Someone bumped my car

[ja3h]

Just went out today - noticed my car has been scraped by someone else while parked!

Just wondering what i'll need to do? First car and first time this has happened - only had the car 2 weeks!

Take it i should go to a pressure washer to clean off the black bits of the other persons bumper?

There is a bigger gap in the panels then the other side, and a slight dent.

Probably mounting clip broken, hence the gap.

Do you live on a very narrow road with cars parked both sides?
In which case leave as is, as it'll only happen again.

Can't be bothered to repair any of the countless scrapes I have on my car. Stupid roads and stupid drivers.

yea clip will be broken or bent, take the bumper off and have a look.

other than a respray all you can really do is get some heavy cut polish and get out what you can

That'll T-cut out...

(its not as funny when its true )

 

[Toker]

t-cut is turd, get something like menzerna power gloss for some real correction

Does it only give you internet points if you apply it with a £150 electric polisher?

[Toker]

nope, power gloss can be applied by hand and produce good results with a lot of elbow grease

That happens so often to my dads car he stopped being even bothered by it, all 4 corners are scraped including both sides at the near the wheel arches.
Stupid blind idiots driving...

My gf's 200 has exactly the same battle scar.

The inconsistent panel gap is a standard Rover feature, it was built by brummies after all.

Preferably applied by virgin maidens under a full moon with the car pointing in a North-South direction to ensure correct polarisation of the magnetic domains in the polish. Failure to do this will result in swirls and holograms

Balls Im doomed to a swirled oblivion

 

[Toker]

or a heavy cut polish followed by a fine finishing polish...

I had a similar thing with my Golf but it was a juggernaut that put one of its tyres all across a back wheel arch and bumper. They never stopped so had to take it to a local bodyshop I know. £150 notes lighter and it's back as good as new. Didn't half **+] me off though.

And sudden epilepsy attacks that'll remind you were only watching a 70's disco documentry that had some insane flashing lights to take you out. :/
