Some has scraped the paint off the rear corner, either a slow speed collision or a trolley.

Not badly damaged, but deep scratches big enough to need a proper repair not just a smart fix spray over  At work

Can feel for u mate, every time I park in a supermarket car park I hold my breath when i return to my car, never mind how far away from other cars u park in a half empty car park some tw*t has to park next to u "WHY THE F**K DO THEY DO IT".

CG, worst place to take your Freel 2 you know that, if the car park was empty you can bet your life that some p will park next to your or try to get a trolley in between you. Feel for you though.


Luckily for me mine is in a hundred pieces so the loaner gets it.

Also happened at a bad time as the voting for best car is about to start so it won't help your chances of four in a row.  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

I know how you feel CG - it happen to her ladyship's Felix the other week.

Chin Up - have a few stiff drinks this evening.

Shame,
Still it could have been worst, could have been someone we liked.


















Just kidding , hope you get it fixed ok. Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well.

With what would appear to be half of Yorkshire members of this forum, sabotage has GOT to be a consideration.  MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I have noticed an undercurrent of resentment brewing for a while CG

What a b*mm*r, rear corner you say - At least (tongue in cheek) it's only on the plastic bit so a good repair will be OK for life. If it's on a door your always concerned about the standard of work'person'ship (Trying to be politically correct there) and whether it will start blistering in 6 months time.
Our local supermarket spaces are that tight, you'd struggle to get one of those GWiz cars in

I am working hard to be nice to you though God knows why.
I actually feel for you as nothing pi es me off more than the morons in the supermarket car park as either they park so close and then throw the door open and ding your sides or they let the trolleys go and they hit you. The cost of repair is always out of proportion to the actual damage.
Lucky it wa a black car really as they never look much worse tha they are. (Tried to edit that out but Pinky says it has to be left in!) Ralph

Bad luck CG and condolences, its a real pain when something like that happens. Hope you get it fixed without having to pay too much.

Have to say that I once badly scratched a white car on my fence But that was very easy to paint over with a fine brush, which resulted in an cheap invisible repair and looked

Sorry to here about the damage

is it down to the primer? I know if a good repairer, same chap who did my first one, cheap enough not to go through insurers

No one would bother to sabotage CG's Freel 2 they already know that the one vote that gets cast will CG's and be on CG's Freel 2.  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior
