britpop95 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Hi everyone a couple of weeks ago my carrodo was keyed from the drivers side wing and all down the door aswell. I found a company on the web called "autoscratch" and here are 2 pictures of the repair they did for me. They charged me £130 and came to my house within 3 days of me booking them. My corrado is moonlight blue , i should have took before and after pictures. Some who went to the trafford center soccerdome meet may remember the HUGE scratch. Any way here they are i gave the panels a good buffing myself with some menzerna the colour match is absolutley perfect. http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb131/britpop95/IMG00465-20120415-1228.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb131/britpop95/IMG00464-20120415-1228.jpg I would definatly reccomend these guys for scratch repairs for any of you guys who have some annoying scratches or worse have been victim of some idiot keying your car.

seanl82 23 Posted April 17, 2012 Looks a good job. Most smart repairers are actually very good. Unfortunately there are a fair few cowboys out there too which bring their reputation down. I went to an open day at ChipsAway last year up in Kidderminster and was pretty impressed, although I didn't think I could make a decent living from it in my area. That's where most slip up I suppose, as any jobsworth cowboy can buy into a franchise for a few quid, do a short course and off they go ruining good paint! Just remember, when people say to go to a bodyshop to sort dents and scratches, some of them are absolute pish too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted April 18, 2012 Looks good - I can't see any sign there was ever a scratch. Good to know you can get good repair companies out there :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
britpop95 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys , the scratch was all down the drivers wing and then the drivers door aswell so basically a horizontal key scratch going from the wing to the door handle. Im no sprayer but i would never know it had ever been painted im very impressed with the job and for the price aswell £130 i thought was a very good price.

James. 7 Posted April 22, 2012 From here the paint looks like glass. Certainly looks like a high standard of repair. What's next then ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
britpop95 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Well James yesterday as you know wigan had decent weather for once haha. So my enthusiasm was boomin so i took the corrado badge off the back went for a trip to the range and bought some "vw flash red" primer and lacuer and sprayed the badge red, very pleased with the result tidys the back of the car up quite nicely. Are you going to the soccerdome meet sunday? I read the r32 owners are going aswell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
