    Rust spots under the spare wheel (underneath the car)

    Is there anything I can do about it ?!?
    Could I possibly stop the rust from expanding ?!?
    There are 2 small circular spots 4cm in diameter ie not much,but you notice them...

    you could grind them out and primer them to keep the rust from spreading. If you have rust there you probably have other problems too, like a leaky trunk seal, antenna grommet or maybe tailight gaskets..

      one of my 318i's had this problem also but the whole floor under the spair tire was rusty. I used a wire wheel in my drill and ground away the rust then Brushed Rust convertor on which turns the rust to primer. I put like three coats of that on then sprayed over it with some color that was close to the factory color but not a perfect match.
