Ouch! I guess that's what you get for living in a student flat right near a campus of 18,000 students, and not having any off street parking... I knew something like this would happen sooner or later, but was hoping it wouldn't occur only 4 weeks into the varsity year!

The scratch is on the passengers door, about halfway between the handle and the window, and is about 15cm long. It continues faintly all the way back to the tailight, but that part is only in the paint. Going into the panelbeaters tomorrow for a quick sand and re-spray, just so that it doesn't RUST.
