wozza Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Went to the hospital to see my mum earlier and parked my car up in this space. Came out and there was a car that had parked so close to me meant i literally had about an inch of room left to get my car out. Can you guess what happened next? Yep thats right While trying to avoid hitting said persons car i instead hit the nice metal bollard that was right next to my car after asking my dad who was in the passenger side to tell me how close i was. He told me how close i was after it had put a scratch in my car wasnt until i hear the thing click to let me know it had gone from the door to the rear quarter and clicked into the gap. At which point my dad goes yeah you hit it there. I was a little pissed off i could have maybe done with a bit more warning about how close i was getting since i could not see the thing out of my mirrors or the side and i was trying to get it past this other car as well. Needless to say got a trip planned to the bodyshop tomorrow to ask how much it will be to sort a 30" scratch up the side of my car along witht he nice dent it put in it. Not happy! But may see if they will give me some discount on my rub strips getting done at the same time..Hell you have to try. Quote
Welshguy Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Sorry to hear that m8. Not had the best of luck with your C4 recently have you! Good to see your looking on the positive side though :D Quote
wozza Posted June 19, 2006 Author Posted June 19, 2006 Was little gutted at the time but no point staying pissed off at the end of the day its just a chunk of metal and sometimes these things happen. Was mainly the person parked next to me that was the problem and how they had parked leaving me dick all room but nothing i can do now its done just have to wait a couple weeks till i get my deposit back from my flat and patch it up and maybe get my rub strips done with some of that money.

wozza Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 Well been and got some quotes. Looking at £250 to sort the scratch and dent and he will do my rub strips at the same time for £50 last time he said would be £80 so £30 is better in my pocket than his. And think I will be getting them done now. Quote
Stuey Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 sounds like some sorta bargain to me mate...have you thought about having your B pillars done to match your spoiler?? Quote
wozza Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 Thinking about it but might get that done at a later date want to add a bit more to the stereo first some new components and some sound deadoning and also finish my boot build which i started weeks ago but was too lazy to finish. Quote
Stuey Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 after listening to Rob D's album on the way to work this morning I think I will be replacing some components and get some sound deadening...I thought the rear view mirror was going to fall off :lol: Quote
wozza Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 Dont think im gonna get my strips colour coded now for one its extra money and i really dont have much now after getting a few lovely letters today that £50 extra is needed now. And the next mod i do to the car will be the sound deadening. Quote
