Look a bit deep to me? Can you feel them catch when you run a fingernail over them?

Yes a couple of them you can feel are deep, a couple not so bad. Annoying

Very, I’d bite the bullet and go professional though some of the more talented folk on here may disagree?

If it was me, I would be hitting that with the paint repair method.

Watch this step by step, looks scary but I promise you, its easy.

Thanks for that Nino, I might give that a go , sourcing the paint might be the hardest problem for me here .... i think the marks are from the lady owner with her diamond ring bling!!

Yeah that's ether Ring or Key damage...... Some people just don't care.
Should be easy to get it mate, open your boot, lift your carpet and there will be a code on the sticker.

This shows you how.

Then search that code on this eBay's store (I have found them to provide the best colour matches)
