    Hey guys and gals, I'm at a fork in the road with my MS3. Having a blast with my '07. Bought it to do a little autocross and enjoy the MS3/Nator community.

    It has a matte grey vinyl wrap that is showing it's age. Horrible rust in the driver rear wheel well as well. Want to get it rewrapped and keep it for awhile longer, or do I get another car, move my parts to it and sale the old one as parts?
    My other option, please forgive me, find another car I can grow old with? DGS GTI here in St Louis running DS is looking really nice.
    Again forgive me...

    Thanks in advance

    Rewrapping it would be easiest/cheapest.

    How much rust though?

    It would, yes. I am planning on keeping this or another vehicle for awhile and play with it. Just don't think replacing the fender, painting and/or wrapping the car is cost effective for this specific car.
    The entire driver rear, front sub, and under doors are showing and flaking some now.

    that isn't that much rust since you would re-wrap it there is no need to worry about paint matching. just get it stopped and filled in and re-wrap
