Sorry did a search and couldn't find anything
I made a horrific discovery after having my car in for a service
Found a scratch in the driver door sill and it's deep
Dealer denied anything saying they are careful and they couldn't have
So I bought a set of scuff plates from chromemycar
Suggestions on applying the double sided tape for best results as normally my attempts fall off
Any recommendations. Paint is new as it's a new car but I think there's wax on the paint
Thanks guys it's my first scratch on my brand new lancer and it's kind of heartbreaking

Alright cool. Will give that a shot. Dealer still insisting they didn't do it. They want me to take car down Thursday to get a quote on repairs before they even decide to fix it. And they can't do it at times Im available. I cant exactly tell how deep the scratch is. But should I bother with touch up paint or some sort of repair to the paint prior to applying the scuff plates?

Goto bunnings and buy the heavy duty double sided tape. You can use it to stick stuff to concrete walls its that good. And its reasonably inexpensive to buy. Works a treat

Re: Making scuff plates stick
Should always make sure surface is free of debris especially polish, wax etc:. Metho: will usually give you an acceptable surface.
Item you couldn't stick will need new double sided tape. Bit of warmth from a hair drier can help bonding.
