    Woke up this morning and headed to the car to find that some lovely person has opened their car door onto mine and left a nice 50p size scuff of red paint.  It doesnt look like it has scratched mine too badly but im wondering what the best way of getting their paint off is???  Any thoughts?

    Why cant people give more of a sh** about other peoples paint work........rant over..... Big Smile

    Happened to me in a car park a few weeks back, unlucky for the guy that did it though because his car was still next to mine with my silver paint on his door... Revenge!

    You can always try rubbing some t cut on there or some meguiars paint restorer?

    Some say that each of his toenails are exactly the same as a woman's nipples. And that he thinks the credit crunch is some kind of breakfast cereal..

    All we know is, he's called..

     That's why I ALWAYS park over 2 spaces in supermarkets, or between expensive cars. Seen too many cars damaged cos people don't give a damn about other peoples pride n joy. Simple lack of respect, simple as!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Angry

    ^^^^^ I sometimes think i have a problem when it comes to parking because i will park as far aware as i possibly can in any car park, my girlfreind thinks i'm nuts, the one time i don't do and i get caught out by some twazzok with a Vectra!

    I don't have a problem as much as you JCC-GTTDI150

    'That's why I ALWAYS park over 2 spaces in supermarkets'

    I do try the park in between expensive cars trick, if i really have to but i would much prefer to have the entire carpark to myself! YesChuckle

    don't part next to expensive cars for gods sake , they are the bloody worst as normally it is a bloody farmer  or some dumb skank with horses  who could not give a crap (well they are round here)

     

    just walk to the shops and leave your car wrapped in pillow cases at home in the heated garage Confused

     

    I saw a charity appeal the other day, it read "Little Zuki has to walk 13 miles a day just to fetch water". I couldn´t help thinking, she should move.

    parking beside expensive cars is risky also.

    i was sitting outside tescos the other day when right in front of me a woman pulled up, parked next to a white transit van and opened her door right into it. she dirty looked at the van as if to say "your too big to park here"  then rubbed at her door and walked off with a stick up her arse.  she was drivng a porsche 911

     Im starting to think that the wrapping in pillows options is a good idea.  It drives me nuts and generally i do always try to park away in a bit of space but last night I just went for a normal space in the street and this is the thanks i get...grrr!

    I will have a go at the paint restorer idea, im planning on claying, polishing and waxing in the next couple of weeks anyway so hopefully i can get the worst of it off.

    fill the boot with POLICE CONES

    then add some crime scene tape when you get to TESCO and mark your spot Chuckle

     Parking over two bays in the supermarkets round here would get you a parking ticket and as Andy said the expensive cars are often the worst ones to park next to as often the owners don't give a shoot about them as they swap them avery 6 or 12 months so who cares about a scratch or five Sad

    plus, car's come and go. you have no way of knowing what car will be parked next to yours when you return. And also no way of know which car dented the crap out of your doors when you discovered it a few days later. 

    my other signature's a porsche

     I try to park next to other golfs or audis as I guess they are more likely to be owned by people who care about their cars....perhaps I am being too naive. Confused

    You would think so wouldn't you mate, but i once went to Warner Village Leeds when i had the MK4 and parked next to a chaved up 1.6 Golf MK4, and the morning after a discovered a huge key mark from headlight to tailight down the drivers side, it was either done at the warner village Leeds or on my Girlfreinds drive [which thinking about it now i very much doubt].

    It could of been, seeing as though my motor was a higher spec and they had tried to make there motor something that it wasn't. I have since taken my little Huddersfield Town kit out of the back window because it's not un common to have your car targetted by a scummer from a rival team. Sad
