First scratch-Need advice
It's only 5mm long maybe 1/2 mm wide in my 2007 VY coupe, bit it's right at the nose, dead center and down to the black plastic on the bumper. I know only I would notice this, but it's driving me crazy having it less than a month.
Should I get a professional to touch it up? Or just let it alone?

If it's that bad, pro. touch up wouldn't be a bad idea.

can you post a pic? we could help you better with decisions that way.
this sounds quite deep, so that it's obviously though the clear coat, even though the base coat , right? then the two options you might look at would be
Also pics of touchup123 on my web page
getting a repaint is the coward's way out
-- play with it yourself first, you have nothing to lose, since (if your results are horrible) you'll just get a repaint anyway.

- standard touchup paint, clear coat over the top, wet sand down to level and buff to normal gloss - not as hard as it sounds, anyone can do it.
- touchup123 - a great coverup, which avoids the need for wet sanding, and you could cover the entire nose and be done with it in 1/2 hour or less. Give their web site a look.
