Get yourself a BLUE BADGE and then park on the wide Disabled spaces like what I do!

They give badges for mental disability these days? That's very forward thinking

[Devil's advocate mode]

If there are so many empty spaces at the back of the carpark - why take 2?

Seriousy, my sympathies My 206 was keyed when only 2 weeks old in my company carpark. I had parked perfectly normally and the CCTV cameras were 'down for maintenance'...

At least he only left a nasty note. Look on the bright side that you car wasn't keyed.

By writing a second note, you are really asking for trouble. Migh piss off the individual more. Also, you aren't going to solve anything by going to HR, just create more animosity if the other person finds out.

Your only best solution is to park by a security camera( if any). Or use one spot.

A door ding( if it happens) is much easier to pull out and <<<$$$ , that getting a whole new paint job IMO.

Because someone will always park next to you.

Door ding easy to pull out, what on an Aluminium car ??

why not?

It's easy to pull out dings on our S2000 hoods. I think it's also aluminium

it's harder to fix dents in aluminium than in steel

I have no idea why

but you can ask any dent magician (or a metallurgist)

I have the pefect solution! Why did I not think of this before?

Just go and buy two rusty old beaters and park them either side of your pride any joy.

Problem solved!

You people in the UK think you have problems. We wish we had the "burnt orange " as a color choice in the US. I would have been all over it it that was the case, ding or no ding. I know I've jumped off the beaten path, but that's where this post is going now



Oh, I agree aluminium is harder to work on, but most paintless dent removal speciailists can pull them out.
