Returned from a week away to find my Scirocco has been scratched on various panels around the car. I'd left the car on my drive thinking it would be fine. So how to fix it? Repaint, T-cut or a good detail? Any good people to go to? I'm just west of Southampton.

That is terrible, you would think your reasonably safe on your drive way. Trust you have a good insurance company, only way to go is re-spray

Yes I have insurance that will cover a respray, but of course I'll pay on my next renewal. Funny enough Doorman I was thinking of contacting you to sort out my garage door. I must get around to do that & clear out the garage. I thought I lived in an ok area & I'm down a shared driveway (with three other houses), its a dead end so no passing people or traffic.

I'll get some pictures up later. The worst are two on the bonnet with shorter & not as deep on other panels. Also one on the plastic rear bumper. I'd be interested in your thoughts Luke.

Photos below (work wouldn't let me upload them) so hopefully this has worked ok. They're taken on an iPhone so not the best.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Some of the marks look like they could be polished out, bur hard to tell without seeing in the metal. If you want me to pop over and have a better look drop me a pm with your details and we can sort something.

What absolute b-------s what do these mindless people get out of doing something like this, words fail me.
Do remember, if your going through your insurance, it may be your NCB is protected. Point to note, once you inform your insurers of the incident, regardless of you proceeding with the claim, it is noted on your file which could lead to premium increase the following year regardless.
Call me when you want a door quote.
All the best
