After a good 6 months of deliberation, procrastination and attempted touch up/chip repair/chipsaway etc.
I have finally checked my sorry looking S2 into the bodyshop to have all the work done needed....

for a reminder of my 'tale of woe' see here

I should get her back by the end of the week and will post pics for the full before & after...

Fingers crossed!

Look forward to the pics.
I'm considering taking the same action with my S2.
Where are you having it done?

Basically about half the car....

It was keyed about 6 months ago over the rear quarter and boot lid - the nasty bard had gone right down into the fibreglass.

In addition to this there were areas of the paint (notably on the front wing just behind the wheelarch) that had been cut right through the topcoat to the yellow/grey primer.

The drivers door had been badly scratched and touched up some time ago but with mismatching colour - which looked really crap!

As i said - pretty much half the car will be sprayed - I had thought about getting the wors6t areas done first but a bonus at work has meant thatI can bite the bullet and get the whole lot sorted!

Sorry to hear about the keying incident. Words fail me.
Who's doing the job for you?
