Was it the same thing on the rear quater mate with the paint? Mine has the same thing on the passenger side mirror (going for paint at the weekend). Know what you mean with the D, they are aweful cars to drive.

Ah right. Gave mine a good detail at the weekend and was very impressed with the paint. No imperfections at all on the body just the wingmirror needs respraying. Glad its sorted for you though mate.
