Why are you blaming the gritters Doc? Do they use big stones to stop you skidding oop norf 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

My sympathies DD, I know how you feel, I got a chip on the bonnet when it was less than a fortnight into ownership.First item I bought was a touch up paint. Got a chip on both shoulders now
I'm sooo anti-touch up paint, think it looks worse than the chip.
Anyone had an amourguard or similar clear plastic applied to save the front end. My Range Rover looked sand blasted after 50k on the clock.
No, but very interested if anyone has, even my lowly 4 wheeled Tarmac eating car looks as though it's hit a few wild 12 guage shots on the way through it's 53thousand miles over the last 3 years.Bodsys Brake Bible
They said they can do any car, but will need it for a couple of days if they didn't have the templates, as they would need to make them at no cost.
A few quid does it and when it gets to look tatty, you can just peel it off and have it re-done.
Cheaper than getting a bumper respray, by a long way.

Can we still get touch up paint. I ordered a paint stick and ended up with a spray can and lacquer being told the paint sticks arent made anymore.Duncan

Thanks Gazzer, I've e-mailed them to find out costs/availability.
C.£325 Did an excellent job, only took a few hours. Ask to speak to Lyn at tell her you heard about them from Disco3.
Appreciate that they might be too far away from you.

Might be too far, but it's got to be worth it rather than the the poor re-spray it'll need it later life.
Anyone know what the corosion warranty is btw? I take it they're no longer alluminium body panels or are they?Bodsys Brake Bible
