Some little ****** has keyed my car 9" by filler cap 12" on front wing.I think its going to need painting.The car is parked in a residents only parking cul de sac.Tourists tend to wander down the road but thats about it unless someone has walked down with the intention of doing this.This sort of thing Boils My ****,faceless ****** who have no respect for other people's property.Any suggestions on who to approach to repair the damage?I dont know whether to try a mobile repairer or go to a bodyshop.....

Needs to be done undercover if using chips away as they aren't that carefull with wind and over spray !

i will have to choose wisely after the farce with my wheel refurb £140 + paint ended up @ £380 but i managed to knock him down to £340. I am gong to start making local enquiries later on today.

Personally mate I'd run a mile from Chipsaway. Even if you get a good tradesman running the franchise the paint they use is pants. You might not get a great match and the lacquer normally dulls within months. You're far better getting a quote from a recommended body shop.

thanks for the offer.I have just been to see Derek at" The Devils Ride" custom spray shop.He has managed to virtually polish out the scratch by the filler cap but the one on the wing needs some paint which he says he can do..He tried to talk me into a custom spray job tempted but not made of money.

2nd that,chips away are only any good if your selling a car and want it to look good when people come to see it,we've put so many of their jobs right

Bloody effin b******ds, mine was done too, both o/s wings and the mirror, I know a guy that used to work for chipsaway, my car is silver, and he said it often goes darker where its been filled in.

I saw a BMW the other day scratched to buggery, I often think it would be nice to catch these ***** in the act - but then again that's probably not a good idea...
