    Absolutely fuming

    Pulled my car round the garage at work to clean it like I do nearly every day to discover a f*cking chip on my passenger door. by the looks of the chip it looks to me like it's been done by a van, as if the courner of the door has caught it. It looks too high up for a car door. We have our own work van and tomorrow I will be seeing if it lines up with the chip. I no there was a BT van that came in twice today as well so il look into finding out who it was if our work van doesn't match. The work car park is private so there's limited amount of cars that come in as it's a funeral service.

    It's not fair, it's my pride and joy and some thoughtless tw*t just opends their door into it.

    It's crap mate. When I first got the 5 my girlfriends neighbour reversed into the passenger door so it's had a new door. Least I knew who did that, I'm left frustrated not knowing whose done it and obviously they've known they have and just took off. Wouldn't care im taking it off the road at the end of the month

    People just don't care these days. I've given up on hoping some thoughtless plonker won't bang their door into my cars. People just think that's what the rub strips are for

    I left my Evo parked up in Camden last summer for all of an hour, came back to find someone had scraped the front bumper and driven off
    And Ford drove my old KA into a grit bin in their car park and didn't even mention it

    Re: Absolutely fuming

    I had only put my car on the road for a couple of days and wanted to take it for a drive in the nice weather, parked up in KFC afterwards and made sure I was parked in sight of the window and well over one side so shouldn't have a chance of opening the door on it, well somebody decided oh theres loads of space so pretty much parked half into my car park bay and opened the door straight on it, luckily didn't damage it though but I saw them do it and made sure its all fine before I left, no wonder you see people park between carpark spaces to stop this happening.

    Hate peoples ignorance with cars. Some people just don't give a fu*k. I always park it well out the way in car parks and there always someone parked next to you even when the car parks empty ffs. Il be investegating tomorrow.

    People can be right knobbers when it comes to things like this and its for this reason, no matter where I am, I will never park the V6 amongst cars. EVER! The extra walk is worth it. Once the 5 gets its spray it will be the same with that.

    Sorry to see it Ben

    Hi know who you feel I am still trying to sort this out.

    https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=23979

    If not I have a bill of £1650 to put it right. Some people should just do the done thing and own up. We all make mistakes etc, just admit to them.
