I can't believe it but I have found a scratch ( 1" long) just above the drivers door on our black contrast roof. The scratch is fairly fine but I have no idea how sonething could have scratched it at that height (perhaps a branch?).

Can you get touch up paint for the black contrast roof? It looks like it had more of a plastic type finish compared to the bodys gloss finish.

check duckworth parts uk website I know they have touch up paints and check with Dan who provides discount to forum members (from what I know)
Oddly I have a similar scratch on the rear passengers near the door handle still can’t see how that could have happened. It’s not deep looks like a surface scratch hope will come out with T-cut or something like that .

Toothpaste Idea I say no more....
Doug he wants to make it black not whiter than white with a ring of confidence.........................
Seriously, if it isn't a deep scratch then wouldn't coloured polish at least fill it in a bit without the abrasiveness of T cut

Tim. Laughing
Toothpaste can work as a cutting agent to remove light scratches. It's it's abrasiveness that does the job, in the same wall as T-cut works. Please dry on a area out of slight first (under the bonnet).
