Had a quick look at other halfs 2003 Fiesta the other day. Underneath the spare wheel well, there is a large patch of rust coming through. Where the towing eye is attached. The rest of the car is clean however.

Is this a common rust spot? Anyone else found rot here on their cars?

    When you say "Underneath the spare wheel well" is this metal part of the part wheel tray or actually part of the metal of the body? The w4nk3rs did'nt bother to underseal under the boot of the car at all (above the spare wheel tray) on mine (MK4) dunno if this is similar on a MK6 - which is radically different to a MK4.
