thats unlucky mate  :cry: same happened to me before xmas except mine moved towards me at the other side of the car before it wedged into the sill  :cry:  :shocked: made me move very quickly and after that i went out and got a trolley jack and now have axle stands to  :grin: i learnt the hard way  :lipsrsealed: tbh i dont even jack the car up with it when i'm at home i use a trolley jack although mines not as bad as yours i touched mine in with some spare paint i have for a temporary measure but having read the post i see its been mentioned about R32 skirts  :smiley: that was the thought i had at the weekend  :smiley: :smiley: as it will cover the sill damage and the money it would cost to repair my sill i can put toward pait/skirts :afro: so could work out ok hope you get sorted mate  :wink:

Gutted for ya. :sad: but its just one of them things mate, i've seen a tractor fall off when the jack gave way, that did some damage to the fitter working on it  :shocked:
You'd still need to use the w/m if you've lowered ya car. My trolly jack wont go under till its been jacked up a bit.
Best of luck on the bodywork mate. :afro:

iam goin to get the hole in the sill sorted and cover it with a r32 skirt at the mo as i dont have the cash to get it all sorted etc. ill just have to bare the upper sorta dent  for a while untill i can get some wedge together and get it all sorted and the rear quarter sprayed.   

also axel stands and a new trolly jack on way this week
