Chris`I Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Should have trained her better. After crunching my old Varis lip into a kerb, Amanda is now paranoid of hitting anything and stays 3ft away from any low level obstacle when driving the '70 Hope you can get it patched up. Not looking good going by others experiences though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I know the feeling. Mine scraped a suit case down my door the other week. At least she owned up to it, and at least I managed to polish nearly all of it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Gutted for you I think this is the reason my wife never wanted to drive my zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ohhh I know the feeling (except it was my fault the last time). When we had our first 370 I gave my other half a hard time for curbing the wheel a few weeks in, only to go and do it myself a few weeks later. Not sure if your car has the same colour Rays as the Black Edition? If so, good luck finding anyone to refurb them to an acceptable standard. I've just had all mine repainted due to the difficulty getting anyone who can properly match the finish on Black Ed Rays (will post some pics soon).

Didn't mean to be negative btw - hopefuly you will have better luck than me - I'm sure it's possible to get a good colour match if the refurb people know what they're doing.
