Default New wheels... at least, that's what this thread title WOULD have been...

Spent all morning cleaning the car with the intention of going for some lunch at the Black Bull in Midgeley then taking some nice shots up around Wooley and the YSP

Instead, after parking as far away from anyone else as possible, I come out of the pub to find this in the door...



No other cars were even in the same bloody car park (I was round the back, for anyone who knows the place)

It's too small to have been a stray golf ball from the adjoining course, and besides, the car was backed up to the wall of the motel, so a stray ball couldn't have hit anyway, and there's a few marks in the paint which suggest it's more like a stone / rock.

To say I'm a little p1553d off would be about right. I know it's not the end of the world, but this just looks like sheer bloody-minded vandalism.

Anyway... the wheels...

18" Innovit Tarmacs on Yoko Parada spec-2's. Big thanks to the Clinic for supplying them.





Need some new flaps next.

Shame to see that on such a beauty of a car. If it's not vandalism then it's sheer fcukin ignorant idiots in car parks who swing out their doors without thinking! I found three dinks in mine about 3 weeks ago. A friend of mine who is a dent master managed to get these out for a few bucks.

Provided the paintwork is not too damaged you may get away with dentmaster followed by a good buffer?

It'll pull / push out with the help of a decent dent removal guy I'm sure, and the paint will easily buff back. ScratchX would probably sort it out now in fact. She's due for the front end painting in the near future, so I could ask them to check out the front doors too (plenty of micro stonechips), just need to get a pair of corner caps sorted as the current ones have had too many hard landings to be repaired.

Then I'll probably sell her and get a proper motor.

Nice wheels! I took a git from Horbury who I barely knew to court once for smashing my car up, there was a witness who identified him in the line-up and he when he was arrested he had his mum at gunpoint.

Courts verdict: I was picking on him.

God always fights for the bad guys so the good guy gets no reward. But karma gets them in other ways!!! The lifeless chav will be smacked right up somewhere on Lupset right now.

How good does that look, needs stickering up now

If you want to have a go sorting the door, I can nip round with the Meguiars machine polisher and a selection of Menzerna polishes

Honestly mate, the marks will come out with scratchX and elbow grease. The dent will be a little more expensive methinks, but thanks for the offer.

..and remember who's driving for Miss Cilme

Parked outside Toys-r-us at Wakefield today after going to Calder Island for the Cavery and noticed I'd parked next to a dint removal van. Being reminded of this thread I Told the gf about the Subaru on here whilst walking up to the hospital (I won't pay to park). Anyway on the way back from the Hospital guess what car was pulling out of the Ridings car park! I said to the gf "There's that dent." Then realised the windows were down, sorry!! ...small world.

Wouldn't have heard you mate, on account of having a back seat full of teenage girls rattling on about what they'd just bought from town. Me ears have just finished bleeding

You should have said it a bit louder

went to old trafford on saturday night, we were sat in the car waiting for the car park to clear when aong comes the chap who was parked next to me - next thing he opened his door fully into mine. the wife couldnt open the passenger side door because his door was against it. i had to get out on the drivers side to show him the error of his ways. took a photo of his number plate just in case but as yet i havent had the chance to have a good look to if any damage was caused
