Ouch! I presume you gave your neighbour a slap? :x
If the panel's not dented, you might get someone like Chipsaway or Dentdevils to sort it without it costing the earth.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Oh phah, that 's not clever. :( Looks a bit much for elbow grease and T cut, but worth a try before you start paying out money.

Slapping an 80 year old lady not an option. :D
No dent so not a biggy. If it does not buff out, i have a brilliant paint shop not far away.

There is no alternative parking around here so wanted to get in and report the gate fault . My error :headbang:

Is it possible to retro fit PDC to the wings :rofl:

Hope for you sake and your wallets, that it buffs out. Hopefully with a machine polisher it will.

Good luck and lets us know the outcome
