Nope, it happened overnight. It's definitely someone with nothing better to do than damage other peoples property. The scratch goes from behind the headlight over the wheel arch, across the doors and onto the rear fender.

All Repaired!!

Grove Autos in Beckenham have done themselves proud and thanks to Marvin Bristol for giving me their name.
I'll put a few before and after shots up later but for now here's the car at Grove when I picked it up.  I had them black the centre of the lower bumper - think it looks very smart.  The repair is great, the paint match perfect and Allan couldn't have been nicer. Job done! (Apologies for the rubbish shot - very bright British Summer day)

Pleased you got it sorted and that the bodyshop were reputable. Great excuse to get in a cosmetic mod as well!  :signLOL:

You gotta take every opportunity that presents itself!
So out of an annoying scratch came the chance to subtly mod the lower rear bumper. And I think it looks rather good. Decided against a matt finish which seems prevalent on every Beemer I see and went for gloss black. We'll see how it looks in 6 months.

Glad you got it sorted, the damage looked a lot worse in real life than the photos. Repair looks great.

'57 DSG GTI alas now gone, but not forgotten....
Now motorway cruising in a 61 Mondeo Titanium X Sport 2.2 TDCi. 500+ miles to a tankful and bucketloads of torque :O Ok, it's not a GTI but it's fun... and that's what counts ;)
