    My nose is scratched on one side..not sure if I shod get this repaired..guessing will cost near £100 + lacquer over the stickers..

    Or maybe get a red sticker and sticker both sides..

    Anyone got any thoughts?

    In the car trade they have refurb guys, that come round who could do a local repair on that for about £50

    I guess that would be like a smart repair. I had to have a similar thing done to one of my side panels after I dropped it. They masked off the stickered area and repaired below it. Yours looks tricky though if they were to mask your stickers.

    Alternatively I dunno what sticker you could use for that areas. Maybe a forum url sticker running down either side?

    Chipsaway are a national franchise. A couple of my Audi centres have their own on site, Leicester, Nottingham etc, not sure if West London have, it is classes as a Smart repair using a slightly different paint, but as said, there isnt a lot of room to blend the pain thickness out before you get to the stickers.

    Me i would mask it with masking tape, but roll back the edge of the tape to stop a thick edge of paint and then paint in matching aersoal and then stiicker it

    I'd either bite the bullet and get it repaired or live with it. I reckon you'd struggle to get a sticker to cover that.
