B*st*rds!
Had my GTi-R keyed, it's gutting, so I sympathise.
Try 'Chips Away', never used them but got there number off one of their mobile vans (looked proffesional) for the reason you've got.
Number is 01892 824700, they're in Tonbridge, but mobile, I saw them in Ashford in Kent.

Have used Chips Away to fix some scratches on my MY00 DBM. Very impressed with their service and level or professionalism.

Price was high but significantly less then bodyshop cost, and considering they only spray the affected area the results are very good.

The major cost comes from mixing and matching the batch of paint, so it works out cheaper to get a few scratches, stonechips etc done at the same time.

I had MY01 WRX keyed over the weekend so I every sympathy here. The score mark extended from the front door along the back door and across the rear boot panel. The front door mark was light enough to polish out but the other panels have been scored through the paint.

The advice I got from Chipsaway is that they can do a repair but it would be dificult to conceal unlike a bumper etc where light angles etc help. In my case it was suggested that I look to get the entire panel resprayed. If anyone knows any fantastically good and cheap painters please let me know!

Must agree with their advice, they did some work on my wife's car and it does show.
Had some work done by Exan in Holloway, N.London very impressed with the quality of work. not sure about the price as it was an insurance job.
