Grinder sparks can do this, if its like glitter, looks like someone has done work to the car without covering the windscreen. I learnt that the hard way, never crossed my mind until the sun came out

The windows in the welding bay at my work look lovely with all the bits of metal stuck in the glass

Mine has lots of teeny chips too. They mostly only show on the very rare occasions I clean it. I don't actually find it that suprising after 9 years and 122000 miles with the same windscreen.

The 'problem' is some cars get a new windscreen every couple of years when they get cracked by a flying stone or something. The 206 windscreen seems relatively tough, I've had alsorts of stuff bounce off.
