LIVID! How much?
« on: July 27, 2009, 11:23:29 pm »
In her haist to get out of the rain, the bird im seeing casually launched my passenger door open onto her car causing her wing mirror to dent my door just above the door handle! to say im livid would be extremely far from how i feel bout it! my car is now damaged, which as anyone who's had anything happen to theirs will attest to its negative effect on one's mental well being! 

i may well chop her as a result of this! lol

i tried taking a pic but it doesn't turn out too well. its not too big, but now iv noticed it i cant stop seeing it.

i know my description is fairly vague but does anyone know if that sort of thing is easily repairable and how much it might cost me?!

Sorry to hear that. Obviously she has to go. How could she be so inconsiderate?

Pics would help determine. Is the paint cracked at all? If its not too severe, and the dent is fairly rounded, then a smart repair technician might be able to work the dent out with his bars.

Sounds like it would be an easy job for a decent dent removal specialist  :happy2:

Oh, and I think the GF owes you some of this  :booty:

Might be worth contacting these http://www.chipsaway.co.uk/


As long as the paint isn't cracked it should be an easy fix. I have a very fine dint in my drivers door which annoys the sh*t out of me. I work at a supermarket and its a ball ache for parking.

As it long as it's not on the edge, they should be able to pull it out using the suction thingy, the freezing thingy, or, if all else fails, a nice gentle knock.


As for the girl, ditch her.

Just add insult to injury....if it's above the handle it will more than likely be a new skin and new bump strip as it's difficult so I was told to remove dents from this part of the door, not a cheap repair once the paint and labour have been added into the equation.

Hopefully as the others have stated it may pull out.
Cheers,

I know how it feels. They do not pay attention because it is not their cars. But touch their jewelry in a "bad way", and they go ballistic...  :stupid: I always tell my GF to be careful with the passenger door, not to slam it and such. I am turning into a nag, but I don't care, that's my car we are talking about here, and if something happens I'll have to repair it.

I had exactly the same dent/bump/crease on my drivers door; it was right on the edge a bit lower than the handle. I got 'Mr Dent' to come out and he worked miracles with it. It couldn't be pulled out so he manipulated with soft hammers and long soft dint-removing-thingies.
Brilliant.

One of the dent companies will be able to sort it for you.

As for the lady friend...depends how sorry she is.....and how long for...?

Good luck on both fronts bud   :happy2:

First off Strat slap yourself in the face for even considering this woman as a girlfriend part time or not.
That is serious bad judgement on your part. Honestly you need to review your selection policy.  :rolleye:

Secondly we want a recorded phone message hosted on here of you dumping her with a clear explanation of why, making it clear that she is not aloud in a Golf ever again.  :rolleye:


And thirdly.  Pesky how do you touch there jewelry in a bad way.  :signLOL:  :evilgrin:



 But touch their jewelry in a "bad way", and they go ballistic...
