Yeah what happens when you take your car at one place to get the front tyres replaced and another place to get the Auto gearbox serviced in the same week and notice at the end of the week big scratches in both front panels going up from the jack holes.
Who do ya blame?

I feel for you dude. I got my car back from the workshop after having the kit installed and the car detailed to look mint again. The very next day, some **** had scratched one of the newly painted panels. No buff job for this one, it had to be repainted.
This happened while visiting a friend in a communal townhouse area... think twice before visiting them again though. Generally in carparks I follow the 'rules' outlined by others in this post though. I don't like to take up two spots, cos I always think some ***** will come up and damage your car out of spite. But will park closer to a pillar if I can in an underground carpark, or park on a car's passenger side, watch out for kids or sloppy parking, and park near the nice cars - or even the modified/ricer ones if they look like they've been looked after. Guaranteed if you park the car 10 miles away and alone, you'll come back and someone's parked right next to you. Dan

When you have spent $30k on a new car and then even more doing it up and keeping it clean and some inconsiderate ***** comes along whacks thier door into you, KNOWS that you seen them do it, and they walk off without even saying sorry, they deserve more than a verbal serve, doesnt matter HOW old you are. Have some god damn respect.

Looks a lot better- if you didn't have dark coloured paint you'd never notice it.
Out of interest how did they remove it?

pushed it out from the inside with a special tool through the window opening above it.but couldn't get it all out as there was a brace across the top of the dent that was restricting his access.
