02 Corolla with peeling paint.

So I just got a new car today.

It has a fair bit of paint peeling on the roof and bonnet.

I understand a respray would be too hefty for such an old car so looking at alternatives.

Need to see is there anything I can do to touch it up, but also secondly is there anything I need to do to prevent it getting worse.

I was on the Toyota.ie site looking for hudcaps and see they offer three products for such issues(though Id imagine on a smaller scale of damage).
Anyone have any information on these products?!, cost range, alternatives.... I'll drop by their Galway garage if needs be but don't want to head in asking if thats the best course as they'll obviously try to advise me it is either way.

Pics attached though its hard to comprehend the bonnet, the picture of the roof is a fair reflection of the extent.

As an aside, does anyone know anywhere bar Ebay and Amazon for getting original Toyota hub caps?.
Im missing two and would rather get a proper set than a random group but the prices on ebay/amazon are pretty high with a significant lack of EU sellers to compound.
Surely there's some decent online stores in Europe selling wheel rims etc for a decent price.

Just incase anyone is wondering that red isn't the same as the one on the avensis. Its the red on the corolla/yaris/celica etc that doesn't usually peel.
