Rear Tailgate repair on bottom edge

Post by bobgolden » Mon May 11, 2015 9:13 am

Somehow, like a muppet, I managed to trigger the rear tailgate while I was reversed against a stone building and now have a 1/4" scrape right on the edge of the tailgate. It's taken the paint down to the metal but because of where it is, I don't think I'll get away with a Chipsaway type of repair (it's similar to having chipped the edge of a door against something).

Any ideas where I might be able to get a repar in S Yorks ?  The car is only 9months old so I'd like a decent job rather than a blob of touch up.

Good news is that Sytner will fix it for £60 and they did a good job of the dodgy roofline when I first got the car so should be fine.
