not through the paint and very fine so very faint, no idea what caused them. I doubt they will even rust.
is some form of t cut an option, the paintwork seems different to other makes.
any ideas welcome
thanks

Small tube of Farecla G3 and some elbow grease with a microfibre will probably do. If they are metal deep scratches you need to add paint to fill the scratches and knock it back with very fine wet n dry. YouTube is your friend.

As to the cause, one possibility is cats - I've had them scratch bonnet paintwork in the past, presumably jumping up onto it when the engine's still warm on cold nights (or just jumping up onto it for the hell of it).

Scrathed bonnet .... hmm I had that !
Went shopping in Lidl and put the goods in a cardboard box as I didn't have a bag.
It was rather heavy so as I got to the car I placed it carefully ( or so I thought ) onto the bonnet whilst I dug out my keys.
Never thought about it until a few days later when the sun shone on the car thus illuminating the scratches / scuffs.
Hey ho and all that and a phew as my Multispace is '07 plated and mainly my dog carrying wagon / general workhorse.
Glad it wasn't a more expensive car, not that I want my " old beast " to get marked up.
