What a shower of sh1te !!!

Its such a gut wrenching experience when you first discover it. I had the pleasure of seeing my car suffer its first battle scars at just 3 weeks old, its not fun.

If it helps I can tell you there is a shade of “T-cut Color Fast” which works amazingly well on Stornoway Grey, it’s the one that is listed for all shades of dark silver – don’t let the 'silver' description put you off its spot on for Stornoway Grey.

Sorry to hear it Sad

Bring back birching Evil or Very Mad

I had Brand New Astra GTE in 80's and somebody went down side and drove off - I was absolutely Censored

This sort of thing puts you off having a nice car - I bought a brand new Red MG TF before they went bust for second car/bit of fun - could not park it anywhere without stress - had the wing and door bashed on seperate occasions while parked - waste of time having it Sad

I have calmed down a bit now, its that first glance when you realise there is something on the car that wasn't there earlier Surprised

I have spoken to my dealers and the have given the name of the paintshop they use and i'll pop it over to them tomorrow all been well for them to give me a quote.

Most of it will polish out, its not down to the paint, some will need to be resprayed (i thinki)

Not using Chipsaway, they did my dads Lexus RX and they didn't do a good job Shocked

Has anybody in the area (Leeds/York) used Minster Coachworks Question My dealer said they are the bodyshop they use and if they are they did a very good job on the rear bumper when it was scratched putting the towbar on, no orange peel or anything Very Happy

life's good, and some are just plain jealous of it Exclamation

F Censored um! it not going to get to me Very Happy

Sorry to hear what has happened to your car Evil or Very Mad . Why oh why do supposedly civilized people do these things.
My wife has had this done twice to her car. I would also get it-repaired professionally but can't recommend anybody over Leeds / Yorkshire way. Possibly Chicken George can.

I rate Ripon paint n body highly but it a bit of a way from npinks. They are owned by Ripon land rover but they are twinned with Ripon John Deere so they may paint your car 'tractor green' Exclamation

Yeah good choice... I wanted a small compact with decent optical zoom to take on holiday to Egypt last year... picked the TZ3 up a few weeks before we went... performed great!
