I no how you feel Marshall! Previous owner left my car with lots of little yet annoying dings!

Well i got two carpark dents in each door somebody has had a poke around the door locks and theres 5-6 little dents on the bonnet that was before i bought it and now thought kids with their bloody footballs i know have deep scratches in the bonnet and one very bad one on the rear tailgate glass which im p****d off about

[rob_s]

i hate the paint on the frontend of mine.needs blendind to the doors ,needs.a flat and buff because the peel is shite, 1 of the main reasons i wonna start again onit

[Red106]

106 andy, i wish the bodywork was that good on mine, pretty similar cars.. apart from mines a graduate.

this is a good thread, its funny how when people show these inperfections and then the whole car tend to look diff ill get pics of mine, i have fairly bad flakin on drivers door, very slight dent in n/s wing, gonna get a new one from scrappy ( same car i got bonnet from ) hopefully this sat, got a dent on drivers rear quater, and paint slightly faded where ive removed the old badges and stuff, cant see all this on general photos but only up close

[CherryGTI]

i just have a scratch on the side where the owner before me looks like they key'ed it other than that nothing,except the odd bonnet ding's.

people who seen my car can vouch for me :)

the best thing to get ride of the sratch marks is to go to halfords get some paint and a airbrush kit and do it that was as you then dont need to paint the hole car and can just fill in the little area that needs painting i do it on mine all the time (might need a bit of t-cut or polish to get it to match 100% tho but well worth it) as its alot better than the paint sticks you can get as they leave brush marks and stand out from miles away.
