Unhappy

Managed to scrape my front wing and bumper on the garage wall this morning, booked in the start of next month for my 1st year service and to repair the damage. Quoted £150 for the service any ideas about the damage ? Good point I have a STI8 for two days !!

I have fitted thick sponge to my garage wall so hopefully this thing will never happen.
Good luck with the repair.

D6ale, did it happen to be Tesco Macclesfield. Trolleys there have a habit of doing that.

Just got a few quotes for my wing. Ranges from £100 to £207. I'm going for the £207 option cause the garage has a good rep. Should be about the same price again for the bumper.

Cheers

I once reversed out of my drive on bin day and knocked a wheelie bin full of rubbish all over my neighbour's lawn. The Scooby was unscathed so I drove off under the cover of dawn and left it - he was a bit of a nobber anyway!

No actually I'm the muppet that can't reverse !! reversed straight into someone at petrol station when the car was 3 weeks old !! so invested in the sensors and got the bumper resprayed when I fitted them, I've got a dog guard in aswell so it's basically like driving a transit !!
