What did you do to your car today?

I could have an exhaust swap job for you...

How nicely should I ask😁
Or is barter a better option.....Tanora, King Crisps & Double Decker
 
Shitty one Adrian. If it's only on the wing, you might get lucky with Olly McCarron, he may have a wing in stock. But a bad dose. Happened me years ago with a Civic. CCTV was apparently down for servicing that day. Didn't go any further myself
 
You look at the car and you think, this car has done almost 18 years (end of Aug) without a mark on the front, and it just took a few seconds for some tool who can't drive to do that to it.
I think it will pop out, Eoin/EoinF, but the break in the paint is a problem.

I won't bother going any further about it, as I'll probably get nowhere. I can imagine someone telling me that the car is old anyway.
I remember it happened to my mother's car a few years ago. This one in a Tucson scuffed her bumper off the side of it and when my brother confronted her (he was still sitting in the car at the time), she said 'sure that car has other dents and scratches on it anyway', and then just drove off. She was correct, to be fair, but her attitude was terrible. People don't care nowadays.
 
Thats a bollox adrian, Something similar happened to my legacy wagon last year, i rang the guards and they came and had a look around and with no cctv they said either get onto your insurance company or fix it youself..
 
Paintless Dent Repair could probably pop that back out but they may not take it on because technically the paint is damaged. If a PDR guy agreed to do it anyway the dent could be removed completely then just touch up the small paint damage.
 
Yeah, tis a balls. People don't care man. A note would have been nice... Phone number etc
If it can pop out, ideal. As said above, PDR would have you sorted. Or just two wings from a saloon while your at it, be an ideal opportunity to change them out 😉
 
Thanks lads. I'm fairly hopeful it would pop out with pdr, though as Andy alluded they may not want to touch it due to it looking like they did a bad repair job by cracking the paint.
Eoin, if I called up to Olly, I'd be in danger of coming home with one of those cars he has for sale every now and again! 😅
 
Out with the old and in with the new. Bootlid and genuine wing from Olly landed today. Some very minor rust patches on this one but none visible when closed. Huge difference and perrin stiffies with some carbon fibre vinyl on it. Will see what it's like for a while before removing it.
