Ok just got my 53 Octy vRS and found this on the passenger side front wing, i'm guessing it's from the previous owner not cleaning of some bird **** quick enough, what do you guys reackon the chances of getting this sorted under the paint warranty are (still under the 3 year warranty till October)

Paint and corrosion warranty covers rust and perferation from the inside of a panel iirc. Not bird lime damage.

damn i'll have to try and sweet talk my dealer

ok if i cant get the dealer to sort it any idea how much it should cost to get this sorted?

anyone?

What panel is it. I've been quoted £250 for a panel before if it's a respray, however I would suggest finding a person with a detailer, who may be able to clean it all up for you.

front passenger side wing

I recon about £250 as I was quoted that to rix a small scratch where some less then desirable left a supermarket trolly along side my car causeing a small scratch.

Try to find somebody with a porter cable near you, they will probably do the whole car for less and make it all look like new. (Search on here for porter cable should do it)

If you are thinking of a respray you may as well try Meg's scratch X, it's a hand applied polish which some people on detailing world have had good results moving bird bomb burns.

From the pic it does look like just the clear coat is damaged and you have some swirls, see if anyone local has a PC and they can bring it up lovely and get rid of the swirls.

Just paid £175 for a bonnet respray so a wing shouldn'y be much more expensive.
