That dreaded sound.....

[Mi16 Man]

Was sitting in my car this morning at Canberra airport and had this Astra race in beside me. Next thing you know, driver hops out and "WHACK!", his door slams into my car. Good f@cking hit.....

He blamed the windy weather.... FML!

If you had not of been sitting your car ,you would of been non the wiser how it happened ,make him pay hope you got his particulars

Damn mate that sucks

I feel for you hope his insurance covers it

Either that or put his head in the door jamb and slam a few times

[Mi16 Man]

Thanks guys! Yep, his insurance will cover it all. Just hate the fact I try to park 'defensively' all the time and watch people like a hawk due such inconsiderate sods!

know what you mean. there used to be a thread on here i think with examples of our extreme defensive parking, like other side of the whole car park!

So that 'hit' is $1800 worth. Hesus!

Given how much dismantling was involved along with not all panels painted on the drivers side, I got some "ELBOW GREASE" from SuperCheap Auto and ended up with this finish. Car stays intact now and no difference in paint thickness which I look for when buying a car.....

Pretty amazing how that scrubbed up. To clarify, you didn't go through with the insurance repair?

Thanks Daniel! A home/DIY fix. Slight use of low grit sandpaper then polish and wax.

Given the car was going to be pulled apart a fair bit to be fixed and of course painted, I'm happy to keep her as original as possible.
