Take it straight to a body shop and get the work done.

Taking it to the body shop to get one single stone chip covered? You have to be kidding. A car will get stone chips throughout its entire road life. If you're that bothered buy a chipex paint kit and do it yourself or don't drive the car at all.

Up close my black Sti looks like it's been sand blasted along the front of the bonnet, but it looks great from a few yards away. After a while you learn not to look when at close range!

The front of mine looks like its been pebble dashed but its blue so you cant see it as much as you probably can in black

Wait until the first person opens their car door into your car and leaves a big dent behind the drivers door and doesnt hang around to apologise, now that will p1ss you right off!

No not yet need to find a good bodyshop by me to get it done but have bad memories of paying £1k to replace a door on my A5. I couldnt agree more total idiots and they mustve gave it a good whack as the dent is about an inch deep!

I've owned brand new cars for the last few years and I wouldn't dream of taking it to a bodyshop every time it gets a stone chip. Sti or not you must be crazy.
