    You could also try these jobbies, might be a bit of a pain in the ass to put on and off but would certainly stop damage.

    This looks great. I picked up my car on Friday and went for shopping to a westfield and parked my car in the empty space so there were no cars parked on both the sides. Now after I left some ungreatful idiot came and parked his car near mine and opened his door and dented my car. So I am surely getting one of these.

    Thanks.

    It depends where do you live and where do you shop I know that where I live there are some shopping centers where people who don't want to have a car scratched or dented don't go. Choosing the hour for shopping will also reduce the risk of the damage to your car. But anything that can protect the car from the car park damage is worth a try.

    Oh man! On the day you picked it up!! Thats rough. Some people are just jerks. I always park away from other cars for that reason, but you can't help it if the carpark fills up.
    The parents with prams parking spots are the worst. (Unless they're 10 feet wide and the other drivers butt is less than that)

    Good god man! Those 'door defenders' are UGLY! They may protect the doors with uuuuggghhhh.... ugly-ness.

    This thing about sides steps protecting the doors is dependant on what other car parks next to you of course. I have a 'large and lifted' 4WD with side steps and still get marks on the doors from other people. The Track and Field option looks the best IMO.
