Car Park Misery

[JohnEclass]

Well I've had my CLK for 4 weeks today......and yes its happened, went to local retail park to pick up my wifes birthday presents....and 1 hour after parking not 1 but 2 door dings in my passenger door!!

Why can't people do something as simple as open a car door without hitting the next car??

I parked on my own in an end space to minimise any chance of this


Its strange, no actual dent, its scraped / rucked up the paint thro the top coat.....any reccomendations...i really dont want to be jhaving a whole door resprayed, anyone experience of small paint repairs?

The marks are, probably 3-4 mm long / 2mm wide + paint rucking of another 2mm. On picture its the 2 marks above and to right of my foot!
Spent last night reading threads on detailing....things like this make me think why bother..some idiot will just riun it!!!!

The pic looks like a dodgy shot of your trousers and some paving, where's the door?

Probably best to have a chat with a local bodyshop re fixing small dings.

Looks like you've peed yourself in the photo too!

Seriously though, if there is no dent why not use a touch up stick carefully (using a toothpick) and see how you get on. You can polish back any protruding bump once it has cured.

What a shame! It's why I never take anything decent to the shops. I used to keep a beaten up Mazda for trips to the shops. It's amazing how far people will park from a car that looked like that one did, whereas they don't seem to mind coming over the line when it's all nice and shiny.

I'd give it to a panelbeater and ask him to touch it up. I've personally not had any success with touch up paints, but a panelbeater would know what he was doing. Good luck with the repair.

That is a very good question. When you park far away to avoid people parking next to you, you're sitting there all by yourself and some muppet will park right next to you when there are 15 other spaces to choose from. Why do they do it? To stop their car from being lonely?

I find this as well. I've concluded it's because they are morons who want to dent my car.

Sorry to hear about your problem. It's certainly no laughing matter, as minor as it is. I'm dreading the same happening to my brand new C350 so much that this morning even though it was p***ing down I parked many rows away from the entrance to Tesco in an almost deserted part of the car park to avoid the door asbos. When I returned there was an old Fiesta right next to me and nothing else for a dozen or so spaces either side. I put it down to the insecurity of the driver not wanting to be alone.
