After the sum total of two weeks of my wing being fixed some er has done this to it

I reckon it's a neighbour.

Better to stay out of my way today-seriously thinking of selling the car and getting a banger, can't be arsed with the hassle

Sorry to see that Moggy.

You just can't seem to have a nice car in this country without some other bastard hitting it.

What is with people who do this? Moggy, I'll let you know what my wind respray is going to cost - should be today that I hear from them. Hopefully your little dent will pop out?

any damage to show on the wheel if something had bumped into it it might have hit the wheel spokes below it too? Strange place for a bump but looks like a dent and a scrape from something with a decent force behind it rather than someone keying it. Sorry for you, spend time caring for our cars only for some tw4t who doesn't care about theirs to come allong. If you ever confront them they don't even get it, just because theirs is an old tank and covered with dents and scrapes they expect everyone else to think the same!

I think that'll be a fender off repair job.

Ohh man, that really hurts. I know it's your car but still. After all the hassle with the last one I just can't believe your bad luck mate. I wnat to kill people who do this! My wife saw someone hit a parked car and drive on without a care in the world. She was unable to take down his number plate as she was just getting into her car but idiots like this make me go arrggghhhhh..

Thanks for replies.

Crusoe-no damage to the wheel

Roadie-wing respray + removal of dents was ~350 quid. Paint + respray should be about 200 smackers for you I would think.

I've now cleaned the car-Looks like it'll pop out, hopefully a touch up job. Still money down the drain.

Trouble is I don't have a garage-the car is on the road at night. I live in a cul de sac type road so problem is we get people doing 5 point turns
in the street. Why people can't reverse park on the street-just bloody common sense.

I'm not gonna sell the car-but I am gonna look into getting CCTV installed outside my house. Apparently you can get pretty discreet cameras that film on sensing motion
