Some muppet has run into the rear side of the Griff. Not sure where or when as I only noticed it when I went to put the car in the garage last night.

The damage is to the nearside rear wing, just behind the wheel arch. The area is approx 6" x 4" and I think it was just a glancing blow as it is mainly the removal of lacquer / paint and a 1" narrow score in the fibre glass.

Can just the rear wing of a Griff be resprayed or as I fear does it mean that whole back end needs to be done?

Cheers
Roger

Roger good news,, Any good body shop will be able just to pint quarter if the damage is between the arch & lamp.. Your car looks like BMW Estriol blue,, Easy colour to match.. I should Know i own a body shop & paint this all the time.. Cheers Stuart g

Alan,

Thanks for the good news, yes damage is between wheel arch and light.

According the the paint code and original order its Olympic Blue Pearl, but I have had my doubts as it has been resprayed and the Olympic Blue touch up paint is not a very good match.

Unfortunately I live in North Bucks, otherwise I would pop down to your workshop.

Cheers
Roger
