Management took the Panda to Sainsbury's in Dunstable this afternoon

When she came back to the car someone had stuck the boot into the rear hatch
There was a large dirty boot mark on the left hand side



It wasn't particularly clean or dirt, it just pisses me off that some Yob just decides to kick the ruddy car
Hasn't dented the panel but it has really scratched the paint, probably from the grit on their boot, T Cut didn't make a lot of difference, so got the fine lapping paste out.
Did it as much as I dared ( modern paint isn't very thick ) but it still really scratched

Bring me my gun

Bloody yobs. Makes you wonder why!

That's why I'm part way glad my car has some war wounds. Do my best to patch them up but still ruddy frustrating!

Cunning Plan

Why do it??????????

They are the sort of person if you could 'clap your hands' and follow them around without being seen so you could find out where they live and what they own and do the same back to them you would. At least then they could see how fking pointless that is.

So, damged hatch on Panda = Damaged hatch on scummy chav's car too = fair......

But then, they probably wouldn't care..........

Didn't have chance to have another go at the scratches in the daylight today, was at work this morning and then it pee'd down all afternoon

If it's dry tommorrow I already have a cunning plan ( sorry CP )

It is to fill in the really deep scratches with touch up paint, harden with my garage hairdryer, then skim the top with a new very sharp scalpel blade.
It's then a matter of some careful masking of the none scratched areas and hit the high areas with rubbing compound.
Remove the masking tape, blend in with T Cut and then polish vigourously until shines like new

Pee'd down again all day, but at least most of the snow has gone now

Still have that harsh cutting compound which I believe is actually for rubbing down high paint, shout if you want it.
