Hi guys, I've seen a bubble (very small) appear on the rear drivers section near the sill so I suspect I have nasties lurking which upsets me a lot.
Are there any body shops anyone can recommend on the south coast that I can take her into and have it attacked?
Willing to drive a little bit for good work of course though.
Additional question; rear arch trims, I managed to push one a little bit while cleaning and its now started to peel off and wont go back into place, should I just remove them?

Regarding the last question, do you mean the U shaped rubber pieces that run round the inner lip?

I have just booked mine in to have extensive work on both rear arches and sorting some lacquer peel on the front bumper - £250 all in. I have seen this guys work on other ludes and it looks like new! He will rebuild the whole arch in fiberglass though rather than chasing rust around... He is in ringwood if you are interested I'll find the number?... My job will take 3 days unfortunately, not sure how long one arch would take...
