At the Ztech Clinic last Saturday , I was telling one of the guys about how some people park in London : I`d actually watched a guy squeeze an estate car into a space by pressing his rear bumper against my front one the day before : coupla little marks..very annoying . On Sunday , I parked in a fairly small space with a Modern Mini in front of me...on Monday morning , Mini had gone and a BMW 3 Series driver had managed to squeeze in the space , leaving me about 2 inches gap at the front...then I noticed that my nose panel had a nasty scrape on it , about 35 cm long and 10 cm deep . Judging by the height and shape , it wasn`t from the Beemer , someone else must have tried to get into this wee space with , I guess , a b*stard 4WD ( Chelsea Tractor they`re called in my Borough ) . Fookers had virtually climbed the front of the car without even realising , or , WORSE , not caring ! Coupla yellow bits showing through the grey bumper as well . Infuriating...on my insurance , with no protection on my NCB , I have an excess charge of £500 FFS , so that`s out . The scrape consists of loads of tiny scratches...tried T-Cut , didn`t work . Had the car six weeks to the day this happened ..unmarked `till now :headvswal , Ruins the look of the front IMO

Any advice on how to fettle would be greatly appreciated :bow:

I post this in all deference to Hellraiser Gaz , whose anger and frustration must pale mine into insignificance . :cry:

Can`t post a pic , no cam . Well , I`ve got a webcam but couldn`t get the car in the flat ( Too much furniture ) ;)

:cool:

sorry to hear that mate. you need to get a CCTV set up somewhere if possible

I had two deep scratches on my wing ending in two areas of metal, used the mer scratch removal kit and the scratches are now gone just little round marks where the metal is showing remain which i will sort this weekend using touch up and the kit again,,,,cant rate it high enough

Thanks , guys
