In the good old days, would have just covered it with a "go faster" sticker . . . STP for example :rotfl:

Is that where we got "go faster stripes" from? People keying each others cars? :rotfl:

Not sure why people are saying it's too difficult to repair. Fill the scratches, sand with "wet or dry" and mask surrounding area. One can of spray primer and one can of the correct colour to finish the job. Cost about £20.:j Take your time and do a good job, if you can use a Dremel, this'll be easy for you.:beer:

I'll give it a go then. Purely on the basis that I'll probably have to get it replaced anyway, I might as well see if I can make it look better in the meantime.

I know what you are saying but why did he feel the need to scratch it at all. It takes me less than 7 seconds to reverse into a parking space but he just wouldn't wait.

I just don't understand what happens in people's lives that makes them that aggressive at 7am in the morning.

It's worrying that someone with such clear anger management issues drives a big powerful car. If he's like that when he is parking, goodness only knows how dangerous he is when he is on the road.

:eek:

He clearly fails in every other aspect of his life. His wife ain't putting out, his boss thinks he's a lazy sod and he has no friends. He drinks alone and has a member the size of a wotsit.

He's bitter and angry that life hasn't handed him a free ride, so he takes it out on people trying to park. And small children in wheel chairs.

Fix your petrol cap and carry in with your life safe in the knowledge you'll never be a bigger douche than that bloke.

True.. but i assume its metallic paint.. and will require laquer to.

Its very difficult to obtain a good finish.

Yes, it's metallic.

I'm going to throw myself at the paint racks in Halfords tomorrow. Wish me luck, chaps.

No no

A Laguna diesel is not a big car

However, if you want to see my huge tally wacker, you've only got to ask :beer:

Seems to be lots of drivers on the road like that.

You're right.

I shall fix my car and then run the b*gger down next time I see him.

Good luck ... if you don't get a good finish first time .. sand it very lightly and try again and whatever, it will have covered it up, wont it.

Think maybe we are ignoring the obvious.

If he has done it right across the fuel filler cap - cant you just replace the cap. Is it metal - a lot of fuel flaps are plastic.

Even if it is metal replacing this one part would be cheaper than a respray.

My DH says google "aftermarket fuel filler flap <car make>". He just did this for your car and found some that stick over your existing flap (and thus conceal the text).

I really feel sorry for you. I hope this idea is some help.
