How in Gods name do i fix this :!:

It hit a high pavement...Should i just sand down, or fill it with fibreglass or something and then smooth it over?

And then how do i touch it up?? Spray can etc??.. Ive never tried this before..

<Just for the record..My brother drove it into a kerb>

FIRST OF ALL PUNCH UR BRO IN THE HEAD!!! usually untill he carnt walk, this always works for me.

Ye ur goint to need to sand it down, prime,spray and blend the laquer in.
If you aint done anything like this before I would take to a pro man, will cost 50 squid or so. It looks to be like surface damage, not that bad, you want to see my bumper at the moment, 3rd time ive cracked it!! at the moment there is raw fibre glass strands showing!!LOL

anyway..

If I was you id buy a splitter and get the whole front sprayed done.

p.s dont let ur bro drive ur 323f dude...

at thecopper.

You gotta be gutted dude. I've got an envy stripe along the rear wing across the petrol flap, thanks to some w4nker and a dent in the edge of the door thanks to the Mrs openning the door onto a wall, which of course I found hugely amusing :banghead:

You could try chips away ([url]http://www.chipsaway.co.uk[/url]). but I think they have a minimum charge of £100.

Otherwise, as Shaggy said - try your local, friendly bodyshop (I wouldn't reccomend a franchise though).

[-o< I swear it was!!! :lol:

Thanks mark, i have tried chipsaway..They should contact me soon...

As for the damage.. I might give it a go myself...The bumper actually does have a crack (split) on the bottom ( look closely) Not really noticable unless you bend over n look..

Bad luck mate. Metallic paint as well.
I agree, work your brother over with some 4x2 and empty his pockets afterwards.
Good luck anyway bud

if it was a flat colour and not metallic i would say DIY.
take it to a body shop. and ask them for any leftover paint. :wink:
