My latest x-mas present

Thu Dec 28, 2006 10:49 am

Went away to visit my folks for x-mas, left my car in the parking at Bristol airport...... and this was the nice present I found waiting for me

No note or anything, some people are just so kind and giving.

Ouch W*****s, you dont need that. Fair bit of it will polish out wont it?

nope, it is right down to the bare metal in most places, not that clear in the pics

these bits are properly knackered and will need filling before I can re-paint. The lip spoiler is pretty scratch-up but at least that wont rust!!

how the feck did they damage down there and not the bumper/wing?!

I have been guessing it was a luggage trolley but that is one hell of a bash to do that much damage

i bit of stonechip and a little paint and it will be ok, not that thats the point.

Yeah! just noticed your sig pic....no wonder the front looks buried with all that weight in the pass seat!!!!

it seems public car parks are just full of eejits who cant park, has anyone actually found a note on their car after it was damaged or is it just a myth that it happens.

and another thing, why is it when you pull into a space miles from anywhere in a car park full of spaces does someone insist on parking bang next door to you? i mean, whats wrong with all the others?

dude seeing this makes my blood boil, My birds motor had the same thing int he car park where she works some prat has dent here wing in and scrapped her head light cluster.

Came out of my house just before crimbo to find the rear light on the vectra smashed ad the bumper a bit scuffed!!!!! Luckily it's a company car but still a sh!tter, inconvenient at least!!!!! Now driving it illegally with no rear light!!

I assume you car was just left in a car park and not given to one of those valet parking places - looks more like something the could be done on a high kerb or something if it had been driven!!!!!!

My gf once booked us valet parking whn we went away!!! As if i was leaving the keys to my 850CSi with some young knobjockey and watching him drive off in it!!!!!!!!!! Silly woman!!!!!!!
Needless to say we got a taxi!!

yeah, it was a nice litle bit of parking by me (the only bloody straight bit of parking in the whole car park!) there are no kerbs in most of the parking, just wooden fencing for the most part.

Yeah! just noticed your sig pic....no wonder the front looks buried with all that weight in the pass seat!!!!

That was on the old m-tech suspension, no chance of it doing on the new billies/h&r's!

Cheers for the sympathy guys, could well have done without it happening hopefully I will be able to fix it soon.....

sorry to see that mate.

i have a LHR door and rear quarter to repair after some nice person did a similar thing to me dont worry your not alone. i just try to think that karma will come around and crack these peoples skulls for these things but oh well.

Wouldn't you rather crack there skulls yourself instead? ;)

Good luck with the repairs!
