Unhappy

Found the first one today after 27months of ownership but im still wondering how it got there as its not on any of the body panels (the car is an MY00) its actually on the passenger side, just above the mirror (on the black stuff on the door/pillar) so im a little about what i can do about it?
Ideas anyone?

put a dent on the other side, so it looks as if its part the design..

New Style Impreza

lol, no dont really do that

is the paintwork cracked too?

did u own it from new? if not maybe the owner before had it repaired, and got some filler on it, and its a common fault cause it starts to crack after some time.

Have owned the car from new so not originally there but its not on the paintwork its on the black metal/plastic surround that goes from the front pillar to the rear pillar over the doors (just by the wing mirror) so pretty stuffed about what to do about it

Hi Tony,

I'd bend my mind trying to work out how some of my dents have appeared.
Your one sound like a low flying saucer to me
regards,
Andyo

Tony - Don't worry about one dent. Be like me and worry about the 10 others that came along to keep the first one company!!
