    Kaz, if it helps, I can highly recommend Chips Away - I had a similar scrape on one of my cars (kindly donated by someone moving a bus around at work), and I got Chips Away to sort it out for me; it cost just over £100 (about four or five years ago), and they did an amazingly good job - so good in fact that you would never know it had been done.

      It only took them a few hours - they came out to my workplace and did it whilst I was working; all they need is a wee bit of space (a decent size driveway) and a power supply.

      EDIT - you might find it quicker to look up their local agent's phone number on Google and give them a ring; I'm not sure how effective their website contact form is?

        It doesn't look too bad Kazza. Phone around you should get it resprayed for about a oner.
        My daughter bought here first car this year, She had it two days and somone made a right mess of it on a car park, £700 worth of damage. She was distraught. Hade to drive up to Sheffield to get a same colour door and got a mate to swap it so it only cost around £100 but there's still a dented rear wing.

            local shop Quoted £300 and 2days in shop and that was for only one side !
            chips away just came out and has quoted £140 for the latest ding and if i want the other side done (may as well now)including the back bumper it is £260
            so i think this may be a no brainer what do you guys think

            Sounds good to me Kaz. I must try and find the before and after photos that I took of the damage to mine. I was really pleased though, despite being a bit apprehensive about letting them loose on my beloved Jaguar.

                Found a photo of one small bit of damage:

                [​IMG]


                And the repair of that bit.

                [​IMG]

                The whole back bumper was damaged and scraped, and there was a scratch on the bootlid also, all of which was repaired and left looking like new:

                Aye, they did a great job on her for me. I often wish I still had that car, but sadly it had to go.
