They can be bad but its not structural unless it gets very bad.

Karust to treat it -

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_188249_langId_-1_categoryId_165594

Then paint for the top and underseal for beneath it.

lol mine has a hole almost the size of a football.

Going to angle grind the effected area out and weld a new plate in, simples, then just treat the new metal with whatever products and put lots of layers of paint on to prevent future rot in this area.

Rinse & repeat for the rest of my car, lol

I've cut the well out of one of my cars, have an exhaust running straight from the axle out the back bumper (looks mental!). Lots of hassle saved imho, and plan on doing the same to my new car.
