If I were you I'd get some fully cellulose paint mixed up and fill it all in with a fine brush making sure it's nice a thick and stands off then let it dry , rub it back with 1500 wet, wet and dry sand paper and get a machine polisher on it !!

fixing such things always cost much,because you can't get rid of it unless you respray the whole side,which will cost much these days.

Yeah, and the whole metallic matching wont be perfect :/ I need a rich person to crash into the drivers side, be honest and then buy me another one, because they don't want to go through insurance haha

How about some sort of vinyl strip to cover up the damage? A respray will cost a fortune, and touching up won't be sufficient because that looks quite deep. I'm sure you could find a stripe vinyl like that below which may help to hide the damage cheaply?

Problem is its not a basic straight line, it goes up and down, stops for like 20cm after the lock then starts again, thing is typically the door due to be resprayed has the least amount of damage, the Wing is the deepest. Might try the suggestion of the paint, sand and polish...I'm gutted honestly, ive done well not to stack this car, yet the damage is from others :/ always on drivers side. :'(

It's bad though, looks 10 times worse in reality.

You could visit a breakers yard and look for a door and front wing in matching colour, there are plenty of peugeot specific breakers yards. If you can fit them yourself (there are how to's on here) you'd save money over respraying those parts and the more factory paint you have on your car the better in my opinion.
That would leave you with just the quarter panel to respray, you might find someone to blend it in for £100 but the best result will be to respray the whole panel so there isn't any noticeable blending, maybe along the lines of £300 for a top quality job.

Go to the local college and ask the tutor on the body repair course if they want a project car for the trainees to work on. Slip him £100 and you'll have a decent looking job. I've known a few people do this but it does help if the tutor is willing to take the cash.
Problem with getting second hand panels is that the paint can look aged compared to the freshly painted panel and will look like a patchwork quilt. Better to have the full side done, which doesn't cost that much more since the panels are adjacent to each other.

If you can catch your finger nail in the scrape then a rotary polisher will not be able to polish it out. You could see a local detailer to see what they recommend

I'm a Painter and a proper respray is your best option what Johnbyron is good advice if you can get the paint code you can buy small tins 500ml ect and fill the scratch in then flat it all down with 1500-2000 wet n dry. the panel will look rough as a badgers ballbag but if you can borrow a machine polisher and wet polish it, it will look very good only downside if its metallic paint it will need a laquer coat so you will still be able to see the scratch but it will look a million times better than it does and only cost around £30.

Sand it prime it spray it lacquer it, you've only 40 quid to lose if it comes out bad, some b*****d went for my satnav screw driver straight through the door unlocked it that way and I had a hold in the door so I've welded 12mm thick steel plates behind the door locks, fillered the hole sanded and sprayed its not perfect but you have to look real close to notice it, alternatively if it bothers me that much ill get a new door. But if try spraying it if it were me, then go on the hunt and rip their f******g heads off, people like this really get to me! A friend of my father in laws picked up his new Corsa ltd edition 62 plate 2 weeks later came out to find 2 locking nuts missing and one loose one, he's since changed the bolts each pair had a different locking nut the remaining 12 nuts 6 are 19mm 6 are 17mm so it should p**s the little b******s off when they try to steal them again, he also installed CCTV. I'm just glad I live in a village and over the rd has CCTV which over looks the front of my drive

I'd get a can of spray paint, spray some into the cap to there's some liquid paint settled at the bottom, then take a fine paint brush and try your best to fill it in.

That's been done on the damage to the paintwork previous to this, I got paint specially mixed, it's still not a perfect match, hence the door being resprayed soon, which is typical, the car was going to look next to perfect again  
It just p**ses me off, keep myself to myself, don't annoy anyone, and some s**t does it. I honestly hope they get run over by 206, in this colour. Shits.
To thoese who have said about paint prime and polish, any specific type of paint? If so where can I get it?
