if you have to run on spare for a week make sure to mount it on the back (and move full size to front), otherwise it will f**k your diff.

Does it say that in the manual?

I'd say the skinny spare is designed purely to get you to the nearest tyre-fitters and not for running about on for a week!

Ok guys, wait for it.......£162  :shocked: for a repair but a turn around of 3 days, Aberdeen - Glasgow - Aberdeen and they will keep my car in the compound till its repaired... :undecided:

Or £95 at Turriff Tyres, for a 5-7 day turn around and have the space saver fitted to the rear

It's extremely annoying, I know the feeling... but I'd be tempted to leave it be for a while. It is very small and maybe a careful touch up with some lacquer would do for the moment. Sods law you'll scratch it again the week after it's fixed.

I'd leave it as well, especially if it's front nearside. Chances are it'll happen again.

I can understand you wanting it to look pristine though.
