Those are some bad dents! I really feel for you.
I found a door dent on a rear panel of my car a while ago. I was fuming as I'm very careful when parking. I park at the very end of car parks away from everyone else - And yet it still happened. My boyfriend paid to have it removed for me (better then flowers and chocolates in my eyes lol) I think it cost around £30. Is an amazing job. No matter what angle you look at it, you could never tell it was there. Very impressed.

Hope you get them sorted soon.

Had a few of the above struggles with knobs who shouldn't be driving.
I now park miles away from the store and mostly across two spaces!!
 and my GF knows she can't park it just anywhere.
If I am in public car park I park across two spaces and put two tickets on window with a note telling warden I have paid for both!! My mate who has range rover started me on this. It's been safer since!!

I've noticed (without being sexist) that many drivers (often female) choose to park between two vehicles or at least, next to another vehicle. I've come to the conclusion that less competent drivers don't like parking in open spaces as the can't tell if they are correctly in a space - they like to park between cars so they can use them as a reference to position themselves - needless to say, less copetent drivers have no / little interest in cars and no little / no respect for them either. I would much rather park next to an immaculate older car than in a space on it's own as my car will be used as a parking reference.

It's airbags on the outside I want!   :grin:

Sorry to hear mate!

It's so frustrating when this happens!

In the 2 years I had my golf - it's been keyed twice, reversed into and cracked the front bumper, 1 car park ding and a scuff on the rear bumper!

I honestly felt like the unluckiest person alive and it really made me feel the same as you. I think the majority of the incidents  happened in my work car park  too  :fighting:!
 
Trying getting in touch with your local Paintless dent removal company and try and offer them cash in hand , should save a couple of quid! 

When I get a new car I'll seriously be tempted on investing in a car CCTV system to catch these bellends in the act! 

Cheers

People have become so ignorant regarding this kinda stuff nowadays  :sad1:

What ever happened to the days of leaving a contact number or note on your windscreen etc to sort it out at a later date.
Guess people just ain't as honest anymore or give a shizzle  :sad1:

I'm so annoyed for you mate! I had three on my gti and used a company from Bristol called dentmagic. They are fantastic, no filling or respraying just work the dent out. Used them on a previous car and can't fault them. You wouldn't be able to tell you had a dent by the time they've finished. They can come to your home or place of work.

Good luck! :happy2:

Guys,

A word of advice to all of you who have had your car damaged in a multi-storey and had the offender drive off...they are usually all covered by cameras and you are entitled to request access to the recordings.

I used to work in insurance fraud and had the local council on speed dial just for this. Got so many people paid out by tracing who had damaged their car. These cameras are not perfect but often better than you think and good enough to make out a reg number.

bear in mind you need to be fast as a lot of this stuff is wiped after 30 days. If you find damage to your car ina council car park, get round to the town hall asap and register it with your insurance company so they can put in a reuqest too. Better still report it to plod as criminal damage, give them the time and place, and they have to investiagte it (might not want to though!). Also remind them of the deadline.

I know what it's like - someone kneed the entire drivers side of my car leaving 10 deep dents, just out of spite. Cost me a bit to get it fixed and couldn't do anything about it.

If enough people complain to the councils, they might have to make the spaces big enough for a normal car, not a 1960's Mini!

I've suffered my fair share of mystery parking dents, too. Last night it went one step further - some lowlife spat on it
