Time to first damage (The Golf Accident Thread)

[Candyman]

Oh well, another one for me

Long day, drive into the garage and misjudged the far side

3 inch long indent towards bottom of bumper. No paint off

Never done this in 4 years we have lived here. In fact, never done it at any house

Not worth insurance

One day I'll get the bumper resprayed

[SilvrFoxX]

Front or rear.. ?

Sorry to hear, worst kind of damage is the kind you do yourself.. no one to yell at

[Candyman]

Front.

Fatigue.

My fault.

[SilvrFoxX]

is the paint broken

[Candyman]

Not totally sure but no, not through the paint from what I can see

Dented the paint and nit much more

[SilvrFoxX]

Leave it.. I have that door scratch which does my head it.. you can only see it if you are very close or go looking for it.. figure I will wait until something substantial comes along and get it sorted then

[Candyman]

Yes, agree

A warning to me that I need to ease up and not work such long hours.

Oh well.

No matter how good/careful/cautious you are it happens so easily. Feel your pain.

These things happen. At least it's not torn through the paint and so presumably isn't obvious?

Obvious to me

Has made me rethink the whole car anal thing

I'll just get it repainted in a few years. The underside needs a repaint anyway and it will be sure to have more paint chips by then.

Rubbish, you know once you have the bug you always have the bug.. just try to give it away

[Candyman]

I've thrown out all my detailing products except for two

Even threw out my RO.

So, didn't exactly give it away as such although I did give away most of the sampler products I had.

[SilvrFoxX]

LOL.. I know someone who did the same thing.. gave me a lot of stuff as well.. he now has 3 x RO and a wall of product..

[Candyman]

The other reason being we just got access to our next car. Will have to wait 3 yrs and it is 2nd hand (with a few scrapes)

So, current damage is not important

Hey CM, sorry to hear about your latest damage. Wife did the same thing to her front left bumper backing into the garage against the bricks. The garage bricks are the roughest I've ever seen and she has done a good job of it. Anyway I've got sick of looking at the damage and I have booked the Touch Up guys to fix it this Monday. Quoted cost is $270. I'll let you know how good the job is or isn't. Getting both sides of the car touched up as well as there is quite a few carpark chips and scrapes.
