Kuro Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Well, despite it being like Cape Horn up here today, some turkey decided it would be a good idea to open their door and *not* keep hold of it So, I now have a lovely vertical line of dents down my previousy perfect drivers door. Don't you just love these people... Luckily, the paint isn't broken - scuffed slightly, but not broken. So, I think I may need the discount code for Dave Latham at Denttec..! (He did a similar job for me and the Scooby - excellent work) Unfortunately, the line of dents goes across the 'seam' in the door - not sure how this affects things... What a day... pics to follow when I get home Quote
lomoto Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 What a B*****D thing to happen, just a small thing to some people but to someone who treasures his car it's a minor disaster (and an expensive one to boot )...hopefully your dent guy can push them out OK Quote
Beavis Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Feel for you mate there nothing worse when this happens Quote
stuey Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 sorry to hear that ............. just a little tip also .............. never park next to a people carrier or an estate car ....... Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 sorry to hear that ............. just a little tip also .............. never park next to a people carrier or an estate car ....... It's not so much who you park next too as you have some control over that, it's the doughnuts who park next to you that have no care when opening their doors. I'd relegate them to public transport and then maybe they would appreciate the value of car ownership and what it means to people like us. Rant over. Quote
M13KYF Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 PM sent to you with discount code. Hope it all works out. At least you'll have the best man on the job Quote
rmmackfc Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Nothing worse...its happened to me too, luckily dentdevils fixed it for 50 notes. "Baby on board" labels , people carriers, 4x4s and old heaps help determine where I park, although it is normally a military exercise and I normally end up double parking it anyway, at the furthest away point in the car park. The things ya gotta do.... Ross Quote
Kuro Posted January 18, 2007 Author Posted January 18, 2007 the depressing pics as promised... and To be honest, even though I'm not an expert, they don't look that bad. I'm reasonaby confident they will pop out. (famous last words...) Anyway, I'm in contact with our Denttec chap, so we'll se how it goes.[/url] Quote

Stew Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 That's why I take my old Astra shopping! If I have to take the Zed I'm very picky about where I park, I also always take two spaces at supermarkets. Yes, I am THAT W4nker! Quote

ir_fuel Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I also always take two spaces at supermarkets. Yes, I am THAT W4nker! Yeah, until someone finds you a W4nker and keys your car because of that anti-social behavior ... Quote

Yeah, until someone finds you a W4nker and keys your car because of that anti-social behavior ... Maybe. One time keyed car or 20 dents from mpvs. I'll take my chances on that not happening. If it does I'll just have to hunt them down..... Quote
