It'll be all the stone chips that hit your bonnet... 406's are not very prone to rusting (not a single piece of rust on mine, yet!)

I've got the same on mine. Planning on just picking up another bonnet if one turns up as it's only small bits, but they're right where the skins of the bonnet join together so if I took a wire brush to it, I'd only get the bits I can see & it'd still be rusting away where I can't.

yip under the bonnet at the front theres a few bubbles, i scrubbed it with a wire brush and put in some galve paint, but generally the 406 is a very rust free car, in fact all peugeots seem to be rust free, the only one i have had trouble with was a white 309 which was rotten everywhere but it was used in a seaside area, it wasnt a 309 problem because i had a red one which had bodywork like new
