I woul personal say a re-spray! So get them filled and get the bonnet sprayed  :happy2: think that would be the best option!

Yeah there isnt really a cheap or quick fix for removing stone chips mate. Like abouve, save and get a re-spray. I think im getting mine done in the spring - £125 from my pro- cant go wrong

Non metallic colours are very east to touch in, wetsand and then polish back up. If your good at it, the results can be very very good and it will take a very keen eye to notice the chips. I done quite a lot of it on my candy white mk4 ibiza fr. Looks mint when done.
