Blocking is where the inner tire walls wear at different spots causing a rumble when driving, its common so im told. I trust the guy who works on my cars so im not going to question him on this one. I will end up changing the wheels at some point as im not keen on the 17s I like these cars with deep dish wheels like asia tech wolfrace. Im also toying with a part wrap on the bonnet, grill, roof, skirts and mini fin just to hide the worst of ghe scratches

I have just found water getting into the boot of the car from the passenger side behind the body towards the rear wheel arch, its running down from somewhere above the arch but i cant see where due to the metal panels in the boot space. Does anyone know what i need to seal to sort this one as its a major leak!

The only places I can think off would be the hatch if a 5 door, the sunroof drain if you have a sunroof or around the fuel filler.

Well - to be honest - the common area is around the lights, but unless there's a route for the water to get from the light clusters to where it appears to be pooling, I've really got no idea ....

Cheers anyway bud ��
It's above the wheel arch area from the looks of it but as the car hasn't moved for a few days I can't see how it would get in through the arches plus they have been under sealed by a previous owner so I'm at a loss now
