Anyway I showed it to my dad before I done the t cut. He was a bit angry but its orite now.

I T cutted it myself and ive got the yellow paint off the door, rim and wing. I'll upload them pics tomorrow. Funny thing was I went to a auto repairs shop and the guy said t-cut wouldnt get it off, another man said the same thing.

I showed my dad and he said T-cut would work fine. And it worked bang on for the door, rim, basically the metal parts.

Anyway heres the pics pre t cutting:

That's hilarious, how did you not notice what was happening?
 
One of those yellow pillars you see blocking car parks and the like? From the height of the "scrapes" it looks like that was it was. You should have stopped at the first dink and got out to take a look though :)
 
Did I not say ones mans wee scrape is another mans write off. LOLOLOL


That's more than a scrape, the door and the rear quarter is pushed in.
I'd be buying a panel beating hammer and a tub of filler not T-cut. :D
 
i have to lol myself, even with tcut how did you really think you were goin to get awat with a busted cluster and dented rear arch lol

are you sure you werent tryin to make it a 206 with the help of a pillar and a elephant?
 
I did the same thing to my first car which was given to me free. I got a wall though. I hated it that much that when i felt it hit i stopped thought about it and kept going lol. It died shortly after anyway. id tidy it up alittle.. not worry too much about it and start saving for your next car ;) lessons learnt in this one :)

Hi I scraped some kind of pillar last night with my car and apart from broken rear light theres yellow paint on some of the door and rim.

Any quick way to get some of the paint off before I show my dad?

BTW my car is light green

Having just seen the pics and after reading the above I don't think t-cutting would be wise as it might expose damage beyond just the broken rear light lense :)
 
Yup, very silly of me I was reversing and was in a rush didn't even look back properly..

Yeah so I t cutted it yesterday, the paints all off the door now except for some on the plastic strip and wheel arch. Theres now a Bolt in the bumper.

Need a new brakelight and got to get the yellow off the bumper, cant wait to get rid of this car. It's been whacked a few times tbh. I'll have to wait till the next MOT, might keep it if the scratches on other parts of the car and Front bumper are sorted..

Even in 97 the swift was getting on a bit, can't believe how long they made them for.
