It's a sign. Go home and go back to bed!!

Sorry to hear that mate, happens though, I've had four parking dents in the last month. The last guy left red car paint on it, so my eyes are peeled for a red car near mine at uni...

Try buff the scratches out with some rubbing compound then a hefty dose of T-cut or Mer polish. How bad is the bumper though?

The bumper is a scuff about 1" by 2" down to the primer. The car is going into the bodyshop in the summer anyway, just going to wait till then, Gave it a was and a polish just now and it dont look as bad lol

can't beet mine. i ripped my votex kit off the front bumper trying the get the car on jack to fit new wheels. as i drove onto the wood, it flipped up and smashed it off, all the glue has come undone. i used hotglue as a temp fix, but gives me an excuse to get it smoothed in

i hate it when people scratch the car and leave it, jusst pretend they never did it. is alot nice to leave a not or to wait

So I take it you can still get to the jackin points witht the skirts on then pip?

Yeah Pratikt that happend to a mate of mine, backed his range rover out of a parking space and some guy came running up sayin he had just backed into him and smashed the side of his Merc in. Turned out the car was on hire and the guy had done it and was trying to find someone to blame the cctv cought the guy drivin round the car park for nearly 2 hours lol

yeah you don't need to take the clips off. just drive on to a peice of wood about 2" high and then slide the jack under. remember to put the wood back under the tire when you've finished or when the jack comes down the weight of the car will be on the side skirts.. = ouch. lol

Man thats sucks

The trick is not to loose heart. Sometimes you feel like giving up on your car when all that happens but keep at it

Hope it all gets sorted soon
