Tonight i found a note on my windscreen by a lady apologising for scuffing my car. After closer inspection she has taken the paint off in 2 places and left a mark which after a good polish should hopefully be OK.

She has left a number which i have left a message with tonight so hopefully she'll get in touch tomoorw. To me its not bad enough for an insurance job but i definatly want it repaired as its something i cannot fix. Will post some picture up tomorrow but just wondering if anybody can recommend a pro to fix it. Ideally i would like a mobile guy??

I know barney does dings and dents but not to sure if he does paint work too?

I don't have his number but I'm sure it will get posted up by someone.

Do a search for Simon here in the ESC - he said to me once that he knew of a local bloke to us in Harlow (that he recommended) to do work like this on a Scooby. Was a while back though he said that to me, but worth a try.
