Don't go wasting any money on Lottery tickets this month will you Wiggs 
Sorry to see that, it's heartbreaking. You can see how Asda keep their costs down; no yellow hatching in the crush zone, no camera watching the gate movement, no impact sensors on the gate. Lucky no kids were playing around there at the time, they'd have been grated. You may be lucky with the paint; I guess it depends on which one is softer; I'll be hoping the baked two-pack on the car is harder (even in black) than a hand painted gate, and that the white is just friction melted onto your car.
Perhaps the time to put up a sign up page for a group detailing session?  Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

So sorry wiggs. Judging form the photos the white looks like transfer from the gate. I hope that is the case and my heart is with you. 2000 Discovery 2 Kent Green (totaled) R.I.P.

I could do on mine ...but i have a £250 excess ...i think i would rather spend it on some gadgets than have it resprayed.
Im only going to get more scratches from off roading anyway .
You know me ..if it had been still very noticable then i would of considered a respray ..but it dosent look that bad .
The wife thought i was telling porkies last night ..she only saw it this morning and even went round to the drivers door for a look  G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Now THAT looks a whole lot better Looks like you're luck has changed; better get some Lotto tickets after all!  Dr. Ian Malcolm:
