Rust Check Point E92
Other than surface rust underside (suspension components etc) I've had no body rust...until now. Might just be unlucky, but posting this so you can check yours and find it early.
Under the leading edge of the bonnet (hood) on the offside on mine, I noticed a strip of bubbling where the body sealant ends and the paint begins. The pic shows the location. Sorry I didn't take a pic until after repair. I scraped off the bubbling paint, rust treated the rust spots then applied thick bitumastic paint. No colour match of course, but as it's out of sight when the bonnet's closed, stopping further corrosion was the priority. I also injected Waxoyl into the cavity where the bonnet is double skinned. Hopefully yours will be clear, but just an early warning to keep an eye out...

I just noticed today I have rust around the bonnet handle also just like in your picture. I will have to get some sand paper and coloring after treating it with anti rust primer. Thanks for pointing it out for people! Have a good weekened everyone.

Hey, sorry i just seen the reply and its night time I dont want to go out to take a picture but I found a picture online on the same spot where the mines is rusting and i highlighted it for you. I will also change the opener at the same time, because the rubber is coming apart also. I will get be some sand paper, primer and paint with clear coat ..it will be like new when im done with it =) i changed my fuel filter today, i wanted to change transmission fluid in my manual box but couldnt open the filling up bolt its so tight on. I will have to do it at a later date when i have a torch and a hammer
