Got a new window cleaner in on thursday and this what the ****** did when he tried to jump my front wall with a 8ft long pole in his hands!

I was stood next to the car when he did it, and initially i just wanted to cry! He's willing to pay for it to be repaired but will it ever be how it was!?!

It's decent of him to pay for the repair I suppose.

He's very sorry to be fair, only a kid. It's his boss that will be coughing up though apparently. He was very understanding and thanked me for not lamping the lad! Things like this are what they have liability insurance for i suppose.

A good PDR guy will be able to sort that no problem, annoying all the same.

I had a similar big ding in mine. Bodyshop repaired it a few years back and you wouldn't know it had happened. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Ouch thats a sore one, i would have been fuming, but got to feel for the wee guy he must have felt terrible ,a decent repairer will sort that out i would imagine though.

Might be worth having a dent devil guy look at that ...... I had 2 dents in the Audi fixed that I was certain couldnt be done outside of a bodyshop...... took about an hour and cost ?35 a panel

What a prat, get it sorted asap, I'm sure you wont see it when its repaired. Can do without this though.

Well she's in the body shop today having the door repaired. The lad has paid up the ?180 for the repair which requires painting. We spotted some touched up damage to the wing on the same side so this is being repaired too with no extra cost.
As a bonus too, the nice chap at JDM Autobodies is painting all my centre console trim for free while he's at it in Xpg! Result!
So all's well that ends well. Also, i've knocked down the offending wall and widened the drive way to prevent any other idiots doing the same thing again. :)
