Decided to wash and polish my 500 this morning as I'm off over to family later to show him off. Just in the process of hosing him down first .....and there's this massive great scratch down the front driver's side wing that carries on over to the door. It's right down to the white primer coat/undercoat. I wanted to scream, the air was blue, my face was red. "I 've only had him 3 weeks!" I shouted. Not that there was anyone 'round to hear me. Boy am I so p*ssed off.
This looks like a bodyshop job. I don't think T-cut and a polish out is going to make any difference. I'm not sure if it's an accidental scratch or deliberate. I hope it's not the latter. I reckon it may have happened in Sainsbury's car park last night, yet I did park away from other vehicles on the edge of the carpark.
Phoned my insurance company who were helpful and sympathetic. They advised me to call the police and get a crime ref no. Luckily my no claims bonus is protected. Unluckily I've a £250 excess. I'm not sure how much a bodyshop would charge for this and what would be involved. I am one unhappy bunny today.
