I don't have insurance on the car at the moment and it needs a full respray when I say scrapes I mean the whole car down both sides and boot and bonnet have all been done it would be impossible to touch up, I wish I had the money to spray but I don't so will have to break.

That is a good idea but my own personal circumstances won't allow for it to b repaired  I have only just split up with my fiancee of 6 years with a 7 mint old son, I just can not fix so will have to break. I am in swansea mate.
