Hi, my name is Mike ..i purchased an A4 1 year and 3 month ago....but for some reason somebody used a key or a bloody screwdriver to scratch my car...
[twice in a week - 4 jan 2010 probably same person/ same place/ same reason - God knows why]
Anyway....got over that ....<still i want to kill the ******* that done it>
the problem atm is ...how do i get rid of them ? several garages quoted me with prices around 500-1000£ and honestly that seems...crazy tbh <would prefer to change the turbo for that amount of £'s> .
Have to mention that the scratches are from well...all round the car imagine never taking the key up from the bodywork from the front left headlight to to back of the car and then back up on the front right headlight :angryfire .
My question now is....how can i fix it ? / full respray - could it be only some job on the areas affected w/o a full respray ? or should i think about wrapping the car in some colours ? or just maybe smth like black matte? dunno what colour would fit my "old men" green colour.
