create an account with photobucket. Upload your photos to that, very easy just follow the instructions. Then to post them here, just copy the url of the photo on photobucket listed on the right side of the screen beside the desired photo, hit the img tab on this forum and paste the url. save. job done. I was in the same boat as you once.

Or...... If you use the Tapatalk app (which I believe is now free) on yr mobile device, you can just hit reply in so doing a camera appears in the bottom left, press it and it allows you to add piccies from your mobiles camera roll. Simples.

Depends WHERE the rust is. If its to each side, the windscreen lip is rotting out - a known rust spot. You can't get under front upper panel as its double-skinned.

See pics on this page.

Had it all cosmetically sorted now but puzzled why it happened ... It was slap in the middle on the bottom right above where the grill sits!..... Just seems a strange place??
