thanks for the empathy gents

seems like my paint man thinks he can do the job w/out a respray - he's doing the cs bumper 1st so i'll get the mrs to drive up in mkv at same time so he can confirm. here's his details if anyone else needs work doing. he's done a few friend's cars and comes highly recommended

Sorry to hear about this mate. Before you rush down the respray route - get both a professional bodyshop and a professional detailer/paint correction report for the work. You may find that if the scratch is not right through both the paint and lacquer, that some cosmetic repair may be possible. I've seen some very good key repairs done on Porsches with (very) fine sanding and then machine polishing but their paint seems to be significantly thicker than VW's. Either way, you will get the car back to pristine condition

Feckin tw@ts

Edit - Just seen your update post fella. Good luck with the paintless repair.

Someone did the boot on my R32 the other week and I had only had the car 2 weeks! 2 weeks prior to that someone did a hit and run on our Touran in Tesco car park! cost me £400 out of my pocket to have both cars sprayed! I am still gutted!

Car Parks are the devil along with kerbs. I work at a supermarket and always park mine in a parent and child spot or disabled as im sick and tired of people swinging their doors open into my car (old car) so the new one is dent free at this moment in time.

I dont like to deprive parents of these parking spaces, but when my car is parked there for upto 10 hours per day it just has to be done.

SCUM-BAGS!!!! No other word for it! You just don't touch another mans metal!! Flesh?? Maybe, it goes on............... but not the fookin car!!!!!

Without wanting to be negative, can't see how that will be repaired without painting as it looks as though it's torn straight through the laquer and paint

Good luck with it fella, feel for you!

This happened to my last MKV GTTDI and I really was F***ing pee'd off.

Total cnuts tony. It reminds me of that scene in Pulp Fiction where John Travolta says he would actually let somone key his car just so he could catch them doing it.

twitS!!

My diamond black R32 was done TWICE!! Full side respray i,m afraid. Luckily my mate is a paint sprayer so it was a "cash in hand job"

Seriously it makes you feel so mad

I couldnt sleep for a few nites thinking it would happen again, and being parnoid.

Hope they burn in hell, and IF one day should they get a nice car someone does it to them TWICE.
