Has anyone got a suggestion as to how best to deal with this scratch. They've managed to dig into the paint.

Unbelievable. It's going to need painting properly isn't it?

Low life set of jealous bds!

Trouble with UK and no doubt other countries is that there are few to no consequences for these scumbags.

bds.

It'll need spraying. So find the best place you can (not chipsaway!!!!), given it's a nice car.

Guess it's just whether you go through the insurance or not.

Utter wkers. So sorry to hear this. This happened to me too a few years ago on my old V8 - pretty badly. I was insured through Direct Line at the time and the vandalism cover sorted it. Car went to Tonbridge Coachworks who are an AM approved bodyshop. They did a fantastic job.

I don't understand this. What could possibly motivate someone to do this? Most of these cars are not owned by the wealthy, but rather regular people, in many cases fulfilling a dream they have had for many years. Is this something that's unique to this brand, or all high end cars?

This also seems more prevalent here than in the States?

Not sure tougher laws would make a difference, these bds always seem to do their deeds under the cover of darkness .

I have just spoken to Paul Clifton at AM Sevenoaks and I am pleased to say he has informed me that the paintwork insurance he advised me to take out when I picked up the car in May will cover this scratch.

So a big thanks to Paul for persuading me to take out an insurance policy that has already paid for itself many times over.

My thoughts exactly, doesn't matter if wealthy or not (I'm not) it not phuckin' right. Scratch the bds face who did it so everytime he looks in the mirror it's a reminder. evil

I used to have an M3 (I know, I've long since atoned for that). Used to get keyed all the time. Likewise the wife's Jaguar XF

For whatever reason not had an Aston keyed. Hoping that's more than just luck and reflects a respect for the brand that doesn't extend to Porsche/BMW etc in this country. But maybe it is just luck....(touch wood)

I don't know. I only noticed it in the bright sunlight yesterday morning. It hasn't been parked anywhere I would consider dodgy recently.

No it didn't. The car lives in South Bucks not Kent.

I've had Astons for 8 years and this is the first time this has happened to me, in fact it's the first time it's happened to a car of mine in the 30 years I've been driving so being philosophical I suppose I've been lucky, especially since I've owned loads of BMWs, Audis and Range Rovers (but no Porches).

Happened a couple of times to me always on premium cars.

Just sold my white focus RS and and I hadn't even noticed the key mark running down the entire rear passenger door.

No idea what motivates people to be so hateful, I would say it's jealousy but it was a white ford ffs lol!
