    new dent :(

    not sure where it happened im going round a few placed to ask if they had cctv of the carparks..






    might be able to pull it out but Id prefer it to be done properly with a new wing :/ indicator is loose too.. could be expensive though (more than car is worth)..

    Doesnt that just annoy the hell out of you ? (the mrs hasnt borrowed it , has she ? )
    Nothing worse than coming back to your car and finding dents , scratches and broken wing mirrors.

    Had that happen to my first car. Left ti parked up in Tesco's car park while I was buying something, came out 20 mins later to see car trim scattered round the car park, picked it up looking to find the car it came from, went to my car only to see it was mine, I had a lovely dent all up the drivers rear side of my Mk2 Golf, sadly the dent had creased and it was on the back quater panel so there was no way to beat it out

    Gutting when it's your first car, I had to sell it because I couldn't bring myself to look at it every day.

    Hate it when this happens. Took my Fiesta Si with me to uni and it got hit 4 times while parked on the street, including one person hitting the side so hard I had to buy a new door.

    Its not tooo nosticable so Ive decided to leave it for a few weeks (busy refurbing those alloys)
    I havent looked at it properly yet... so might be possible to pull it out, but Im thinking of buying a new pattern wing from ebay for £15 and finding somone to wield it in (could be expensive, but a lot less effort than trying to push the dent out in that panel myself. cheaper than paying somone else to do it..) then paint it myself (i have an airbrush kit that been meaning to use - have a large scratch, and a bit of rust to do properly)
