Know how you feel, when i got my GTI it was almost spotless paint wise, now its scratched and dented :( all from other ppl :(

i have this concern every day i go to work, i always search for the bigger space. I've been trying to get in earlier to get the end of the row so at least i'm safe on 1 side  

like the door defender idea!

I'm glad it's not just me!! LOL

I always park at the far side of the car park or the biggest space wherever I go, much to the GF's displeasure!!  The one time I parked in a multi storey in a normal space I picked up a dent and cost me £50 to sort.

I agree with other comments that you should speak to your neighbour and hint about how you love your car, good luck but I hope your pride and joy stays as it should!

I am the same more paranoid than pedantic. The kids round here are a nightmare with scooters footballs bikes. NEver play by there own house of course.

Then last month I woke to find a massive dent and scuff in my drivers door can't blame any one as didn't see it, exactly a week later the girlfriends neighbour reversed into my rear qaurter and bumper. Now fighting with solicitors and insurance great.

The door alone I got quoted 700 needs a new skin to be spot on no filler.

Thats not good Neil! The marks on mine are tiny to be fair and on the door protector so shouldnt moan too much!
