Time to first damage (The Golf Accident Thread)

... baby on board stickers.

You mean the "look out, I'm coming through, 20km/h above the limit and without indicators" sticker? Those things are nothing but a stick on excuse for downright dangerous driving.

An ex girlfriend of mine you to refer to "baby on board" stickers as "targets"... ahem

*Sweeping Generalisation Alert* In my experience, most 4WD drivers are arrogant pr*cks and bullies. Except Tuareg and Tiguan drivers of course, they are courteous and patient.

How's the quality of the repair? Happy with it I hope?

Yeah great..everything straight and fitted tightly together

Although when they took the bumper off the scratched it in 4 places....so I took it back to them and they said they would fix it when I brought it back ( they were waiting on a piece that was delivered scratched )

Well it had to happen as I now have a deep scratch right in the middle of my drivers side door. Just noticed it today while I was washing the car. It's gone past the base coat and looks like a white yellow colour underneath but the paint has flecked off around the scratch. I think some f#$ker hit the car in the car park as I was able to remove the surrounding scuffs with the clay I bought from ccp. Reading through the detailing/repairers section there's a lot of detailers but does anyone know of a good paint repairer in Sydney anywhere. I'm not sure if this can be fixed easily without re-spraying the whole door. Need a professional opinion on what can be done.....

I am not sure how long it was until the damage to this R, but the Alfa appears to have come off second best at least!

I was just actually watching that video earlier today on YT. The Alfa definitely got the raw end of the deal.

...but then again, it is an Alfa. They fall apart in a light breeze.
