The golf needs bits spraying i.e the splitter which is scraped to death underneath. And a couple dings. But i plan to keep it for a while so body work can wait, want to make it nicer to drive first

I wouldn't bother. You're not going to make an extra £5-600 if it's mint so not worth it.

As said if it was a desirable motor then maybe it'd be worth considering but it's just a Diesel Ibiza (no offence meant by that)

Although having said that, maybe look at just getting the rust treated? It would only have to be blown in on the area so shouldn't be an expensive job, just you don't want it to get worse!

I did it, and it was the biggest waste of time. Was only out of the bodyshop a day when someone hit it with their door. Id say put up with it, there are too many inconsiederate people around nowadays.
