So many have done it I have practised on the inside of the door you can't mess it up with unigrit the makes wipe away. If anything I may have to re touch some bit and try again. Make sure you leave the paint a few days to harden thou or it will just rub off. Will update my thread when I can but have no camera at the mo and my phone won't transfer pis to the pc for some reason!

seriously read that thread it is gold dust! I got my touch up paint form the dealers not paints 4u as he says cos there is a TPS down the road from me. I bought 2500 Megs unigrit from cleanyourcar.co.uk as there is none in my local halfords only coarse stuff and I also got sfx1 from clean your car it arrived the next day. I am following that thread and other people's advice from it basically.

No comment on insurance not standard part so should be declared is all I will say! My front bumper was like yours looked worse4 actually but now just the bonnet as the facelift one is not bad yet but obviously it is inevitable! I think with that many that close a respray is obviously the only option!
