The paint on my 206 is flaking off bad on a couple of the wheel arches, is there an easy diy fix or is it a body shop job? starting to rust a bit..
also it seems to be caused by the clips of the mudflaps. is it illegal to have no mudflaps, was going to remove them. the back ones are smashed up anyway.

dont think its illegal to not have mudflaps no, think with the paint youd probably have to take it back to the undercoat or metal, get rid of the rust and spray over it, is it just on the inside of the arch?
just make sure you dont leave the rust or it will eat your car lol

As easy as it is to get a bit of sand paper and rub.

I didn't have mud flaps on my first 206, and my I don't think my 180 does, unless they are just the bog standard manufactured ones hence why I haven't noticed them!!
I'm abit confused as to how the clips of the mudflaps would be causing the paint to flake. What year is the car? Could be due to previous poor care of the car, but as antknee said, best bet is to strip it back, apply a rust treatment and then respray.
As always, pictures may help give a more detailed answer to the problem

if your asking how hard it is to sand and spray then dont even attempt. you'll cause more damage if you dont know what your doing. take it to a pro and get them to sort it.
