Scuff Repair

[Aj93]

Hello fellow members.

I am in need of some advice.

I was driving home tonight in my new 320d. Took me 2 years to save for this thing and coming home tonight I scuffed the underside of the skirt.

I was coming around an island when a pathetic 1Series came speeding towards it. It slammed the brakes on and I panicked and swerved and the car mounted the foot high kirb on the island. I have a lovely scuff the entire length of the skirt. :'(

Any advice of how I can get it looking like new again.

Thank you

Kind regards..

looks like a respray job to me mate.have you tried t cut on it? it looks like its a bit deep for that though?

Thanks for the reply :)

It is defiantly too deep to t-cut :(

Going to get some bumper filler & sand paper & some paint + lacquer :/

Agree with Martin, speak to a couple of Mobile "Smart repair" people, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Its a competitive market place out there. Did you do any damage to your wheels or tyres? If you've mounted a foot high kerb I would check your tyres (inner as well as outer!) very carefully.

Don't try it yourself on such a new car if you have no previous experience. Get a pro to do it.
