tip. do not park next to 3 door cars and try and park next to a car worth more than 20k  :smiley:

It doesnt matter if you avoid 3 door cars. You can park miles away from everyone and guarantee when u come back there will be a dirty great 4x4 jammed against your car with 2 baby seats in the back.
It happens every time to me!!!

I would hate to have my GTI as a daily driver and have to park it dubious places. Whenever I have to go to rough areas (or even if it's raining), I take the Transit :smiley:

I have a fear of someones children opening their car doors on to mine, you know what kids are like they aren't bothered as long as they're out of their car. :evil:

Well, you know, that's what door protecting strips are for.  I don't see why they look bad, and I'm sure they look a lot better than a row of chips in the paint.  Lots of cars have them as standard.

ha ha ha I just love this forum... a healthy amount of love, hate and paranoia... ahhhhh We just need car manufacturers to come up with bodywork that dont dent, scuff and resist chipping... We all just want a KITT!!!  Throw away our MkVI GTIs and get a 1982 black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. muawahahahhaha

perhaps a few bumps and scratches is small fry compared to what would happen if this guy came near your shiny new Mk6 :undecided:
