Time to first damage (The Golf Accident Thread)

[langers_sydney]

Oh dear,

Not the thread I wanted to be posting in on my return to the forum Missus just accidentally reversed the 'R' into a garage pole, couple of big scrapes, one looks down to primer on back quarter near the sensor.

Last time I used a company called Chips Away, they still around? Any advice on paint matching company for rising blue?

Picture below, also got a couple of scrapes on front lower bumper / few small kerb crunches on black alloy Talladega's over the two years, so might as well get it all done at once....





Cheers
LS

ouch, I hope the missus says sorry properly

You might also try scratch magic Mobile Car Repairs | Mobile Bumper Repairs | Mobile Panel Repairs| Mobile Dent Repairs

They will tell you straight up if it can be repaired by them or no, my guess is that if after you give it a buff you can get your fingernail into the scratch then you are going to need to take it to a pro.. I would be getting quotes for the insurance about now

Had my second scrape in the life of a GTI , interesting how my dash cam into play .

Lady decided to back into me as I stopped behind her in the centre of a one way street , yes that is a camera and you did back into me .

Insurance co was no problem , got my excess covered , we both had the same insurance co .

However what I thought was just a few scrapes on the bumper centre left turned out to be a new bumper as the inside of the bumper was fractured by the metal bar behind , about $1600 and 3 days .

Funny bit was watching the replay of the car moving around the workshop , good drivers in confined spaces those fender menders .

More pain...
Got it serviced today for 30K and needs new front rubber, awesome (opens wallet)

[SilvrFoxX]

Same here, don't replace yet just move to the back then get another 5-10k

30k is pretty good, these were my fronts after 20k (tyre pressure maintained at ~38psi)

[SilvrFoxX]

Mine are not that bad, you are just a maniac is all

2 weeks in, hit a kangaroo and it was om my bonnet at about 45k. Verry lucky damage wise.

The other night it was wet and my car went sideways off the car ramps only slightly grazed under the fromt bumper though
