    the noise your car shouldnt make... but it does...

    was reversing out of my driveway tonight (its really tricky considering we have like 8 cars and a 4 car driveway....)

    anyways i usually have to cut a fine left hand hook to get out of my driveway but this time i think i cut it a little to uhhh close.... and i kinda got a nasty scrap on my back left hand quater panel and rear bumper Click here to enlarge i really didnt think i was that close... but yea theres the proof i was, anyways i can usually reverse out of there fine but i think my grandmother had parked a little to close, prolly about $800 worth of dmg but i dunno could be up to 2000 worth Click here to enlarge lets hope not hey guys?

    will post some pics in da morning

    OOOh it's not sooooo bad... a decent smash repairer will do a wonderful job at cleaning that up - Just make sure tehy get the colour match right.

    Have a go a buffing it out :P

    Seriously, a mate did a similar thing to his Mirage. Cost him $600 to get his car repaired, and nothing for the pole it scraped against :P

    yer doesn't look to bad, you might get away with it not costing to much, but i would say $800 should cover it if you wave some cash around.

    good luck!

    Free 'go fast' stripes!!

    The only thing you should be complaining about is how you're going to match it on the right side.
