I would give it a clean up with some t-cut and see how it looks :?:

If there's the risk of it rusting then get it sorted by a pro, shouldn't cost too much, approx 250 ??

That car park is an absolute B*****D! (could be me of course). I did the same thing to my old Toyota 4X4. I got mine repaired for £150 cash from a chap in Glasgow. Great job.

Oh cock, pics sent to Steve Walker and might pop in this week with it.

Might be 7 years old but was planning on running it in to the gound over the next 100k and would rather not loose it to rust after all it was only resprayed last year by MB. Oh cock if I do not get it done by them then I would loose the corrosion warrenty wont I ?

I think that you are right there I would at least check with MB to see what they say. Bad luck mate.

We hit the exact same spot with our PUG 307CC (when we had it), and the damage looks identical. We were charged £300 by http://www.mrmcoachworks.co.uk/. Very good job they did, could not see it in any light, flawless.
