I'm not sure. Some quote per dent others it's per panel. I would think about £50. I've got a number of a guy who's self employed and does a lot of work for the guys on Scottish VAG if you need it also.

Sorry to see that Kev. Hopefully they'll be able to get it out but it's right on the rolled edge so might be a little tricky. Dentmaster are very good though.

Went into Leeds yesterday morning on a shopping trip. Got back to the multi storey to find I had been parked next to by a family in an estate with kids in the back old enough to open their own doors. My heart sank as I knew they'd open the door without a care in the world and smack mine. Washed it yesterday afternoon and fortunately I think I've got away with it. Maybw they saw me arriving and told the kids to be careful.
What annoyed me though was that she sat in the passenger seat and watched me like an eagle get into my car as if I was going to smack my door into their piece of sh*t. As if!!!!
How sad is it though that I have to physically try and avoid parking next to cars with kiddy seats in the back? I don't mean to offend all you mums and dads out there but hopefully you can see where I'm coming from.

The trolly guys are the worst. Ive seen our one hit a car and walk off, i asked him if he just hit it and he said no. I checked and no damage luckily!

Dont worry though i told him he will be looking for a new job if i so much as here a trolley crash too loudly!

In a supermarket park as far away from the entrance as you can but make sure its under a light (theives at night) as no one parks far away. Underground car parks usually have cameras too

It doesn't matter how far away you park from the supermarket door. The whole car park could be empty when you park the car but guaranteed when you come back to it, there will be either a 4x4 wedged up beside it with baby seats in the back or a heap of junk up against it.  :cry: Its sods law.
