Arse!

Managed to scratch the Clio reversing back into my drive in the dark, bugger. What the f*ck was the brick pillar doing there anyway?

The scratches arent actually white, theyre black... the ones at the bottom are not deep at all, just chipped the gloss.. the ones at the top are deeper, but none go to the metal. Also marked the plastic strip too.

Im going to my dealer tomorrow for an unrelated thing (new door badge) so Ill get them to quote for a repair then, as they have a bodyshop onsite. Anyone know how much its likely to cost? Just so I dont faint when they quote me... do they have to respray the whole door?

Im just a bit pi**ed off, to say the least!!

It doesnt actually look as bad as in the pic, thats cos the camera flash went mental. Ive t-cutted it yeah, it doesnt look that bad really but as the car is only a couple of months old Im gonna get a professional job done, regardless of cost. Not sure how much to expect to spend tho, Im guessin anywhere from £150 to £600 depending on how much needs spraying and the work involved!
