DIY A-pillars

Hey guys,
My girlfriends Mini has a scratch in the A-pillar (i think thats what there called,,,between the front windshield and the driver side window, from engine hood to roof).
Is this just Black paint with a clear coat? Its hard to tell.
I want to buff it out but if its some kind of plastic than it would be a bad move!!
help please!!
-Matt

Unfortunately Matt, its black plastic,
You should be able to get a trim repairer to sort it for you, or just enquire at your local dealer about replacing it if its that bad.
