benkei Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It's no secret that I'm over the moon with my Supra. A mint example with zero rust, no scratches or dings, and after spending all last weekend detailing it to put a deep glossy shine back into the paint it looked amazing! I was planning to finish the job today and upload some photos of the finished product, but I noticed something this morning on the way to the gym which made my blood boil. Some inconsiderate person has dented my door! And it's the kind of dent you KNOW you've done! I'm 99% sure it happened at work yesterday, as the dent is high up, and there was a black 4x4 parked next to me when I left. I parked perfectly within my space and always take care not to touch anyone else's car and leave enough space for them to get in and out of their car. I doubt it happened at the gym as I went late and the car park was virtually empty, I parked away from everyone and there was no one next to me when I left. When I get to work I'm going to ask to see the CCTV and catch the person who did it, and then have strong words with them!! Why is it always the cars you care about?! No one touched the Fiesta or my Nissan as I wasn't too bothered about them, but the ONE car I spend so much time and money on get's damaged almost straight away!? To say I'm not happy about this is the world's biggest understatement!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 they need more than strong words, they need a beating . hope you find who did it, does look like it was from high up like part of a car with a high door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I hate people like that. My passenger door got keyed after only 2 weeks of ownership. The car isnt as mint as yours but it makes my blood boil too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Do what I do, park in-between 2 parking spaces 'yes makes you look like a prick, but it avoids these types of things when in tight parking spaces...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 When you find out who did it get everyone on the forum down, we can hold their funeral when we get there sorry to see a beautiful car damaged. Some people are inconsiderate @&£!£@!'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 With the dent being pretty high I'd agree it is a 4x4! Though being a small dent and no paint damage I assume you can get companies to pull it out for you. Checked CCTV to confirm if it was them and then just get them to pay for the work or go through the insurance. I hope they have it on CCTV! It is gutting to see something like this!!

SPG Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Sign of the times, I hate this sort of thing. if it makes you feel better, you have one of my favourite Sup's in the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm sure I'd recognise the car of I saw it, so if the CCTV proves fruitless then I'll just kick their door in and key offensive works into their paint! Can dents like this be pulled out? It's quite small (although to me it looks like a massive crater!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Sign of the times, I hate this sort of thing. if it makes you feel better, you have one of my favourite Sup's in the club Thanks mate, and that's what p*sses me off so much, that it was so clean and well looked after, now it's damaged because of some selfish arrogant bottom feeder!

I would take more spaces up, but the building is over crowded as it is! They've to make more parking spaces in stupid places, and even have a 'block-in' area, where you are allowed to block people in within certain business hours! It's a joke!

Delboy52 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That's heart breaking mate. It doesn't look like a door ding though, unless 4x4 doors come with studs and spikes on the edges?? This company offers prevention from door dings, but who would want to stick out like that with what look like nuclear blast doors on the sides? Would probably make the car more of a target I'd have thought to random attacks other than careless door swingers. Gits.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Get a dentmaster guy to look at it. Ibrars (Speedwells) mate Taj has a bodyshop on the same estate in Tyseley if its any use and also uses a good dent removal guy Edited September 8, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Now you mention it, it does look like a pellet hit the door. Can't imagine that would have happened at work, possibly at the gym if someone shot from out their window or something? No way of finding out though, which means I'll be out of pocket for something else now. So peeved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I chose to buy a beater for car park situations as I don't want the supra to end up looking like someone has taken a machine gun with rubber bullets to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Can sympathise with you there mate. My supra is a bit of a beater itself, but it was still annoying to come back and fine a deep 2 foot long scratch down the front wing a few days ago. It looks like it's been keyed or someone rubbing along the wing with a bag or something, but it's the sort of thing you wouldn't do without knowing about it. The car is a bit tatty but even so, it's just damn annoying that a few people have so little care of respect for others peoples property.

I hate it when things like this happen My wife knows how anal I am about parking so as soon as we about to enter a car park she is already scoping a decent parking spot. End bays are my favourite and if it has a wall I get the passenger to pop out whilst I wack it up really close to the wall. I remember my FTO which was mint! After just under a year I was cleaning the car and after a polish could not believe how many little car park dings the car had!! You couldn't see them up front, but when it was clean and you looked at an angle with the light... Oh my!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Looks like a door to me, rear doors have a corner that goes over the rear wheel arch and would be about that height and would make a dent like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
