UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

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.

Thanks man
I'm off work 2moro so planning on getting a few quotes to get it done asap as it just annoys me knowin bout it lol

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.

LOL 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

It's one of those things tho Ben, just gotta laugh! Can bet your money that other ppl would laugh at us lol

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

I almost had something like this reversing out of a parking space ina. Multi storey there was a pillar on the left I had it on full lock forgot the pillar was there car just thudded to a stop. Hahah was so scared to get out and look but I'd just hit the wheel on the pillar missed the wing by about 4mm these things happen man you'll get it sorted If I see it in the car park though I know I'll just think jesus . Look at that sill

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!

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

I think we all would've

It's like you said its 1 of those situations we shouldn't laugh but we do lol

Comin out a parking space next to a kerb and me being a DOUCHE I turned really early! (no idea why as I knew the kerb was there!)

This is the outcome...

Savage mate!!

I feel your pain

I've had few quotes 2day and it's ranging between £100-200 atm. Got few more people to see but its still alot to pay for a silly mistake I made

My first silly mistake I made was £600 my silly mistake last night? I've bent my lower control arm and my track rod. Got a nice 400 mile drive to UD with them bent I shouldn't have taken the mick earlier. Serves me right

My first mistake was £400+
