Sorry to hear that dude. The pics on our other site was really good. 
Wouldn't worry though, mine already has a little dent in one of the rear doors, and a light scratch down one side.
Hope its not too bad and you can get it removed easily.
As for the YRV Turbo? question, its Daihatsu's latest hot hatch with a 1.3 Turbo motor producing 128bhp.
Its the modern Charade GTti basically. One of the most powerful 1.3 motors around (stock).

If u want to pop over to our workshop next week & let me have a look I'll advise you best. If it'll polish out we'll do it for free (always glad to help out a fellow Scoobynetter).
Myself & my brothers run LittleKnocks SMART Repair Centre in Harefield (just off the A40)
Let me know

I tried touch up paint on my last car...
made such a mess i fobbed it off as "Its my name in chinese, honest!"
A few people fell for it.
Then spent 3 hours getting it off with some special cleaning agent, that worked a treat. Damn hard work though.
Never going near touch up pain again. Will leave it to the pro's next time.

If ANYONE has/needs the services that the guys @ http://www.littleknocks.co.uk/ offer i can only give the upmost recommendations @ a 1st class job that these guys offer

'Chips away' are a franchise & we're a family business. All our guys are experienced fully qualified car painters so 90% of the repairs are to bodyshop (rather than smart repair) standard.
With respect to chips, it really depends on where the damage is, sometimes it can be made completely invisible & sometimes just improved. Where we differ is we have the equiptment & skills to paint a complete panel if required to save the cost of using a bodyshop.
