Came home from a working weekend to see some kind soul has run keyed the back tailgate and quarter panel of the D3.

Lower tailgate above the HSE badge is a mess with deep scores that are down to primer.
Quarter panel has a 2 foot line above the fuel cap.

Yes, i have some light scratches from off roading but they were done by ME, which is why i've just got a proper polisher and cutting pads to take them out.

Some taking their keys to it for no reason bar spite or envy is out of order. Given how with the new rack, the tyres and the mud lines on it, it's clearly not a Chelsea tractor.

So, looking for a bodyshop to get it sorted out. Who's good and does a proper job.

Paint matching a 9 1/2 year old car should be interesting.

Nothing but good things to say about Hollandhurst in Coatbridge. It may not look like much in terms of premises, but their work is spot on and they do a lot of high end stuff as well. Guy I know through flying helicopters has a habit of ripping the front splitter/bumper from his aston martin, and it's always there it goes to get some loving.

However, I am poor, so I can confirm paint matching abilities on 10 year old silver cars as well laugh

I'm near Airdrie so Coatbridge is nearby to me.

It's in a crap area as I'll have to remove and renew all the tailgate badges to get it done properly as well.

I'm having the damage on the front of my car fixed + the large bit of paint that peeled off + re-lacquer the whole front end.

I sent you the prices I'm paying via FB.. they're very reasonable.

Kenny Laird in Newton (near Scot Kart in Cambuslang) is outstanding.

He once repaired my old boxster which had a crazy paint job - couldn't believe he matched it. He also repainted my old vxr's bonnet and bumper last year.
