Flip and tarnation. Just managed to scratch the Supra!

I've only gone and managed to catch the passenger side front wing on one of the poxy, metal flower baskets that hang from the wall of our driveway. Not very happy as the last few months have been Supra-costly.

So, a bit of ye old T-Cutte, a phonecall to Chipsaway or a proper repair? Is the wing made of aluminium or is it a steel piece and likely to start rusting?

Hey, here's some pics. Apologies for the odd purple tint. Must be a camera macro setting thing.

unlucky bud, I'd get it done properly, won't be expensive at all.

Feck that sucks....it will come out dont worry....is it pretty deep??

Ouch! Will need to be done properly, blended etc or will stand out like a saw thumb!

I guess it gives me a chance to get at least one panel done in red.

Oh that old excuse, that's what happens when you play with levels in Photoshop to remove the Pink tinge.

Seriously though Martin that's really bad luck, I'm sure it'll polish out, if not completely then enough for you not to notice every time you look at it. if it still annoys you afterwards you can go for a full respray colour change

It's through to the white stuff (primer?).

Too bad Martin, hope you get it sorted soon and not too costly mate.

Shaun.

Not good when that happens m8 - It's bloody terrible when you take care of your car and something like this occurs!

Mikey, you must be in neighbourhood watch with eyesight like that m8 - sorry; couldn't resist!!!! :haha:

hmm that may be a whole respray of the wing if it cant be blended

Respray of the whole car??

That'd be nice. Could get her done in red.

T-cut?????

Bugger, sorry to see that.

Hope you get it sorted and it isnt too costly!

It WILL look shit. get the wing done and if you can get the colour match properly as it will be different from the stock colour.

Respray of the whole car??

just the wing

You certainly did a proper job there, respray the whole car, sod the expense I say!!

SHIT........... now youve gone and done it

Isn't it just the bonnet that's ALU?

Bad luck dude

In the short term just fill the mess with a touch up pen in thin layers until it's level and then T-Cut it down a bit - I know a fairly honest respray guy on the edge of Leeds but I'm not sure how much that will be.

£10 quid says chipaway can match it

they did a bit of work where i used to work and their matching skill was uber

Chipsaway CANNOT match a JDM supra in code 3L2 red paint. Tried and failed already. The best they could do was a super eye hurting red......

Ouch, i know how you feel though. Just the other day i wasnt concentrating when pulling in a parking spot with a kerb at the end and BANG. Took 2 fairly large chips out of my front bumper. Gonna have a go with fibreglass and some touch up paint to sort it out temporarily and get he whole bumper resprayed when i can afford it.

Unlucky mate, hope you can get it repaired for a good price. Where did the hanging basket end up ?.

Unlucky fella, I should come out pretty much altogether with a good Mop and Polish.....
