Re: headlight scuffing/scratching
There's a bodyshop I know here in Cornwall who can apparently fix this by spraying with lacquer. Not seen the results myself so it might be a shortlived fix, but they say the Porsche they did looked good.
Bet there's someone on this site who knows better than me !

Hey, got the same problem as you I think! I talked to a car guy last week and he meant that the heat from the bulbs had burnt the inside of the glass and that it should be covered vw. So I sent a mail to the dealer I bought the car from and he said he would look into it. Hoping to get new lights now! mine is 09 model!
