Sorry to see that mate happened to me last year not only the side panel but around the rear on my brand new RS!...managed to buff it all out though. Try using a polisher machine plus some polishing compound maybe even wet sand with 2000-3000 grit paper you might just be bale to buff some of it out. If deep you can by hand put some paint in it then let it dry & buff & polish can work wonders!

This guys has a great YT channel with some great DIY tips.https://www.youtube.com/@cvrpov/videos

Yeah, I'm going to get a DA on it later today. Running my finger nail over it, it's not that deep. It doesn't feel like it's through the clearcoat actually so I reckon it will buff out. Just annoying.

Sexy cars being sexy.

Late FD vs Early FD

Utterly timeless the FD is. Still looks fresh today.

Was that at Brands Hatch? Drove past there on my way back from a morning drive on Sunday, passed loads of JDM cars on the A20.

Any plans for the car? These seem common as VIP builds but rare to see them modified outside of Japan.

Not much really. I enjoy learning about them, so once its ready I'll just enjoy it. I'll up the boost a bit but otherwise just get it looking good and using it. I've been saving for something much more expensive and this was bought partly to contain my burning pockets. I've also kinda come to the realisation that I get as much, if not more fun from cheap old Japanese stuff.

It was indeed! Definitely the reason why you passed loads of JDM cars

Ah yea those guys decided to entertain the crowd by revving the nuts off their cars and the whole pop and bang thing. Probably the only part of the show that grinds my gears. I'm getting old.
