My unlucky few days with subie.

Post by subby » Tue Sep 18, 2007 9:27 pm

I've had a unlucky couple of days with my subie.....

On friday my daughter opens my car door into someones new Subaru Impreza, so im up for the excess on her claim more then likely (couple of hundred at least) or the cost of repair.

On saturday i was coming home from markets when not 1 but 2 stones fly into my windscreen!!!!

Saturday i finally get my 17"chromies on..... woo hoo,

but on monday night some Bastard keys my drivers door!! SOOOOO ANGRY!!!
any tips on how to hide the scratch? untill i can even think about getting it fixed....

and...

I've given up my arguement with the copper who tore my front plate off my car (well one side). Looks like i'll be the one paying for another set!

yes my liberty... i'll have to replace the windscreen now, it already had a slight crack down the bottom of the windscreen, not too noticable, but these two chips are just above my eye sight.

If there is no paint missing just pay for a Paintless Dent Removal guy to do the job and save on your daughters excess.
