Mother ******* ****

My first hit and run incident in a car park.

Got back to my car @ Pink Elephant parking @ Heathrow last night to find this and no note on the windscreen

The carpark company couldn't give a **** which is equally annoying as I (well my company) have handed over £1500+ in the last year.

Looks like I'm not going on my mates Stag Do in May as the £400 I'd allocated for that will have to go on repairs. Could go through insurance but that would load my premiums by 10% for the next years which will cost me more in the long run.

Bastads, and that looks like it's screwed both panels

I hated airport parking for that particular reason! I'm sorry to hear that dude - that sucks. A lot.

tossers! Yep that happened to me on the M6 toll road services carpark. Mint focus so I parked away from the other cars, come back and the rear wheel arch is buggered. I was about to get it sorted when some git then did the other one. Nobody cares any more and no that isn't through rose tinted specs. If I ever see someone hitting another car and driving off I'll write a note as a witness, leave on the car for the other person.

I'll be sorting it this summer as the car is fine bar that, but its going to be the wrong side of 4-500 as the panel will need respraying and I will want a exact match.

You should see all the dents on my dads 309 from carparks. He washes it every two weeks, keeps it in the garage and still it gets covered.

Looks a nasty knock to me with it clipping the arch. Bumma Dude. I never understand why we have to pay for parking if it is not protected or you are not covered by There insurance

All of the dents and scratches on mine poor little car have been anonymous, without even a note for a single one!

That sucks

Why do you think I was so suprised that the guy who bumped my corssa left a note? Definitely the minority of people who hit cars are honest people

Doesn't look as though it's gone through the paint. TBH I'd probably just T-cut out as many of the visible scuffs as possible and leave it at that for now. Enjoy the stag do and maybe get the panels straightened out when you are getting ready to sell the car.

There is a huge dent in the wheel arch that you can't really see in the picture and lots of through paint damage. Want to get it sorted quickly before it gets effected by all the salt on the road at the moment. Going to get a "bodge it" and "insurance" price off the bodyshop. Hopefully the bodge it price will only be a couple of hundred £££ and the stag do will be back on

Car is already covered in parking dings as I have to park in the local Social club car park due to an ongoing dispute between the local Police Community Officer, the Council and my landlord. If my landlord wins then the council WILL be paying for a lot of repairs!

It does indeed suck :/

We discovered another dent in Barney when we were at Fakey's the other weekend. No idea where it came from.
