Default Graphics or go through insurance

Friday night my car got keyed , both doors drivers side. Its really deep gone through primer. As its a purl paint i rang the company and they said going to cost around £1500 to sort it out, was thinking of puting graphics on it as i have wanted to have them since i had the car two years and just puting primer on the keyed area o it dont rust.

What do you think ?

me and my misses had the same done to our subaru's, i had mine for over 7 years and spent thousands on it and left it out the front of my house for a week as i had another car in the garage and they put a key from front to back and down to metal and same on my misses car and they were the only cars in the street that were done and same night

ended up selling her car and broke mine for parts in the end

Dont mention it to your insurance, they will rate on your inquiry.

Zara works at admiral and they rate if you inquire about a claim, in short dont mention it to your insurance.

£1500 is full respray money,

£500-£700 should sort the damage, maybe less.
