He didn't even try to bring the price down though, good fella.

Yes. I've already whacked the mirror on the top of a multi-story barrier machine on exit (completely minor scratch on the bottom of the mirror) and rather distractedly scraped the front bumper on some sharp metal protection that Tesco had 'helpfully' wrapped around a concrete pillar. I was carefully watching the pillar on my 360 overhead view...

Will see if the likes of chips away can deal with the bumper, but not having it bodyshopped if they can't.

Had a few touch ups with car wizard recently, did a decent job, give me a shout if you want to see their work

Thanks for that, they are local and the website examples look good. Interested to know more :-)

If you don't, the dealer should still have copies (in higher definition?) of the images stored somewhere. Make up a reason and ask for them.

Yes it was AUC. No pictures from the website as it was taken down day after I collected the car.
I will try that depending on what they come back with thanks
