I wouldn't care but we have an 09 plate 1.4 golf that gets parked any place convenient and not a scratch on it.
The dent guy I use is good so if it can be sorted he'll do it.Will post pics after sorted.Cheers.

NVH  - just how much has been added and where from as was thinking about doing this myself?

You can definitely feel it through the pedals slightly and it is very slightly louder in the car, but the change really is miminal. You might get slightly different results as I've got a Milltek Cat back fitted.

It's less annoying than the fake sound actuator though lol.

Ha, turned that sound actuator off as soon as I knew how to - couldn't stand that fake sound at all.

If it is not too bad then I think I will give it a try and see how it goes - not got a cat back fitted though that is a plan for the future when funds allow. Cheers  :wink:

I was going to get mine out of its cave tomorrow to give it a wash and a play but seeing all the damage that has recently happened and seeing as it is Friday the 13th... I may give it a miss  :whistle:

Oh sh!t, I forgot it was Fri 13th tomorrow.  Not normally superstitious but in the current climate???  I'm dreading the school run in the morning now.  :sad:

Booth11 - My wife says I'm very superstitious, but I don't agree - it's like all that nonsense with astrology, I just don't believe- I'm a Virgo and they're naturally very sceptical  :grin:

Oh, forgot to mention, I found a nice little ding in the drivers door today.
Interestingly that's the side that's normally parked with no vehicle next to it!  :rolleyes:
It's only small and could've been there a little while as it's generally dark when I use the car.
Grrrrrr

Maybe we should all just lock our cars away tomorrow until it's over as this is fast becoming the thread of doom!

^^^ well I sure agree with that.

What happened with your REVO wheels wigit? I've not seen a shot of your car with them on, or did you decide against them in the end?

I'm going to take you up on that.
I've just shoved the car in the garage, hopefully without damaging it again, and am now going to bed.
Someone give me a shout once it's Saturday morning when it's safe to re-emerge!
