Jo,

If the door does have a dent - or dare I say it you get another - then Cheam Motors have a guy who sorts them and he is very, very good ...... and not expensive - well, relatively speaking.

He did three separate ones on my Scooby over 12 months and you would never know the dents were there. I think it was about

Please tell me those weren't done in a carpark.

I never understand why the parent needs to bring the ****ing child to the supermarket in the first place. Leave it at home with dad/mum/gran/uncle/13 year old baby sitter/ pet dog.
This was done in a car park, and nothing left. no CCTV either.

wasn't that ikea? i remember that one.. busy as #### and noone helped you out as a witness? nice.

door dingers are all cvnts and it should carry a sentence of hanging by the neck for serious offenders.

there's definetly a jealousy thing going on with reps in their wankamobiles, usually baring the TDCi logo. i've had a number of run ins with nobs over the years, what tends to work is asking them to get out of their car to discuss

I don't think the door is actually dented (haven't had achance to look properly) but there is a white mark.

Nick - I'd forgotten completely about that, it could well have been then; they were on my passenger side If it was, thne the white mark is my primer, cos their lardmobile was a dark colour 4 women in hubby's Merc attempting to park

Am having a cleaning session on Sunday so will find out then - am hoping it just polishes out.

SB - weird, I feel the Scooby doors are quite solid in comparison to the S?

Thanks John, will have a think about it after I've had a chance to look properly this w/e.

Would be unusual to go to primer from a door ding.

I expect it will clean off with some thinners/polish.

Go over it with a claybar first Jo and then run your finger over it to see if it catches. Hopefully it will buff out, at worst you can round it off. The Mini is covered with many scuffs thanks to our lovely parking at the flat. I have smoothed out most of them to the expense of thinner clearcoat in places

One of our neighbours has some nasty scuffs on her drivers side thanks to muppet parkers, I have offered to tidy it up a little for her as a good will gesture.

Back to the Herts Meet, I parked my S right at the end on Thursday and took up two spaces especially. Still came back to find a 4x4 parked next to it and the flower bed. Fortunately I could not spot any dings, why park next to my car, FECK OFF I DONT WANT YOU NEAR ME

Don't say it's because it saves the rest of us.
When kids open doors they throw them wide open before they get out ...... I should know I have 2 of the little feckers.
