You could probably t-cut some of that, but for the worst bits you would probably get away with a respray.

ive never used t cut before. would any do and do i just rub it in with a cloth then wipe it off

ideally it needs repairing, its a shame its caught the light lense too,

price wise 1hrs labour plus paint, we would charge £85+vat,

please dont use chips away etc they will wreck your car

Definite respray.

would t cut make it stand out less as thinking i might just leave it as it is for a month or two just incase i bump it again as only been driving this one for 2 weeks and dont feel comfortable in it

It would do some of the lighter patches, but from what I can see there is some deep scores and those would need repaired/resprayed.

gonna give it a try. now looking on halfords and ebay it either comes in colour or original. which ones best and does the olour need to be exact or just the general colour

 

[mick-fr]

As far as I'm led to believe, the original would be better. I know a few people that rate it better than the 'ColourFast' one.

Definate respray... I've got a very slight scuff where my cupra bumper was sat on it's end waiting to be fitted and it comes up white after washing/polishing. Anything that deep I doubt will come out with tcut.
