Spend Â£7 on a bottle of thinner.

Then walk past one day and ACCIDENTLY SPILL it. just like she ACCIDENTLY scratched the HELL out of your car!

Do it on the sly.. maybe have it hidden in a drinks bottle so no one knows.

nothing you can do now, and you don't even know 100% it's that lady.

Don't think I can match the colour if I try myself cos it doesn't look factory colour. You've seen that slight bluey tint my cars paintwork has, which certainly ain't standard dragon green.

kinda random reply this, but i had a dragon green mk3 golf with the bluey tinge to the paintwork and it was completely factory, might be able to dig out some touch up sticks if you want em? i know there kinda gash but would make do until a respray.

I know for certain that focus was the culprit cos it was parked there before I parked mine there. When I went down to my car next, it had the ding and the focus was gone. The next morning the same focus was parked on the street and I had a gander at the offending corner. What do you know; it had a green scratch on it

@ Dlicence: That would be very helpful mate and also if you know the paintcode cos I ain't got a clue! Guess gash touch up pens would have to do till I get the bumper resprayed.

as much as it's obvious to you that it's the focus, it is not proof and certainly no grounds to do anything to her car unfortunately. best to move on and get your bits fixed.

very annoying, but unless you approach the lady in a calm manner and explain what you saw then it's all down to your word and hers. you could say you saw her and call her bluff?

^^ its like a hit and run case with very little to go on other then a matching colour and scratch on her car (if she doesn't try getting rid of the evidence!). Like David says, its not worth 100% proof and if was I can't do anything with it other then get cops involved. Depends on the kind of person she is really when I approach her. But yeah, i'm just getting on with it

you never know, she might be an honest person and say "sorry, I'll pay up"....

but it could end up her denying everything and making you even more annoyed!

See the car parked on me street today. if the driver ever comes to the car I wuoldn't make it 5 floors from my flat to speak to her in time; she'd probably drive off by then lol!

Anyway, i'll leave a note and see what happens.

It's a ball ache when that happens, had it done to me (most of the students where I work can't drive for s**t) which is why my front bumper looks the way it does. Could be worse, trying to move the gearbox in the garage the other day, I swung round and hit the door, took a chunk of paint work off, at least I only have myself to blame. Hope you get summat sorted bud. There's an absolute diamond Mk4 golf just started parking where I work, lowered, cleaned etc. Thought to myself "won't look like that for long with these students about". People these days, if they think they can get away with it and drive away without being caught, they will, while we are left to pick up the pieces from our damaged cars. B'stard's I say, absolute friggin B'stard's. On a lighter note, GOT MY CAR TAX'D TODAY (after being off the road for 5 months with a kkkknackered box), whoot!!!

.....nah but thats unlucky, ive had this polo a couple of months and loads of stuffs happend to it, emo/indie losers running into it and scratching it with their gay moshy belts, ridiculous

hope you get it sorted dude

before I could leave a note on it; its gone

lol

Funny how the slightest of things makes us angry. If a cars immaculate you love it, as soon as theres a small inperfection it ruins the whole car and you don't feel the same!

Well, really glad you shared this with us NOZ!

Ever since you posted this I've changed my usual parking space outside my girlfriends house, from on the side of a pretty busy through road, to round the corner on a very quiet private road. Purely for fear of something similar happening to me.

WELL, last night low and behold a vectra charges down the street and smashes into the next door neighbours car, rebounds off and hits a tree. If my car was where I used to park it, it would have been destroyed!

Gave mine a wash last night and noticed a load of new dings and dents, which mostly look like door marks. The bodywork is pretty poop anyway, but that's not the point.

It's in a shared carpark with a load of other student cars. The majority of them are either total sheds or they were bought by mummy&daddy. In either case, they don't give a toss about them and most of them are covered in dents and scratches.

I'd put it on the road but drunken students walk over them. Literally, I've seen cars with whole roofs caved in

Can't win. It's got a fair bit of rust on the back arches but I''ll have to wait until I leave uni to get it tidied up or it'll just be going back to have all the dents taken out.....

Tim, sounds like you had a lucky escape!
