Dent

We'll I knew it couldn't last. After 6 months someone has finally put a dint in my dorr, same as the one's here:

MY question is how hard would it be to do a self repair on this and how would I go about it?

Also, I'll be replacing the speakers wihtin the next few weeks so will I be able to get behind it when the speakers are out?

Cheers in advance

IMHO on a car as new as yours I'd pay a professional rather than risk making it worse. From memory, I dont think removing the speaker will give you much in the way of access.

Have to say it really gets me how careless some people are, they really don't give a s**t do they!

When you can I aways park with a spare space either side and may be walk a little further. The worst are parents and baby / child seats. Alway park in another bay if you can if you see one of these in the back of the car. And yes mums we have a kid and yes I took him out in the car and no I did dent car doors so why do you . The only exception is when a b******D then parks over the the lines - usual 4x4.

unfortunately the car park at work gets very busy....and I get there early, plus its a patient car park so sometimes people come and go....

Well someone has put a dent in my car too, I reckon it was a 4 wheel vehicle and they have hit my car with the spare tire.

Not only is there a dent but some scratches which I am hoping are not to deep. Some people need to learn how to drive!

Happened to me too a little over a week ago. Got a dent on the front wing just up from the headlight. How? I have no idea, but it certainly wasn't me. Very annoying.

If you're in central Scotland, my Mum got a mobile unit to sort a dent out on a back wing on her Merc. He did a superb job - not a mark in sight, took about ten minutes! She agonised for months about getting it done as well in case it was made worse!

Worth getting a pro to sort it.

Thats what I used to do but no matter how much space in the car park I guarantee when I return someones parked in the bays either side

But what I really hate is when Ive parked on an empty street and people insist parking as close as they can to you so you cant slide a hair between you and the car in front and behind, even tho the rest of the road is empty

Just picked up my Cupra on Saturday morning at 11:00 by mid afternoon somebody had already slammed a door into it. Thankfully no damage.

I was at a busy retail park in Leeds and parked perfectly reasonably although with a car to the right and a tree to the left.

Went and bought a lawnmower and the Mrs wanted to get a lampshade, so I said I'd wait in the car. Low and behold the car to the right went, somebody in a battered Escort pulled in, far too close and his wife couldn't fit out of the door. Smack straight into mine. The driver then decided that he was too close and straighted up the car.

Some people...
