Just realised the dent on my car 10 minutes ago after I parked my car at work and I am feeling super gutted now! Worse thing is I don't know who the fcuk did this! Was at Chadstone shopping mall yesterday afternoon. Was at a mate's house last night parked on the street and was filling up at the servo on the way to work this morning.

Looking at the dent suggests that some kunts in a SUV open and whack the door on the side of my car. So this could have happened at the shopping centre yesterday arvo but since it was on the passenger side I didn't notice it when I drove away. Plus I was too excited to pay attention to my car after picking up a new phone. But whoever that farking did this I hope you crash into pole and break your arms and legs!!

Sorry for my rant and thanks for reading. Just have to let it out.....

Wonder how much it cost to fix this up?

Sorry to hear about that, Alvin. That's why I resist taking mine to any shopping centres.

Strange thing is, one of my friend's 350Z got a dent just like yours last week. :( He also reckon it could have come from opening an SUV door because his work got a lot of SUVs.

Good luck with fixing it up. I reckon it would cost around $250-$350.

Ouch! I hate damage like this! It's big enough to annoy the sh!t out of you but too small to lose your no claim bonus over!! I feel your pain!

+ 1 for taking notes on cars I park next to. Camera phone is a handy tool for this. However, such a minor damage like this would've hardly if even made a dent or scratch on the culprits door so it will be hard to prove. I feel your pain!

Sad event. I've only had my v35 for a year now, but have 2 dents now in my immaculate body (remember i'm talking about my car now...) due to parking in car parks. I'm always careful about opening my door when next to cars - I don't know why other %{:content:}amp;#'s can't do the same. That's why every time I drive into carparks I always park "strategically" i.e. park with passenger side to a column or against a wall (so driver's side of car on left doesn't open to your car) or park next to small car on left (same reason, but giving more space). Golden rule - never, NEVER, park next to a wank%r with a big 4 wheel drive - those guys typically don't give a rats! domokun.gif

That sucks! id be pissed

I have to park in a shopping center for work however I start early enough that im able to grab a park where no other cars can park side by side of mine so what happens to you doesn't happen to me

Before that at the last place I worked I would park between 2 other staff members cars so if I got a ding I would know exactly who did it

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
