Front end rust trouble spots??

Post by WeirdNeville »

Hi all,

I'm selling my car, I sent this picture to the buyer and he's asked "what is the damage/corrosion in front of the head lights is?"(Sic)

Forgive me, but I really can't see what he's refering to. I know the radiator slam panel can rust, but what are the other trouble spots so I can take the shroud off and take photos?

Thanks

Does he think the plastic protectors in front of the headlights are actually rust ?

Looking at it again, that's my best guess. Are these missing on some cars?

I don't think so, but on most cars they are painted to match the rest of the car - just the dark silver cars have them in black

Got to the bottom of it. He was a used car dealer trying to turn a quick buck. I'm selling it to someone who cares instead.
