it doesn`t look as it could be polished out  :-/
Scratch removed paste sorted my mig when brushed with somebody`s black bumper but guess that rock scratched your paint..?

That was damned unlucky for you Richie! :'( :'( :'(

Although obviously not good, it could have been a lot worse.  At least judging by the picture it is all underneath the back. ;)

The guy we bought our Mig from will testify to that statement being true.
New bumper & boot for his Scooby after he failed to notice a lampost through his "limo black" rear screen, and then a new rear screen after he failed to notice the 10mm socket he left sitting on the boot lip when he closed the aforementioned boot lid after fitting  ;D

Had just loaded my Astra GTE after playing a gig at a night club in Bridgend and was using my side mirrors to reverse as I had no inside mirror due to having knocked it off a few nights previously whilst swinging a few "indicators of dis-pleasure" at two guys I caught trying to remove my stereo one evening in Swansea.
I think I caused more damage to the inside of my car than they did.  ::)

Anyhoo, I digress, as I reversed watching either side there was an almighty thump. I could see nothing in my side mirrors but as I got out I discovered I'd reversed into an oak tree slightly narrower than the car. I was moving slowly so very little damage fortunately. ([size=9]Muppet ![/size])
