OK so i was coming back from clubbin last night and as i went to park my car in the garage i heard this horrible noise ....i was like SHIIIIIIT....got out, the wing is scratched down to the base with lacquer missing as well and the bumper is scratched from the foglihgt all the way to the wing...i am GUTTTED...ill get a pic when i get home from work...absolutely gutted...the garage is so tight that i have to close the mirrors before going in...but i was fine with it since july...last night this happened, spoilt my mood for good...how much you guys reckon it will be to repair?

Sorry to here your news iLLzLex
Is it cars are getting bigger or is it garages are getting smaller.
You can say a price without seeing the damage.

A good tip for garages.
put your car in the garage mark with chalk where the back wheels finish then do the same with the front wheels mark the front wheel along the out edge giving a few extra inches.
Then where those marks are add a piece of wood to the floor by drilling the wood into the floor.
This well give you a runway as if you bump the piece of wood your know that your either reversing out of line or your gone back to far.
Hope you understand what i am saying.

lol already have that...got to planks of wood on the floor so i knw when the wheels touch them i have to stop...i dont think i would ever damage it like that, the problem is my garage is too at the door, after i fold the mirrors its literally half an inch on either side...:closedeyes:

When one of the neighbours hit my car she scraped all the front bumper and onto the wing and it was around £250 to repair.
I know what you mean about garages being small I have to put my mirrors in when I go into mine it does fit with them out but only by mm.

Hard luck matey, hope it won't be too much to fix.

Sorry to hear about that mate :crying:
That's going to need re-painting properly because it's a deep scratch, not something you can just polish out. Hope you get it sorted soon.
