what an tw*t

[2007GTI]

I have a new philosophy on minor dents and scratches..

Firstly I have a 10 inch U shaped scratch on the rear quarter, 2 parking dents on one rear door and now a minor dent on the boot, where I think I motorbike fell on it.  and a scratch on the bumper.

My theory is that I can live with them, as by spending upto £500 sorting them, I am never going to get my money back.  Ironically, I am a bit of a perfectionist and would rather my car is immaculate, but its not, thats life.

If and only if, I cant sell the car because of them, I'll get them done, as no doubt there will be others by then.

One example is my girlfriend who had an accident, finally got a pay out, was getting quotes to get it fixed and then wrote the car off.  So in that instance it would of been throwing money down the drain.

I know we dont have a crystal ball, but if I was you, I would try live with it for a month before signing that cheque.

Then you could spend the cash on a fun mod or something.

I had my front bumper scratch repaired and sprayed by a company called SHINE! who sub-contract for Halfords. Did a good job too and you can't tell the difference.
