Tell me about it. Thankfully the visibility in the wing mirrors is sufficient to make parking pretty easy.

Wouldn't it be nice if they made kerbs in car parks out of that industrial rubber, like the rubber bricks we used to retrieve from swimming pools as kids

some a**wipe will walk past your car and drag their bag against it. Nice cars are magnets for bell ends.

If you can't find a space like Daftasabrush, here's another solution to stop people parking next to your car:

I'd be worried someone will open that service door and ding your rear quarter panel...

The service door and the scary pipe are nowhere near the car. The only pipe above is the water pipe for the fire extinguisher system. I think it's pretty safe Today's space was almost perfect though, just need to add 1

Usually between 11 and 12, depends on how lazy I'm feeling really. The F30 is a good spot, most people don't seem to be able to park in it so leave it free. No one ever washes it except me and I usually do it around once a month. The Gtechniq coatings are very good at resisting dirt though.
