Door bashers...
#153
I've had my S for about a month now, and seem to be getting 1 new dent a week.
What the f**k is wrong with people? I'll go out of my way to avoid doing it to someone else, and did so even when I had a non-jealousy inducing motor.
I'm now developing a pathalogical hatred of people in people carriers or big 4x4's. I saw a woman with a kid parked next to me the other week at Tesco's (there were 'mother and child' spaces free - she obviously couldn't be arsed to look for them). As she was putting her spawn back into her Espace or whatever, she opened her door onto mine, then leaned against it as she buckled the kid in. I shouted - as you'd imagine - 'OY', and she looked at me with a dismissive air as if to say 'how DARE you'
I now park in mother and child spaces. Always. On principal. A woman challenged me on it the other day - I replied 'forgive me, you seem to be confusing me with someone that gives a f**k'. Funnily enough - I got the same look!

Fockers have got me in the past, a few years ago I had a CTR and some bar steward got me in a car park, left a massive dent in the passenger door, bloody annoyed me that did.
Now I ALWAYS park next to a new car, so that I have more of a chance that the guy who owns the new car will take car getting in/out of his car. NEVER park next to a banger because the fockers who own that won't give a damn if they dent your pride and joy.

I have something that you all should carry onboard...
They are stickers made from the most bastardly hard to remove paper, you try and peel and get about a 1mm piece off, they are A4 sized, position it so there is no way they can drive off without removing (you need a bowl of boiling soapy water, a stanley blade and about an hours time!).
On the outer face it reads - afixed penalty, on the inside, various abuse like next time leave a shoe horn you selfish fat ****!!
Ive done a few offenders....
Is it worth me trying to find out the supply of these stickers for you?

scratched the door ... and put a small dent, with some paint loss beneath it. I was ####ing seething!
####ers!!! Didn't even have the decency to leave a note.
It was literally 1 month after I bought the car off Phoenix as well, and he'd taken such good care of it. Need to get one of these dent-guys on the case, but it'll need touching-in as well, so that's the thick-end of 100 quid to sort it out. I washed it and polished it up that weekend, and it doesn't look THAT noticeable...but I know it's there.
Sad thing is most people just don't care - about their cars, let alone other people's!!!

just searched this post after receiving a text from my mate who just got his new Type R door damaged in a car park! he's so gutted
I'm moving to an apartment soon and wandering what abuse my S will receive and was looking into options of what I could do as I'm stuck to a fixed carpark space
found this is google - but do they look too silly or anyone know of something similar?

I just found another dunt from a door basher. This one was probably accidental but the first was without a doubt on purpose. I try to be philosophical about it but it really, really gets me annoyed.
