    Thanks guys!

    Question one is about paint chips, are there any threads on getting them to look as inconspicuous as poss? I've not really dabbled before!

    I have a line of quite deep (down to the black plastic) chips on the rear bumper, around 10 of them a couple of mm wide. Having only just bought the car I cant yet afford to take it to a bodyshop so a DIY job will have to see me through for a couple of months.

    Any help gratefully received!

    Well hello

    To be honest I have a mobile bloke who will be doing mine next month, going around it to re-spray both wing mirrors, and about half a dozen scratches, plus a couple of little scratches on the hard top, will set me back around about the £160 mark

    (I have the same colour Z3 as you have, slightly different wheels though lol)

    Silver is a funny colour to get right!!
