My Met Black C4 is starting to annoy on the front PU and wings with little white chips (as did my boxster) and I am thinking about a repair session very soon.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I do want to get it fixed asap because I'm upset every time I see it at the moment.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Some bastard scratched my car and the OPC has quoted me £800+VAT for repair. Anyone think doing it there is worth it or would a local body repair place do the job? Cheers

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If not a big scratch, try Chips Away. Very pleased with them. Spizz

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No it's a big scratch - right across the drivers door and across the front wing as well. Like I said, bastards!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah that's what I try and comfort myself with - bloody annoying though. I do want to get it fixed asap because I'm upset every time I see it at the moment.

POST 5Original post

I'd get it done by a dealer. You may invalidate your anti corrosion warranty if using someone else!!

POST 6Original post

That's an interesting point Andy, So if they apply that rational to a scratch would they also apply it to stone chip repairs not carried out by an OPC? My Met Black C4 is starting to annoy on the front PU and wings with little white chips (as did my boxster) and I am thinking about a repair session very soon. Do you think that would invalidate the anti-corrosion warranty too?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Chips Away are a franchise operation and capable (with their magi clear technology) of repairing large scratches - however the service is only as good as the operator !! See me thread at http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=60013 [ ]
