I know the feeling, my 166 is covered in scratches of someone elses carelessness. If I only could get one in the act... But that doesn't help you of coarse. I hope the bodyshop deliveres a good job, so you beautyful 166 is immaculate once again. Good luck, Yurinondisclosed_email@example.com (Yuri166)Mon, 11 Aug 2008 22:37:03 +0000 Re: Somebody scratched my 166!!!!Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185575,from=rss#post185575https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185575,from=rss#post185575The scratch is quite deep and will not polish out. I took it to a bodyshop and the guy there told me they will paint the sratch with a very fine paintbrush with a few layers until the paint sits slightly proud then cut it back with a polish then apply lacquer. I would rather have a professional job done rather than buy one of those kits and try do it it myself. The bodyshop assure me the repair will be totally invisible.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Midlifecrisis)Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:08:40 +0000 Re: Somebody scratched my 166!!!!Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185574,from=rss#post185574https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185574,from=rss#post185574Tjeerd, I agree. If someone makes a mistake, have at least the guts to take the consequenses (leaving a note etc.). It could also have been a child who didn´t notice. Anyway you look at it, still a nasty scratch, which makes you very mad. I have one like this on the middle of one of the doors. Do you need a color matched polisher to mask it? Any suggesttions?

The car really stood out on the photographs as looking so like-new and well taken care of. Guess I shouldn't have made the compliments, it's like tempting the devil... Good luck, hope you can polish it away with Meguiar's Scratch-X or something, although I think you can only mask it to some degree but not really make it gone.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Tjeerd128)Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:55:44 +0000 Re: Somebody scratched my 166!!!!Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185567,from=rss#post185567https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185567,from=rss#post185567If done on purpose it is realy time to get the axe and chop of some bodyparts. If accidently, than you can leave a note with a name and/or telephone number. When no note is left after doing this kind of things it is done on purpose in my book! So again, time for the axe!   nondisclosed_email@example.com (Ton001)Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:48:02 +0000 Re: Somebody scratched my 166!!!!Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185558,from=rss#post185558https://balfaromeo166clubforum.runboard.com/p185558,from=rss#post185558It doesn´t help you in anyway, but is looks like an accidental scratch. Still very careless, so . I know scratches which are done on purpose, we had a fool in our neighborhood who did not like people parking slightly on the pavement. That type of scratch starts with a deep indent and ends in a straigh line, caused by pulling away the tool.

Its going to cost £135 to put right!!! People are so careless or just plain jealous. It gets me really mad!! If I thought it was done on purpose I would have the person who done it have their hands removed with an axe nondisclosed_email@example.com (Midlifecrisis)Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:11:43 +0000
