Default Door Dings

Just wondering how many other people suffer with this affliction?

I try my hardest to not park next to people but sometimes it's unavoidable, inevitably I end up picking some up.

I try to keep on top of them by getting my PDR guy to come fix them when I notice them, but at the moment I can't really justify the money for one dent, so I'm going to save a few up and get them done at once. With the metal being so thin on this car and there being no rub strip it seems really prone to these.

I looked at the cars at MM7 I'm not the only one, but who chooses to live with them and who is as meticulous at me and can't stand the sight of them?

I hate them, but like you, I save them up for a job lot.

People are so careless, it is bloody annoying.

Had three removed last year and have since been paranoid about parking in car parks.

Never picked on up as I try and park on an end space at work then park far away when out and about.
