Just inspecting the car this morning and noticed a really nasty chip below the front badge
I've enclosed two pics
Bit gutted as only had the bonnet resprayed last Nov (albeit under warranty)

If i do get it resprayed in the future, I may consider getting PPF put on the bonnet as well to avoid future repeats

My personal experience is just touch in small marks as I have repaired minor defects on previous cars only for near identical ones to reoccur.

I had an F430 a few years back and after having the front end blown over and PPF fitted I was always worried about chips which was one reason I sold it. The Aston however has kept all its minor battle scars as I decided to drive and enjoy it and worry about the minor cosmetics when I come to sell it and accept it will be reflected in the price.

There was me thinking of taking my PPF off as people keep running their finger along it thinking it's a scratch scratchchin
Think I'll keep it and just clout the next pratt that does it. hehe
