Default Someones bashed into my car ...

... and just driven off ... basically smacked into my rear bumper (painted jobbie) putting a scrape on it and where it is plastic, it 'flexed' and the paint has flaked off too ... looks horrid

Looking at the impact, my guess is it was a 4x4 Chelsea cartridge job ... or a van ...

ruddy annoying!!!

I like it ... as I don't use it much I always keep it in tip-top condition (polish it nearly every week) ... which does make it even more annoying ... someone put a slight ding in my van and I'd still be irritating, but as long as it was only superficial, I wouldn't be overly bothered (prolly wouldn't even notice on that )

Sounds like my Focus, that, all sorts of little dents and nicks all over it! If the plastic is intact I reckon one of those chipsaway sorts might be able to fix it...

Thats a bummer, was it in a place with CCTV?

I second having a car im not fussed about. my '91 hilux has more dents than a scrapyard and is hand painted! plus everything is steel, including the bumpers, so if anyone does nudge it, they come of much worse.

Silly I know but report it to Police as a non stop. As it's an offence not to stop or leave details then someone may have a guilty moment and go into their local nick (it actually happens !) and they can put the 2 together, or someone may have witnessed it and called it in.

Worth the phone call on the off chance mate !

Thats annoying - but from the sounds of it, it doesnt sound tooooooo bad? i.e. it could have been much worse damage? I know it's not the point though.

I had someone squash in a parked gap behind me and they scraped the entire left-side rear bumper. I was annoyed initially but it could've been worse so I just got over it.

Annoying to say the least

I have just bought a new (6 months old) car & found a ding in the wing, small granted but blo**y irritating!
