Forum dads, I scratched my car :(

[Notorious MCSE]

Today I was in an office building that has those rising barriers and security guards that say yay or nay if you can go in or out.

I was on my way out and there was a build up of incoming traffic so I squeezed out except there was a Bedford Rascal type vehicle on the corner, my right hand side rear wheel arch caught on his rear bumper. He got of his car, looked pissed off, I gave him 100rmb (6 quid) as compensation but the damage to my car looks like it will be a bit more than 100rmb.

I have a 12inch scratch across the top of the wheel arch and a smaller scratch on the rear right hand side passenger door, it is not deep - it feels like the metal hasnt been affected, just the top layer of paint has come off. Whats the best way to deal with it? Take it into the dealership to be sprayed, but im guessing they'll want to spray the whole panels rather than touch it up??

Its my Nissan Note. Its my favorite car ever, Im sad

spraying the panel shouldnt be expensive, they'l just sand it down and respray it, then make it glossy.

if its a car yuo value, leave it to the experts.

[Jeewhizz]

depending on how deep it really is, you could use something like T-Cut

WYS, leave it to the experts. Painted properly and nobody will ever know, not painted properly and it'll look like shite!

eh?

There is a bigger version of the Note being sold in China, its a 7 seat 2 point something engine. Pretty nice. Shame I dont have 5 kids or I would have bought it. It has no boot space though.

Dads: I bought a bodykit for my note to chav it up a bit so ill take it to a dealer to fit and spray, have them do the body at the same time.

Im still sad
