Took Roadster out garage for a run only to notice both wings has large bubbles under the paint work. They have originated from the locating pins of the foot rails.
The car is 7 years old. Should this of happened. Any advise best way forward please.

There’s a possibility it may not be corrosion… If it’s like mine, the apprentice overtightened about 50% of the foot rail fixing screws and distorted the aluminium. It looks similar to a corrosion bubble but it’s nothing to worry about. Mine is just another Morgan feature

Very common. Slightest thinning of paint around the oversize tread holes, which allow water to be trapped, and it starts. I removed my treads to check and found very slight onset of corrosion. Hand touched up paint underneath and refitted with plenty of silicone grease and nylon washers between treads and bodywork.

Many thanks for your thoughts. DO you think this should be covered under warranty?

Agree with Richard. I used waxoyl on mine to stop galvanic corrosion. You need to take it appart and treat the holes and bolts
