Got out properly for the first time in a long long time, motorway - easy, pot holes - dodged, speed bumps - no problem.

I get back home in the dark, pull onto the stupidly awkward steep point of my drive and get a big white scrape along my CF diffuser as it bottoms into the tiled floor :cry:

Devastated!
 
Got two lovely marks on the lower front spoilet on my car - my own stupid fault - the car is less than a year old . :(
Never mind no sense in worrying, nobody died it's only a car and some dented pride.
 
Yep. I knew it would happen eventually, I mean the car almost touches the floor with that splitter on anyway. But to do it on my own drive though, man that's annoying :oops:
 
Mine was on my own garage door and the parking sensors were going daft - but I knew best !
 
It will buff out.

Done it a couple times with mine and cringed like only you, or those of us that have, would understand
 
Sympathy from the Mrs, for denting your p & j, dream on. Our neighbour crashed into the Armco turning off the A38 about 400 yards from home. :( He received sympathy in the form of his no1 driver to the center of his bonnet :? :roll: :cry: Then explain that one to the insurance company. :oops:

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought. It looked much worse at night with only the garage light for ambience. I took to it with some heavy cutting compound and while the damage is still there it isn't noticeable unless really looking for it. Phew!

Front end spoiler / fang damage + wheel rash are experience badges that we all try to avoid.
Eventually we all enjoy that kick in the nads feeling.
I say - Welcome to the club.

Bumpy
 
I must say my manual skills have improved tenfold since owning this car! I think it's the first one that's mattered enough to do the whole paranoia examination after every use :oops:
