MG4 Trophy ER
Had the red MG4 only 5 weeks and someone has reversed into the car.

No major damage, but there is a tiny chip onto the lower plastic about 1/2 the size of a thumb tack head that has gone right down beyond the paint and undercoat, it wont rust, but once next winter sets in water getting underneath and turning to ice will lift the paint. It's located off side rear approx 30 com from bottom of panel and 50 com from when arch. Dont want a complete respray but it could be touched up professionally after ideas of specialists in Kent . It's the wife's car and she absolutely loves it. unfortunately it's going to need ceramic coating re applied to the area.
 
Did you get the details of the driver as they may want to avoid going through their insurance and pay for you to get it done professionally.

I got paint code off car for Chips away, and they came back with , Blazing Red, 3 stage pearlescent finish, Quoted £270, plus I will have to take it back to detailer to get the ceramic patched in, quoted £60 max depending on how much polishing it back will be. Thank god , I was expecting in excess of 600.
