So my roof started to have issues. A little spots here and there of corrosion. I have asked a local paint shop and they told me this is a common issue of focus and opel astra due to the manufacturer send the cars to exterior shops for painting. I am for sure going for a roof paint at probably autumn. That's the best time for paint jobs as they told me. I was wondering how many of you came across same problems.

I am waiting for some st badges and gonna probably upload pics. Tinted windows fitting today!

    I also have a large 'bald patch' of paint on my roof - where the paint is down to the base coat or something, looks horrible. So yes, I have the same problem.

    Hahahha. I have the same color as you. With the ford aftermarket spoilers. Haha maybe it's the color! Autumn is the best season because the sun doesn't burn that much. Here in Greece the dark colored cars suffer very much from the sun.
