Mistakes happen mate, man up, get it fixed, soldier on.... Most bodie shops will fix that easy, sills are metal I think. So they will pop out the dent and skim and paint. Easy repair that, putting another one on would require alot of work and lining it up etc.... Pin puller will get it sorted.

I so wish I had if videoed it! I wish I could have checked out the damage as I'm sure there would have been more then just the sills. :twisted:
LOL :mrgreen: we shouldnt laugh but sometimes you just have to
Its like seeing someone fall over or bang their head, you know you shouldnt be laughing but you just cant help yourself

Yeah its either laugh or cry really, I remember when I broke my indicator on the Polo by clipping my dads Car.
I was furious with myself but still tried to blame him, got out of the car fuming and went straight on my ass after sliding on ice lol

These things happen sadly its all about getting them fixed and moving on :) yours will soon be back to normal Luke

Your quite lucky then dude :-)

And doubt you'll see it in the carpark now :-(
As mentioned in a previous post "bad things come in 3" I've now had my 3rd bad thing... No wages this week! :evil:

So therefore I have no fuel money to get up there and back!!

They reckon we'll have something by end of the day but half the day has now gone so it's not looking promising right now :-(

Yeah slipping over made me even more angry, although If I would have seen someone doing that myself I probably would have broke a rib through laughing :mrgreen:
