I have an almost identical mark on my car, which is the same model/colour as yours !

There is no dent on mine though and it was totally my fault.  Any idea what kind of price for just the paint ?

I have never hit anything driving but I managed to do it a week after getting my car.  Ironically it was because I was being over cautious with the new car.  I was leaving the car park at work and there was one of those yellow grit bins on the left on the exit.  However there was a car coming into the car park and I was convinced he hadn't seen me due a parked bus.  I was trying to make sure he had plenty of room and I scuffed the car along the bloody bin :(

If its scratched up like mine then your going to want to get it removed rather than just painting over it.

As mentioned in a previous post Halfords wanted £75 to remove to scratch.

Hope this helps.

That's guttin mate - problem is they're all sleazy bastards who either drive rep-mobiles, or pikeys who drive shitheaps - ie they don't give a fuck. You can't have anything nice these days :angry: :angry: :angry:

For this reason if I have to go to the supermarket I will do it very late at night and will only park as far away as possible. Even then I will try to be in and out in 10 minutes. Sad I know but it's the lengths I have to goto to keep my car mint.

Took it to Halfords this morning and the "specialist" said he couldn't guarantee the work on it. Sod that. Got my money back and took it to a specialist body shop place in town, with a bit of haggling I managed to get him down to £175 cash for it. It's just a pain as its not half as local as the Halfords was.
