Title: Dont u just love it......
Post by: Anonymous on April 7, 2004, 08:08
when u notice that some incompetent driver has reversed next to your pride and joy and not left enough room when turning the wheel and ever so slightly grazes your wheel arch and bumper leaving some un removeable scratches for u to ponder over.

I always park three towns away from anyone at the supermarket but somehow those folk who cant resist driving poorly managed to get me!!!! Damn them! THe first scratch on an otherwise unblemished car, I am NOT happy.  s:( :( s:(    s:( :( s:(    s:evil: :evil: s:evil:

Tell me about it!!!

Returned to my car last week to find the front corner of the bumper scratched down to the bare plastic with associated scuffs for good measure.  s:evil: :evil: s:evil:  

The incompetent infidel who did it MUST have felt his car hit mine but needless to say there was no sign of them when I returned to the car.

So here I am £100 lighter and am I bitter? Too bloody right I am  s:!: :!: s:!:    s:!: :!: s:!:    s:!: :!: s:!:

Mine is the same sentinel , some scratches and the bumper is through to the plastic.

Sentinel, what did u have done to the bumper resprayed? or blended.

I had to have the bumper resprayed as the scratches were so deep that they would have still been visible otherwise.

Fortunately I have a mate that works at a garage and so they did the work for a good price, and at least the stone chips on the bumper have been covered too.   s:) :) s:)  

Still very annoying though isn't it?
