I had a fair amount on my old p1 so had them all taken out at a car show only to look a few months later and they had been replaced by lovely new ones, bloody multistory car parks. Even tried to park out the way away from any other cars but almost without fail ce back to find some mpv kid carrier parked right next to me even when there were plenty of spaces free either side. So now in the t25 I try to avoid car parks altogether

Yup - have had the same thing, and for some reason, its always the nearside rear door that gets them !

Since using Tesco home delivery rather than going to the shop though havent had any new ones appear

Worst one was when my wifes car was being serviced, so I let her take mine to work. She works in a small primary school with only about 12 members of staff.

When she bought the car home there was a 3 inch long crease / dent in the back door, so someone had slammed their door into it pretty hard.

Despite asking the next day in school, nobody would admit to doing it, and she couldnt remember who she was parked next to in the staff car park the day before.

Really annoyed me as the person who did it must have known, and only staff use the car park, so it was one of her colleagues, and they didnt have the guts to admit it, or own up to it the next day when everyone was questioned.

Needless to say, she isnt going to be taking the car to work anymore !

Yep, annoys me too. I have quite a few dinks in the doors, and got a few quotes for pulling them all out. I then thought to myself, imagine how gutted I'll be when my dink free scoob gets a new car park bashing. I have left them for now!

I did catch some-one. I was sat in the car waiting for the wife to come out of the shopping mal when a VW Polo parked next to me and opened the door and slammed it into the side of the car. I leapt out to check the damage (a small dent and scratch) when this girl about 25 years old got out of the Polo, i pointed out what she had done and she shrugged told me to f**k off and walked away !
When my wife returned i told her what had happened, as we drove off i had a bit of red mist so i stopped walked over to her car and kicked her door in, trouble is i regretted it later and spent the next week worrying if it had been caught on cctv.

Lol.. Thats something id do... Except it might be a few doors.

Whenever i take the RB out i allways park the car on its own & use the mother & child wide spaces @ tesco,but guess what one scratch over rear wing & one door ding.No matter how much you try to keep your car out of harms way,there is allways going to be some **** who dmages it for you.
Rant over.

I live nr a social club and am forever getting people parked outside my house(inconsiderate a*seholes)
1 night walking back home(2am) after a skinful I noticed a car parked up against (touching) my car, I went spastic but couldnt do anything as it was blatently obvious it would be me, so I left a note on his car saying 'theres an issue with your car please knock at 18........' so in the morning I get a knock at the door,I open it to a bloke who seems all concerned about his car, I cant repeat exactly what I said but hes never parked nr my house again!
Luckily no damage was done, being flimsy I expected cracked paint and a dent but none
