How did it happen??? That's a real shame Lyndon... are you gutted?
I accidently clipped a concrete wall the other day and it scuffed my rear guard - I was gutted.

Hope you can beat it out without too much trouble.

you should be able to beat it out and then re-spray that section without too much effort.
Do you have a mate that works as a panel beater / paint shop?

Where abouts are you?

definitely don't cut it out. you would just make more problems for yourself.
should only take an afternoon to get back in to shape.

one of the reasons i drive a beddie cause its real steel, just imagine if that was a high priced Tarago or similar, you coulda cut it out with a can opener and glued a bit of plastic over it  :D
