    Hi all

    I took the bikes on holiday and my bike rack has left a couple of deep scratches (see pictures) any ideas how to fix it?

    I assume I might have to call in the professionals...

    :(

    Yes those won't buff out. The hatch area can be blended in ok but entire spoiler will need to be repainted as very hard to blend plastic.
    In USA that would be $700+. Not sure what body work/paint goes for in UK.

    Does your bike rack present metal at the mating surface or are you missing rubber protectors on the rack?

    Actually it was the peddles rubbing, I put something on the peddle but it came off along the road. I should have got a roof rack!
