hi all can you advice as what i should do, got a very nasty paint chip on bonnet due to drive down the motorway, v.w was going to repair it free of charge but said its too deep as it has gone down to metal, i know theres a pen you can get but think its too deep for that help i dont want a rusty eos!

Hmm - expensive to have whole bonnet sprayed! I wouldn't use the pen on something like this - what you need is an expert scratch/paint repairer. Someone who specialises in small scratches like that [just had my wifes Polo touched up] - we have a local guy but no use to you down here - my advice is either try local advertising or ask dealer [I bet they know who is good!! These people usually have work with garages 'touching up' part-exchange cars for the forecourt]!

I know how you feel

Good Luck

You could try 'ChipsAway' they seem to be very good and small repair like this and the costs are reasonable in comparison to a whole panel repair.

I had a job like this done by Chips Away (as recommended by GOgg) and they did a fantastic job - it was impossible to tell. This is exactly what they specialise in - just doing a small localised area without having to have the whole panel resprayed. Most cities have one. Should cost about £80
