last week (havn't had internet for a week) someone crashed into my car whilst it was parked up at the side of the road no details left either





so, light smashed, arch paint fecked, bumper paint fecked, and rear quater all bent in and out of shape

so got it home and striped off the light to get a look at the damage




it just looked like it had been pushed in so me and my dad using a surprisingly useful scissor jack set about pushing it out, we left the bumper and arch on to line the panel up to.



Once it was roughly in the right area, we took bumper and arch off



it just needed a little persuading and everything lined up
so now im left with this, after a good polishing and some badgersport style arch painting




it's booked into the bodyshop to have all of the bodykit resprayed and the dent properly removed, im just really pissed off that I have to pay when i've done nothing wrong!

Might it be worth having a little search around for someone with similar damage and seeing if they come clean over the bump?

Bastards that do this.

Makes me laugh how there are actually people out there that do things like this. There's no reason why you should back into anything or clip anything, you have mirrors. Fucking use them. You did a cracking job at the D.I.Y repair though.

Its the fact that people see no problem in just driving off that really boils my piss. Fair enough accidents do happen sometimes and we're are only human, but to leave someones car in that state and just go off without a care is beyond me. I couldnt sleep at night if I'd done something like that

cheers for all the replys! yea looking at it we did do quite well. scissor jacks are the way forward for dent removal.

and yea ive knocked on all neighbours and checked for similar damage and nothing
