Maybe I should let mine drive my golf, at least that way when she kerbs the wheels I'll have an excuse to upgrade them & she won't be able to argue with me about it :grin:

Could be worse - we need the whole passenger side of the Passat refinishing at some point, after she ran it down a hedge, coming through Porchfield.

I'm kidding myself that with that many 'go faster stripes' it's the fastest Passat in the West (Wight).

oh sh!t mate

Been like it for months now.

*shrugs*

It's only tin and rubber.

Doesn't make it any slower, or less economical and neither has it affected the efficacy of it as a tow car.  It still rules.  :cool:

Why is it that a lot of women curb the alloys? Is it carelessness or can they not park because it being some one elses car?
I let my wife drive my MK5 all the time, she has never curbed an alloy, and drives a lupo, so the golf is a bit bigger than what she normally uses. She does however appreciate that my motor is a daily drive show car. And knows how important it is.
If she gets too close to a curb she will dip the mirror and take extra care.

Lack of care/concentration?

I mean they don't see it the same so probably don't think to concentrate.

I've curbed wheels a couple of time on a beaten up Escort I use at work for hauling crap around.

Simply because nobody cares and I don't put the thought into parking just do it as quick as possible. Plus I'm a completely sh!te parallel parker.

Sorry to see this.  I followed all the work you put into them.  :sick:

If it makes you feel better, our lass used the car a while back and got it muddy down one side.... thinking I'd be upset the car was dirty she decided to wipe it off.... it took me a good hour or so to polish the witness marks out.

Hope you can get the wheels repaired.
