If I took the car back to the dealer, would they be able to do anything about it?

Car is on PCP - should this kind of thing be reported to the dealer, or do I just go private and keep hush about it?

I have to be the first to say this.... But that will polish right out  :laugh:

Is the scratch to the metal? Perhaps get a detailer with a polisher to work it out?I removed this: (Head on with another car)



To this:




Ok not the same section but the paint looked the same and that with a measely Orbital Polisher.

Maybe try it?

It appears to be scratched to the primer, rather than any bare metal. Does look like something that can be painted and polished but I want it to look like nothing had ever happened.

The stupidest thing is that the only reason I tried parking in the garage was because I was worried someone might key it themselves - managed it myself. Looking around, there are a few new audis and civics parked around here.

UPDATE:

Well after being charged an arm for the repair, I've now had my ED30 returned to me. Took it outside in the sun - only the fact that I know it's been resprayed makes me think there's a difference. Visually, there isn't.

Will post pics up tomorrow. Didn't want to tempt fate today.

*Hugs ED30* I missed you  :kiss:
