Just wondering if anyone has any advice how I could get Ned's bum stitched up (scratch/ bump) or get it fixed please let me know. I suspect another driver with a tow bar bumped into him! Its about 3-4 inches long.
Is there something I could just paint or brush up on it? Stick a marker on it? or do I need to take it to the garage?

Sorry for the pic...he's a bit dirty (he's normally cosmic black)...weather in dublin hasn't been great...

you could always get some official mini touch up paint from www.coolnew.co.uk , and give that a whirl. I also have a small scratch on the passenger door, allthough it is quite long. I bought some of the touch up paint, but havn't got round to applying it. I was quoted in the region of 300quid for a body shop to do it...but i very much doubt it would cost that amount from a local body shop. The way I look at it, ill try the touch up paint, if it doesnt work, I can still get the door resprayed and will have only wasted £13 for somthing that could potentially save me quite a bit.

Hiya Sunny,

I don't know how confident I'd be fixing it myself, but depending on what part of Dublin your in there is a place in Templeogue that fixes stuff paint/panels etc fairly cheaply, It's just called Crash repairs and panel beating, guys name is Les Coogan 0874123476 they're near the Spawell, I'd a pretty bad accident in my old car and they had it good as new waaaaay cheaper than I was quoted in the dealership.

Hope that helps
