Yeah Im gonna get it proffesionally looked at. It looks like a key scratch, then someone with a touch up pen has gone over it to 'improve it' not that I think it has acheived that. But you dont notice it till u get up close.

i suspect it will have to brought back to primer and resprayed. thing is, is that it metallic paint and i presume it would be a to match it evenly.

Overall Im hugely impressed. Even my old man who has a series 1 AU futura says its a gem for that price as it drives like new.

haha, yes its amazing what hair dye does these days. I reckon looked between 60-70. Not haggady but not quite her age. Very nice lady though who took pride in what she drove. Kudos there.

Try ScratchX by Maguires. I love the stuff. If its not too deep, it should do the job. I got mine from Autobarn.

haha, cheers for the comments guys.

mods wont be many. clear side repeaters sounds like a good start.

I would have really liked 18's, exhaust and lowered, but due to some family reasons I may not.

We'll see how things turn out.
