i have used chips away before when i did my rear wheel arch..did a good job..
got him to go round the car for my stone chips as well.. very impressed..
i think it was around the £100 mark but that was back in 05...
advantage is they come to you, beats having to take your car the the body shop and waiting

cheers mate i have got a couple of chips on my rear wing the body shop said they would spray that wing as well for me for anouther 100 wich i think is a bit steep

daylight robbery that is...so £270 in total...
i would think chips away should be cheaper...or there is car/ dent doctor..
have a look in your yellow pages or phone book for them..there is a few companies doing this now maybe worth shopping about for the best price.

when i bought my last car a couple of years ago the garage did not have time to get a large scuff sorted on the front bumper so arranged for chips away to come to my house and do it at my convinience and there cost. the bloke did a really good job and touched up a couple of other small marks here and there well worth trying ..

I had a similar experience last weekend - I washed the car for the first time since picking up the LCR and noticed a fair few scrathes and dinks that were well hidden when I had a good look over the car when at the dealers.

I don't like scratches, dinks but I'm the sort of person that will wait for a year or so and then get them all done at once, because lets face it the f people at car parks really don't give a hoot about bashing your car. But if it is bad scratch it must go!

I feel for you matey, this sort of thing infuriates me... I had something similar happen last year when some workmen flicked a load of gravel all over the side of my Leon, from end to end there were tiny pot marks, it took me 5 months to get the money out of them, I've only had the car sprayed a few weeks ago.

Then I washed it last week and theres a bloody dent in the drivers door, that wasn't there before, it sometimes makes me wonder if it's worth having a nice car, with all the inconsiderate WRS you seem to get in car parks.

I always try to park well away from others, then you come back to your car only to find some halfwit, has parked 3 inches away, it drives me insane
