Generally around the impact bar area and on the back panel behind the bumper, think it tends to be surface rust however.

I have SORN'd mine twice over the last two winters.

The first drive in Spring is awesome. You won't regret it

I know the car is perfectly drivable in winter (apart from snow) and have done it before, but a few things made me make the decision this year...
Queer!

The car is fine in the snow, i took mine to work no problems albeit quite sedatly, where as a work mate crashed his Evo in snow mode.

You obviously don't live on top of a hill. I can barely get the ATR home in the snow.

Finding driving mine hard work at the moment, continually looking out for standing water and bits of tree, side of the car is covered in debris (spines leaves etc) from trees too and when I get home it's dark so can't wash it, *mumble mumble*

I actually do live at the bottom of a sloping cul de sac, i have been known to reverse out in the snow.
