Hi
I found a thread on here about rust that occurs on the boot and behind the arch liners on 206s that are about 8 or 9 years old. We all know Ryton factory closed in 2006, so its safe assume all of the UK market 206s were built there until it closed. On these cars I have noticed that the engine bay, behind the arch liners and other hidden areas are painted with colour coat on these cars.
My car is a 2007 model and was built in France, and these areas are not painted the same like Ryton built 206s. Instead it has what appears to primer with lacquer, no colour coat.
What I'm wondering is, will my car's bodyshell but more exposed to rust in these hidden areas due to lack of colour coat? The main areas are painted properly of course, and the paint quality is good. But its almost as if they said "this one's going to a customer in England, skimp on production costs!"

The boot rust issue was a c**k up at the factory with the rear screen fitment, that was sorted years before your 206 was built

Thanks for clearing that up, I always wondered why that happened
I do get the impression that Ryton taken more attention to detail, to paint the engine bay and other tucked away areas, as apposed to the factories in France!

@Andrew, our late-2007 TU3 car is a dream compared to my 2001 TU3JP.
I would have thought any production-floor and design issues have been sorted by that stage.

All of the labels on my car, including the door label with colour code; any tags on the wiring or stickers on parts are written in French. This and the fact that wikipedia doesn't list Slovakia as manufacturer for 206s, and has Poissy and Mulhouse lead me to beleive it was French made
Then again it is wikipedia and might not be accurate

I think 'VF' at the start of the VIN = made in France.

Yes that too! I should have remembered that
Does your 2007 also have unpainted engine bay etc?

VF doesnt mean that at all. All RHD non-CC 206's were made in Ryton - at least until it closed.
