Fookers!

Sorry to hear this.

Given a) vandals and b) door dinging w@nk shites, keeping your car in good condition appears to be another form of bloody taxation!

Hope you get it sorted soon.

It depends on how deep the damage is. I have seen cars where there is an actual crease from the key. B*startds. If I caught one I'd prolly end up in jail.

You have my sympathies. My car was keyed from the nearside rear wing to the front wing and it cost

Is it a deep cut? I often had marks that looked like keying on my S2K, and it was more often than not very milde scratching from a stone hitching a lift along a couple of panels. Rubbing it down may be enough if you're lucky.

its does not get to the undercoat. i can see the point where person started, its got a hole in the paint which is deep. then the rest is more shallow. the scratch on the wing is worse! really deep!
any recommendations on bodyshops in east london???
