Danny 350Z Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 In a bid to fit as many garages into a small area, the builders hired by the MOD built garages that, if you want to get out of your car, you have to stick it as far over as physically possible to the left side. I took my eye off the ball for a second and.................. I scraped my frickin alloy!! They were untouched aswell. Can the scrape be repaired? I mean, look at the size of that p*ssin garage!!!

nixy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 oh i shouldn't laugh cos i know how you feel You should be able to get it refurbed for about £40 - its nothing major Quote
AK350Z Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 The usual solution is to cover that wall with carpet offcuts or foam. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 The usual solution is to cover that wall with carpet offcuts or foam. That'll decrease an already small width I think it's the way ahead though. I've already got a piece of foam so i don't prang my door. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 oh i shouldn't laugh cos i know how you feel Shame on you!! Quote
nixy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Sorry Danny, it was just the way you said it, made me chuckle. It looks fairly minor should be cheap to refurb. Quote
Gman uk Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 My solution would be to get a sledge hammer and knock through to the garage on the right of the picture - why not make it double like mine On a serious note, get yourself down to a alloy refurb place to see what they advise. only really done a dodgey touch up job on my mums old escort about 10 yrs ago, using a paint stick thingy. looked ok, but not on a lovely Z Quote
Danny 350Z Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 It's a right nause to get the Zed in there aswell but it definitly beats leaving it either bay parked for someone to dink me with their door or park on the road for someone to key it. My baby is safe (apart from my Stephen Hawkings style driving) in the garage. Quote
Ian Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Its not that bad, should be an easy fix for any competent company to refurb Quote
srobrien Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Doesn't look too bad mate, might get away with sanding down the scratch with some wet/dry. R Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Looks like an easy fix... Great looking Zed too... Quote
Chilli Red Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Whoops! Doesn't look to devastating but I am sure you were fed up. Quote
NWZ Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 It's not that bad! You wanna try hitting a kerb at 30mph and then seeing what damage can be done. If it was me, I'd buff it our with some wet & dry sandpaper and lots of polish. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for all the tips. Wet and dry it is. Weekend project. Quote
