Ouch! Thats not funny man!

People who do that should have the same done to their cars, although they probably drive beaten up heaps so wouldn't give a toss.

Maybe they should have a sharp object scratched across their foreheads ... carefully so it reads an appropriate word ... starts with a "w" and ends in an "r" or if they've got small heads you could start it with a "c" and and it with a "t".

Sorry to see that, I hope it has'nt gone down to the ally? A common theme with our society at the moment, is some people have absolutely "NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS PEOPLE PROPERTIES !!" That really sucks !

Jim, maybe if the X was parked on your base, the culprits could be shot on site as they are on a sensitve, secure & military installation!?

Look on the bright side! What goes around comes around!

Martin, it looks like you will need a respray job soon if they are stone chips .....or is it just a dirty lens?

It's really no consolation, but it could have been a wing or the whole side of your car.
How severe is the scratch? From the picture it looks reasonably deep.
I'm no expert on getting scratches out, (I try) but I've seen what good paintshops can do and I'm sure somebody clever could have a good shot at losing most of that without the need for a repray.

I've used some scratch remover on a couple of NSX's recently and for a two minute effort was very impressed with the results.
I have some more products now and they've made the process easier.

If you do need the nose sprayed, they may need to blend in the bonnet and wings to get a perfect match. This sounds like a nightmare, but if done properly is no big deal.

I know people go on about how good OEM NSX paint is, but most cars in the UK have had paint somewhere and if done well is no problem.

It's unrealistic for cars not to need some paint in the course of their lives. They're meant to be driven and although I wince at the odd rock hitting the front of the car, I guess it's a fact of life.

It's certainly worth doing what Darren suggested and getting a professional opinion.

Good luck,

James.

The front bumper, like the rear bumper, is actually plastic ... not any consolation I know ... but if it has gone through the paint to the plastic ... it is possible to repair damaged plastic ... I know as I've had some bits put right on my NSX recently ... check this thread.
