Yes thats right the only car with the side skirts is the 3 door zertec...It should be the only one without damage....

The damage occurs at the interface of the rear opening of the rear door on the 5 doors. Because if a stone manages to hit that point, it is like hitting it square on rather than skimming off. It appears as though this section of the vehicle sits out further than the door, so any rock will hit it because it is sticking out.

Its possible that if the wheel is slightly turned out, a stone from the outside half of the tyre will impact on the vehicle as the centre line of the tyre intersects with the car.
