bodyshop unfortunatly, save your no claims and pay cash if its one panel, if its several, then bite the bullet and use your policy. If its keyed, you wont shift it with polish or T-Cut.

repairs like this always cost £200 cash, but about £1500 if done through an insurer!

If I found anyone keying my ride I'd calmly kick their legs away and smash their face into my bonnet until they bled!! I'd then probably be all over the national press and sent to jail! :cool:

My mate had his 25th Anni keyed recently, badly and I mean really badly, the car had to have a full respray costing 3k, he found out through word of mouth who did it, a couple of days later the person in question had no paint left on his van  :grin:

Someone I know has an immaculate early Ford Escort RS which is his pride 'n joy and he's sure his ex girlfriend key'd it soon after he broke off their relationship.

Dependant on how bad its keyed you may want to consider speaking to some guys on detailing world. They can do miracles without even respraying. And the car will look awesome after they are done with it.

Seen some threads of BMW's that have had paint flake off the bonnet etc and they have corrected it etc.

Mate of mine had Megane Coupe years ago - been seeing a girl, called it off and few days later his pride and joy had been covered in paint stripper - every panel needed respraying costing thousands!
