Damage

Fuming, why can't people respect other peoples property.  After this weeks trip to Ikea I now have a nasty parking dent in the drivers passengers door, a number of chips and a indentation.  Luckily it is above the body work lines and not along the crease which would have been a nightmare.  The person doing the damage must have known what they did as the door has been struck with force.  I have tried to touch up the paint work, but didn't do a very good job as I was probably still seething at the damage.  Does anyone have any contacts to touch up paint?

Many thanks.

 Sorry to hear about the ding at ikea sounds like you may have to get the dent done by one of the paintless dent removal companies i think the rate is approx �60 dent wizard and dentec are 2 that springs to mind, Car parks are my worst nightmare i usually end up parking farthest away from the shop and then you get the idiots that leave the trolleys right at your car why can they not return them to the trolley bays,

Ahhh but that's cos you have a nice car so the owner of the other car knows the last thing you would do is open your door and damage their car as it would also damage your car.

Can't condone parking in a Parent & Child space.  Tsk tsk, besides that is where Merc and Saab drivers park.

Besides did you not think that some parent would then whack your car with a pram/buggy or the oik of a child would then damage your car.  Again one of the last places I would park my car.

If we ever get the chance to have kids, I'll still be parking away in the far corner that way you will have plenty of space to get the buggy/pram out of the car and the sprog into it.

Welcome,

As Paul says, "what a 1st post!" Ikea is quite bad cos its busy and always mobbed but Asda at Stenhousemuir, now those are tight spaces.

We're normally in Carolines Volvo and can legitamately park in parent and toddler spaces but blooming heck, always occupied by lazy bloody teachers

Anyway, wewlcome and you have my sympathy !!

Slightly off topic, but has anybody noticed there are waaaaayyy too many disabled spaces in these new superstores, EU interfering yet again I imagine! 

Sorry to hear about the dent, and the crazy thing is, if you were to catch him and run him down, you'd be commiting the crime????

Merc drivers, Saab drivers, folk at my local Asda who have popped in for fags.  They should be legitmately be allowed to fine/remove offending vehicles from these spaces.

I always try to park in the parent toddler section, having a child seat in the back comes in handy (as does having a child  )

Once had a dimwit park right close to me while we were in the car.. gave him some umpty when he got out - told him in a not so uncertain way that his car would get damaged with the pushchair I was about to scrape down his car's side.. And the fact that our lass is expecting so she opens her door quite wide to get out.. He moved it sharpish (wouldn't care but he even parked it over the white line on our side)

Have a big Volvo estate now so folks don't tend to ge too close..

I'd get that checked out properly.  A crease in something is a sign that the metal has yielded, and therefore weakened.
