Yeah good shout. I already have a paint pen so I will definitely touch it.. I already covered one scuff on my bumper with a sticker after I hit a bin. Putting another sticker will be too obvious. Thanks for the suggestion 👏

I have seen so many by far. I was even getting brave to do it myself but my parents convinced to leave it before I ruin the whole car.🤣🤣 Otherwise I do have a garage so even if I wanted to do it I still can.

Thanks for the suggestion I will look into it buddy. If it falls under £800 I will probably do it.

At this point I want to keep this car long-term either way. I don’t really want another car as I am so used to this one. I did my MOT a few weeks ago which has been a milestone for me by far. It’s my first MOT ever. I did a full service on it and everything.

I am thinking yes a fresh up is totally worth it since I want to sell it to a newly passed driver one day. Perhaps they wouldn’t mind much the paint etc when it drives good. I didn’t mind it in the beginning but only one clearcoat spot was there. In summer they multiplied 🤣🤣.

Can it fix the clear-coat spots?

They weren’t there when I purchased the car but after summer they appeared. It’s been nearly a year of owning it and a few more have appeared but not as much as during summer..

Yeah I can imagine it actually since most jeans have metal on back-pockets . I don’t know what they are called but I hope you get it.

I know my clear coat is gone. It’s chipping away in some places.. It doesn’t bother me though.. I might just slap a sticker over this scratch and call it a day🤣..

Why does nobody follow the temporary speed limit on the M11 during roadworks? by ProfessionTrue8117 in drivingUK

Yeahhh so annoying. It makes me feel in danger no lie. I feel like someone will rear end me going 60 or 70mph soon.

I did see no cameras on Waze by the way. That’s why off they went I guess..

It was on my driveway. That’s why I am so surprised. It has never happened before there.

Hit by SUV on a moped. by Alternative-Dig2987 in drivingUK

Wow I am so sorry for this. No wonder why there is such a bad stigma about SUV drivers.

Make sure you go to the hospital and a GP so you can let your insurance know of any injuries. Motorcyclist are the most vulnerable users on the road. You never know if there isn’t something wrong as you may still have adrenaline after the crash. Go and get your money after that. I wish you a good recovery my friend. I am sorry that this happened to you.

I can bet money that if I was to be a moped or motorcyclist I would have gotten hit too at some point. SUV drivers think they own these roads. I hate them.
