Today we went on a long drive and when we got back home I was looking at how good this car looks at the front and notice a stone chip on the left hand side of my bonnet, that's the only place where there's damage to this car, rest of the car is in perfect condition.
Any suggestions where to get it fixed from in Melbourne for cheap????

Stone chips are bound to happen. Invest in some Dr colorchip or get the car wrapped at the front.

The paint on these cars is quite soft and unless you have a bra (clear or otherwise), you had better get used to stone chips.

I got my first chip @800 miles. I had the clear bra in the trunk too. I installed the clear bra the next weekend, I highly recommend it, the paint these days is water based and very susceptible to chipping.
Installing the clearbra is not for everybody, but if you watch 15 youtube videos on it, you can get it mostly right... Or just write a big check for it.

Deep Impact Blue GT (soon). '04 Astra Convertible
When I just went there, the Deep Impact Blue looked rather beige

I have DIB from Dr Colorchip AU and it's a perfect match. Don't worry about what colour they show on the website

Wow, that stuff looks pretty good, has anyone on this forum actually used it?. Is it that easy to use, and produce that good a result. If so I will be ordering some. I have had my Mustang just over 3 months now, and (touch wood) no chips yet, but like death and taxes, they are inevitable. Thanks.

I have used it several times, its not perfect. If you look closely you can see that there has been stone chips, its just that the stone chips are no longer as visible
