My Ride: '04 530d SE, Mystic Blue with grey dakota leather...
...Sunroof, Through-Loading, heated seats, headlight washer...
......Bluetooth, 6-disc CD, Business Nav, 18" star spoke 123 alloys
and a full set of mats
There are some pointless m*ther f*ckers out there...
So, can anyone recommend (or know of) a good bodyshop in or around Manchester UK? even a dealer one..
I wasn't in the best of moods this morning anyway. I'd been on the phone to a call centre for 45 mins trying to get my internet working...so this felt like a right kick in the b*llocks

Damn that looks kinda deep (or is it me 
)
I hope re-spraying the door won`t cost that much, especially that (as far as I know) the dealer usually doesn`t really do spot repairs on really obvious spots ?
And about the d1ck that made it......Just no comment :thumbsdown:

Yes it is as deep as it looks, you can definitely feel it snag your fingernail. I don't think it is through to bare metal though.
As for the punishment such pathetic vandalism deserves, well I'd go 'Dexter' on them...only way they'd learn.

Sorry about being keyed - those type of people always seem to get away with it
Over here in the states I know 2 people that had their cars keyed. The only remendy is to have the whole door fixed and repainted. There doesn't seem to be a "spot" solution because of the depth and length of the keying.

Sorry to hear about that, my E46 was keyed few months ago as well 
and i am going to wetsand it soon
Try to find a decent detailer in your area if you dunno how to do it and they should able to remove most of the marks, but not 100% tho
But that could save you a fortune for repaint.

I hope you get it fixed soon and that those who did it suffer a healthy dose of Karma very soon!

Wow.Anyway, that's what happens when you take/post pictures of a dirty car. The Clean Fairies get upset and punish you for it.
j/k
Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll get it fixed soon enough and it'll be good as new. I picked up some nasty scratches on my driver door last week. Nobody to blame but myself!
I was washing it at a DIY carwash (dang water restrictions!!) and trying so hard NOT to scratch it, that I let the handle slip and bang the side of the door. I need to get an estimate on a repair. Don't think it can just be buffed out.
