Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi all

    I got some scratch repair stuff from aldi or lidl whichever, anyway point is it removed all the scratches and marks but problem is there's some marks that have gone through the paint and primer and the metal is showing. Does anyone know if i went to a motor factors with the paint code would they be able to give me a paint pen or something that i could use to touch up the bare metal bits that are showing or do i need to prime the area first or maybe just better leaving it as is ?

    Thanks in advance

    What car are you driving Zorba? If it's newish, you don't want to devalue it by doing a touch-up rather than a proper job. If it's of an age where it doesn't matter so much, you should be able to get touch up paint from your local main dealer. They'll be able to tell from your reg/chassis what the correct paint code is.

    Hi

    Where is the best place to get a scratch repair kit for a slate grey peugeot 207. The scratch is down to the primer.:mad:

    Thanks.
