    well I am parking my car myself next time!

    This will be an expensive repair
    1) New front left shock absorber
    2) Need top strut cap (came out from impact)
    3) New wheel bearing
    4) CV boot (as it was rubbing)
    5) new tyre
    6) Mag wheel repair
    7) Bottom protection plate replacement (whole left side)
    New wheel alignment

    Quote is being written currently.

    Westin financial manager has agreed to pay for repairs (he hasn't received full quote yet, I did warn him it will be a 3-4k). The whole thing was captured on CCTV within the car park.

    What really pisses me off, is that they were not going to be tell me about the incident unless the car had a punctured tyre.

    Probably my car will end up not being usable for at least 2 days.

    The wheel was removed, and the shock slid down thus my car was lower on front left corner (I only noticed this yesterday). This was hammered back up, but some mounting plates were dented on the front shock.
    Shocks / bearings / CV boot replaced as they are likely damaged from the impact. CV boot was sitting against the shock and rubbing for around 150km. Has a wear mark on.

    Can't believe it... how hard was it so that the top strut cap comes off!!
    Grrrrrrr

        sounds to me like you need to push for a little more compensation that just the repairs? what about screwing for some punitive damages?

        I mean, how would the hotel feel if this story were to make it onto one of those current affiars shows?

        I'm sure your silence (and a rental car) can be bought

            Will try.... wonder if they will let me have a copy. I haven't even seen the footage, but I will go ask for it, if they refuse to pay me!!

            My poor little car.... >

            It's still running fine though...
            I am thinking maybe I should get all my wheels painted in met black with silver rim just like Golf Edition 30...
