Default To spray or not to spray

that is the question...

My S1 has a few stone chips and marks around the arch "as normal" Now do I get these sprayed up? Or do i leave them .
My thinking behind leaving them is that it has done 30k and only had a bonnet re spray due to stone chips and looking at it from fluro lights you can see the sheene difference. I was thinking about keeping the originality at the cost of a few chips.

Thoughts? :E

I'd have the full kit and the bonnet restored at a reputable body shop where they can replicate the paint colour and sheen.

Especially as your bonnet has already been done (not perfectly from your description).

I have a guy who's a real master at paint - you absolutely cannot tell it's been repainted when he does it.
