MarkK - I can send you better pics if that would help. But I can promise you the paint is as delivered so unless there was some post-factory/pre-sale damage repair it is original. The rest of the car is genuine 100% mint. He's a single man with OCD about his car...i think he washes it too often!!

Accept that the rust at the very edge of the wing is stone chip - but that hasn't rusted through.

Because this is a warranty claim he's obliged to take it where ever SEAT send him. So far over 100 miles of travel at his own expense (plus he's self employed) to basically be fobbed off.

He had a Leon from new (2001 model) before this. Bet he won't be buying another.
