Makes me mad.....

Why is it that some people have a complete lack of respect for other peoples property?

I got to the car after work last night and, on opening the boot, noticed that the rear bumper appeared to be slightly on the wonk. It was a bit dark to see properly so have had a look this morning and it is clear that someone has hit the rear bumper. There are scratches across one side and the paint has cracked in one place, nothing major but enough to be noticable. It has also fully popped the bumper of the clips at the sides so the sag seems even worse and it isn't fitting properly around the taillights.

Really can't understand the mentality of someone who can hit another car and not even have the decency to leave a message to say sorry.

Anyhoo, now that's off my chest, is there anyone in the Surrey area that could help me sort the bumper clips out? I've read through the guides but not sure I have the tools needed to modify the s clips and, as always, 2 heads are better than one.

Thats so annoying when that happens. Happened 3 times to my old Rover, when I parked it at work. Thats why I dont take the Zed to work............Whats wrong with even a note to say "sorry"?

I know how you feel. The wifes MGF was found with a cracked front bumper and both indicators broken. Someone had driven into it whilst parked in the local ASDA and drove off. No respect whatsoever.

I don't think I'm old enough to say "that's today's society".....

I had someone open a car door on my 180 in a petrol station, I saw him do it and waited for a sorry, instead I received the standard "errr you got a problem mate" from a dull minded chav!

I once had an older chap reverse into the door of my escort then get out and blame me for parking in his way think its safe to say respect in society is a rareity

Some moron broke my aerial for the second time, also tried to nick my grill! How's that for respect?

So annoying, thats why I always get moaned at by the wife when we use a car park.

Always try and find the widest parking space in the least used area, which means a hike to the shops.

Doesnt always work, have come back with a 4 x 4, or people carrier parked so close you have to squeeze in when you open the door!!!!

That really winds me up... When some gimp can't park properly and decides to leave a gnats **** gap between his passenger side and my drivers side. Really makes me wanna slash their tyres....

I'd had my 180 about 6 weeks from new and some moron in a galaxy with far to many kids decided to whack the a back door and put a line dent in it!! When I challenged him he said you'll av to sue me mate cos i'm skint, anyway if you can afford a new car you can afford to get it fixed!! If it wasn't in a such busy carpark I'd have decked him but figured it better to take the legal route which I did. I ended up with £15 compensation and £60 costs

I should have delt my own justice as I would have felt better

I now only use my 180 for special occasions and my Pajero for daily driving. If someone wants to trash there own car running into that they are more than welcome!! lol
