As for rust on the arches. Simple. I got the wings changed, its an off shade of sliver blue but still fun.

Isn't that a bit drastic for just that??

I have already looked at Autoglym for my seats and it seems to be quality stuff.. think i may give it a try.. thanks for info Jamo & Ski..

It is yes... but theres always a reason for everything.
When rust starts, that is it. you can protect it as must as you like but... Its one of those things you'll always be tending to you know. yes it can be helped but can't go away it will come back. and with new panels or non-rust ones from scrapers (like mine) you know it's done and dusted.

I would suggest you look all over the car for rust (these cars aren't ment to rust but thats old paint technology and technique alot has change since then).
because if you got rust in one place or two you'll have else where for sure.
for example i'm going to looking for a rear sub-frame soon as it's rusting away and old my old 89' 2.2 audi's had rust.

get yourself some "liquid leather" made by gliptone, easily available via ebay/google search , as well as a cleaner & conditioner they also do a "scuff" kit/treatment which well help bring some life back to your seat/s

The panel rusting like that??? Is it OEM?

The reason I ask is that my car (1990) is all original when it comes to the body and I live in the snow band of
the USA where salt is used extansively to melt ice. I have yet to find rust on the body . Underside, yes but I
deal with that with the appropiate treatments and paint. Is the panel an OEM one?

Yeah, all OEM.. car was based out at West Cumbria for a number of years before I purchased it.. could be the Sellafield/Radiation effect!!!

Thanks for that, yeah, another few minor blemishes are apparent..
