Whereabouts are you? If you're in the SE you could try littleknocks: their work is superb and they don't charge nearly as much as a dealer or some paint shops!
All the best NS04

Hard to tell from pics but in some it looks too deep to t-cut out.
Looks like your best bet is littleknocks or such like as mentioned above.
HTH.

Bud - With a reply to your post.
It's not just Scoobs that get keyed, vandalised.
I'ts jellousey, and it can happen to anyone with a tidy motor.
I hope you manage to get it sorted at a good price.
Rob.

*******, is all I can say, know how you feel, had it done. They should be shipped off to Iraq and made to wear "I love USA" t-shirt!!!!!!
Mine is scratched on: bonnet, front wing and drivers door. spoke with fellow Sn who's in the car paint business. I'm lucky as they will polish out, he's goner do it for at the same time as color coding the side skirts and wing mirrors.
Worth speaking to a pro before you try anything.

You have my sympathy!
My tw@t of a next door neighbour decided to reverse into the rear drivers side door of my impreza this morning! He then drove off without saying anything..
I knew it had to be him cos he's:
A) French
B) a **** driver!!
I waited for him to return and sure enough his bumper showed the offending marks where he had hit my car. I confronted him with as estimate to repair and at first he pleaded ignorance. When I showed him the swapped paintwork he did'nt have a leg to stand on. I persuaded him to go straight to the cashpoint, which he did and got me the money.
Hope yours gets sorted soon

I used to have a very tidy '92 mini cooper that cost me 99% of my monthly wages to pay for and run. Some **** keyed it one night around a mates house and it took me ages to save up and get it fixed.
It really seems to be that any car is prone to this, the cleaner the car the more prone.

Being a copper it has made me realise one thing...if your car is in the wrong place at the wrong time then thats it. It will be damaged or whatever the little "cherubs" have in mind to do to it.
Don't take it personally or the fact that it is a Scoob, honestly, i have seen all manner of cars damaged from a brand new M3 to rust buckets.
Although i hope it never happens to me, if it did, then i would view it that it wasn't targeted because of my job or the kind of car that it is, but purely because there was someone who wanted to commit damage for no other reason than at that material time they could actually commit that damage and possibly get away with it.
Society i'm afraid and with no apparent deterrant nowadays either.

Umm - yes yes yes
.....you ought to see his Citroen Berlingo, there isn't a panel on it that's not dented, scratched! One deterrent might be to shut their fingers in the door
