...HELL IS GOING ON HERE THEN :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :D ;D :'(
Was just going to chuck something in the boot and saw these all over the Elite :o :o :o :o
Their not on any other car, Checked the silver 2.2 also nothing not one of these things ???
Can only think its either a wax, polish or sealer or something I've put on the paint or even gliptone leather scent drawing them.

Some petrol and a match 8) :D :D
I'll air duster them off and squirt some WD40 around that area see how that goes..
Interesting how they've all gathered up like that they must really like the smell of something there.
-
And it seems many of them have died from their fix :o

Are they not the Welsh version of Caviar? ::) ;D

Could be worse i suppose ::) ;D ;D
-
They dont like silver ::)
-
Many insects are attracted to dark blue colours hence why they've gathered on the Elite and not on the silver 2.2. :)
Also WD40 contains fish oils so if you've used it on the boot hinges recently? ??? :-\

The only thing I put In that area recently was after a wash some liquid wax/sealer as in that AutoGlum picture to help the water run more freely :-\
