leebottrill Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well I knew it would happen sooner or later. I've got my first dent from someone's shopping trolley. (or something) panel above the rear drivers side wheel! So pi**ed off. What's a panel respray cost these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Dentmaster about £50..don't need to spray the panel.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Seriously though sorry to hear you got the Zed damaged leebottrill. It sucks I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yep...try dent master. I've also picked up a "tesco" dink on drivers door from either a trolly or nuggets parking too close and then trying to squeeze their rug rats between car n door. Never had it on other cars so assume panels are thin on the z. Should have a sign on car roof . ..."park trollys here" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I just wish they'd make the spaces a bit bigger and mark them out using a herringbone pattern. At least we'd be in with a chance of coming out to a car without someone else's paint on our panels or scratches and dents. Good luck with your repair.

leebottrill Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well can't be sucked out. Needs a respray! 250+vat. Na! I'll live with the dent for a bit! Maybe I'll grow to like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidZ Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm paranoid about door dings from other people opening their car doors etc. I always park away from other cars where possible. But even when Zeds on my drive I worry about the postman or delivery people knocking the panels. Really annoying and careless Grrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooters, bikes, 3 wheel contraptions not to mention all other junk the insist of dragging by the car no mater which part of the drive I park in. I'm sure if I used next doors drive, they'd still migrate towards the car. Kids r like scratch magpies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren350 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have one ding on the entire car and it annoys the hell out of me. Nobody else can notice it until I point it out, haha I'd get it done but sods law dictates I'd pick up a bigger ding the following day.

gsexr Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yep i`m paronoid aswell and do all i can to park the car away from people who in general just dont seem to care. Its a sad fact of the world we live in that so many people have no respect for other peoples belongins. There`s so much lease ownership going on today and company cars that people just dont care about them and in turn cannot understand why you should get worked up about a car. So many of them just see the reg number and how old it is. Such a shame but there it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ350z Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My car obtained a tiny chip in my passenger side door at work this week and I work at a really posh Private health club in London. Sh!t happens guys and like you it makes my blood boil A member posted on here about fitting a parking camera and im currently saving up for a twin cam system that records while parked.

JetSet Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Parked mine in Tesco today (usually shop at ASDA). Down the far end of the car park there were about 60 spaces and about 10-15 cars parked up. Found a space with a 3 car gap either side. Came back within 10 minutes and there's a Merc 230 convertible parked right next to me, all the other spaces still unoccupied. Merc was so close I could only open the door about a third of the way. Why do people do this? Good job there was no visible damage, the last person to ding one of my cars learned a valuable and costly lesson. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leebottrill Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've been right in the corner of an almost empty car park and come back to someone next to me! Bloody annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren350 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I work for Tesco as a dotcom driver and I parked as far away as possible next to the click and collect hut. Luckily I do all but one shift with another chap who parks next to me and we manage to avoid dings and scratches just fine. I ride my bike in though now so my baby stays at home haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutthepasty Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have my Zed as a daily so just kind of resigned to the fact it will pick up a bit of age related wear. Supermarkets, works car park etc. Bloody annoying when it happens but it's just kind of become a fact of life now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
