I would kill them if I caught them in the act !

Strange thing, if you click on your photo, you can drag (move) another smaller image layer, is this a Photoshop image ?

I took the pic on my iphone and used an app to resize it so I could post it.

I know how you feel, I went out to my previous car one morning and found some F*** had keyed the entire drivers side of my car from rear panel to front wing. Not much I could do but

[BMWChap]

Arseholes... think you get get that repaired by a mobile repairer so no need for full spray.

[Gazza0210]

It just makes you sick when you know some lowlife piece of crap ain't got nothing better to do than damage peoples property.

I have phoned a couple of places and sent them the photo. They have said because its double skinned where the dent is at the front they will struggle to pull it out. Also because the scratch has cut through right back to the primer, it will need a respray

[Drrncour]

Know how you feel. Just had the whole front resprayed and repaired due to an accident. 5 days later, some idiot has hit the bumper in a car park!

I've said it before....punishment in this country is a joke....the prison sentence are jokes.....the prison themselves are fucking 2 star hotels....

Time to torture those piss flaps...

[Kerr]

That's awful. Sorry to see that.

Seems to happen all too often.

Whoever this prick is needs to grow up and grow a pair.

Sorry to hear op! Time for a new vented bonnet?

To be honest it has crossed my mind to have a look at some aftermarket bonnets. I've just got back from a local bodyshop that I know and he is quoting £460 for a bonnet respray.

I think I'll scour the interweb and see what options I have.

[Drrncour]

That's expensive I paid £450 to have bumper and entire bonnet resprayed and, bumper plastic welded and crease taken out of bonnet. Great job and can't tell it's been repaired if your anywhere near Horley, Surrey. So just bonnet would be cheaper!

Hmmm.. worth you speaking to Dips, the genius behind all the work done on my car, P5 UML’s car, Josh’s full car respray and what have you. He’s based over in West London and is reasonably priced. Not the cheapest but his work is so good. I don’t use anyone else.

Anything over £250 a panel is extortionate

Dude, that's just s**t
There's some utter t**ts around. Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle or cost. Not sure how much new legs cost these days but those f*****rs should find out!!!
MORONS!!!

[mammoo6]

Feel for you mate... ABSOLUTE WANKSTAINS..!!

Same thing happened to me, got the full side resprayed for £250 and it was a great job.

Hope you get it sorted soon mate

Appreciate all the replies guys, thanks.

I think I will hold out for a few weeks til I move house, then get some more quotes and get it done.

Might even go for an aftermarket bonnet.

In the meantime, I have my BC coilovers and 19's to put on this weekend. I was gonna fit the coilovers last weekend but didn't get a chance.

Will throw some pictures up when its done,

Thanks once again for all your comments everyone.

Personally, before shelling out for a respray, I'd be tempted to whip out the touch-up paint, then flatten it back once dry and polish it up.

It'll barely be noticeable, if at all.

What's the best stuff to flatten it back with, 2000 wet n dry or something like that. ???
