Scatch Found

Post by stan_blade »

Argggghhhh, I have just got back from work and spotted a big scratch on the bumper that extends onto the headlamp washer cover. Its quite deep and wide too, so I suppose its more like a gouge. :bang:
Theres also a mark on the headlight but thats not too bad......
Has anybody got any recommendations for fixing. I was thinking of getting a quote from someone like chipsaway or should take it to a VW or independent bodyshop?

Sorry to hear that. This is supposed to be good stuff. A mate of mine got his car keyed and repaired it with this.

Thanks folks for the suggestions, I think I will ask the dealer as per Andy's comments and go from there, as I would not trust myself on such a repair. I will try to post some before and after pictures at some point.

A couple of guys at my office in Newbury have used chipsaway on a M3 and S2000 and fully recommend, so I might get them out to give me quote.
Other than that someone at work suggested tipex or some gloss from bnq as I had a white car, I didn't find that particularly funny. :shake:
