ah but you can get pink ones...

Where I live the parking spaces are designated so I don't have the choice to move it. It isn't a perfect situation. I wouldn't use the 'foam pipe insulation' every time I parked anywhere - that would be insane. I just thought my solution might help someone else.

ARGH - so yesterday, parked in a hospital car park while my wife was having an operation - some low life scrapes the bumper on our 3 series - really screws it up. No sign of a note, and I don't think CCTV will catch it either. ARGH It'll be a full repray job for the bumper - at least other damage from people backing into it can be sorted now.

Mason - I'm not sure how bad yours is, but as I mentioned above, a proper bodyshop may be able to fix without painting what a quick repair guy can't. I had 3 quick repair guys look at my Z4 and they all said that a fix wasn't possible without painting etc. The BMW bodyshop sorted it without resorting to that - they simply had to remove the door to get better access to the area for better leverage.

Sorry to hear about that, so many arseh&les so few bullets.

I will be taking it to a bodyshop to see what they say, the thing is the dents are quite small but fairly deep but no paint removed, it's one of those times when I'm not sure I will want to spend the money required to get rid of them. This really annoys me as if I don't get it done I know it will always bug me.
 
Hi,just been reading your posts about supermarket parking seen this on the Topgear website a while back so apologies if this has appeared on the forum before,might give some tips who to park next to and the ones to give a wide berth.

Well I managed to escape the Tesco's car park with no dents today, parked at the furthest point possible (although I also did that last week).

Had a guy come to see my dents today who was recomended by the paintless dent repair guy. He is a mobile repair guy with many years experiance at a bodyshop for Audi. He quoted £120 plus VAT which is better than I thought it might be, he is also going to repair a curb rash I inflicted on one of my 108's, total bill inc VAt should be about £200.

I'm just going to be more paranoid than ever before and unless absolutely necessary avoid car parks.
