Spiteful, jealous, adolescant pillocks If I ever saw some young ****** doing that I'd firstly have to scratch him so's he was disfigured for the rest of his days, and then I'd ensure that I could identify him later in life so as to repay his gesture on every car he ever owns in his miserable infantile life.
As for the fogs, I have a WRX and only ever use them to flash at ****** in 206's, people carriers and Beemers whom use theirs whatever the weather I may have to change my tactic though, as only 3 have switched them off after my efforts to remind them of their mistake. From now on I shall simply follow them and kick out their foglights when they stop. I don't know about where you live, but in 2 years I have used my front fogs once for their proper application. Waste of battery power. Driving lights would be much more use.

how deep are the scratch,s ? if you can barely feel them with ur finger nail get some 1200 or 1500 wet/dry and some g3
you might be lucky if the scratch hasnt gone thro to the base coat u mite get away with just flattening out the top laquer coat
or get some base coat mix it with the laquer feed it to the area ie the scratch wait till it dry,s then do as above

yes the p1500 is the best way if T-CUT wont shift it, but for your first attempt, i would not try it on that car, try it on the CTR in the backround lol
no, seriously, i would try it on something else first, not sure what though.
failing that, i called chips away to do a key mark on my FTO, i thought paint was needed but it took him 30 mins to do a key mark that was around 4 ft long, he charged me £35 cash, all gone and that was with the laquer put back on as well, job well done

Nice car mate, shame about the scratch.
Washed mine yesterady - the car that is and noticed some p***k had opened their door well and truly into my drivers door leaving a nice dent running 3" down he panel. I wouldn't mind but I am careful where I park it. Showed the wife as she uses it in the week and It could of happened then but she is adamant she has also been careful where she leaves it.
Anyway to top it off some idiot has stolen one of the lovely shiny valve caps as well so it looks like some locking ones are in order. Why can't these idiots just go and jump in an acid bath and do us all a favour, god help anyone I catch thrusting their door into my car - i dread to hink what my reaction will be!!
Good luck getting the key mark removed.
Regarding how clean your car is I will award you an A+

I prefer the covers on myself. When do you ever get to use them though?? I agree, driving lights might've been a better thing.
