AventadorLee Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Hi guys! I've been driving my aventdor and just yesterday was washing my car when I realized that my bracket was a little rusty with the paint peeling. I've attached pics and was wondering if I needed the dealer to change the bracket or just leave it? Thanks guys and appreciate your comments!

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks Hannibal! If you don't mind me asking where do you live? You could end up seeing surface rust on various bolts and fastners underneath your car over time. Especially if she gets wet and stays that way for awhile. Surface rust is not to be confused with rusting throughout the metal piece. Just oxidation of the surface material. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEVIPER Report post Posted January 2, 2016 That is bad. I've seen salvage cars with less rust. I can wire you $200k Monday for it. For your safety I strongly suggest you take it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuvolari612 Report post Posted January 3, 2016 Take it to the dealer - they will sand it down apply a black nail polish type brush on it covering the surface rust with a similar factory coating. Everyone here would do the same thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouleur Report post Posted January 4, 2016 I would take them to look at it. All cars come with a rust proliferation warranty on them, to cover events like this. If you look closely at the picture, the whole bracket is rusted, it just hasn't peeled yet. You can see the bubbling under the paint. Did you buy the car new? I estimate you will have all the paint off the part in the next 6 months, then it will be a real pain in the ass. They probably just didn't coat that piece properly before painting it. Shame that you have a 400k car with rust inside the engine compartment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AventadorLee Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks Rouleur! Yes I will send it to the dealer. My take on this rust issue is like a beautiful lady: at times they have flaws we just need to correct them quickly. 😆 I would take them to look at it.
