Hi matey, can't ignore it, it will only eat further in and spread. If the car is as good as you say, get it to a concourse bodyshop and get it sorted ASAP.

get some pics up mate
might just look like little bubbles but once you get all the paint off it can be lot worse
get it sorted as soon as, it will only get worse

I was wondering the same, got a 55k miler S1 with a few tiny spots appearing round the wing etc.....dont know whether to have it resprayed completely, body kit off etc, and see it last another 20 years, or just have some small bits touched up by bodyshop.
Some feel that spraying the whole car detracts from its overall value as an "original" car, but surely it will be worth less in a few years if its covered in rust ?
Oh what to do..............
