Hello Skodafolks

Hi all,
Just came upon this site and signed up right away.

Now I'll have to find out how to fix the paint gouges on the wing of my red fabia (that I've had for precisely 1 week) sustained from scraping a garden wall.

Help!

Welcome

Where abouts are you?

Got any pics of the wing you can post?

I guess find a place like Chips away or local bodyshop for the repair?

Hi,
Nice to be here - I'm in Glasgow.

Here's a pic of the damage.

Hopefully I can DIY it, d'you think?

You might get lucky, but I fear a respray (and maybe a bit of filler) may be in order, seeing how it's down to the bare plastic in a couple of places...

I certainly don't think a bottle of T-Cut and some elbow grease will be enough, I'm afraid...

Thanks for that - have to go offline now - dad's taxi.
Speak again soon.

Hiya.
That looks like it might be a job for a hot knife and some flexible filler and primer.
