Pissed off!

exo-ak-dk · 12-14-2008, 11:38 AM

I parked my car at a gas station and was gone for 2 minutes!!

Just bought something to drink and when i went out to the car again....

A guy in his peugeot 307 was standing next to his car and were looking at the damage he made on the back of my car!!! omg i was pissed off! i was only gone for 2 minutes!! But he was a nice guy he did admit that it was him and etc....insurance will cover the damage!

But it's still annoying......!! My question is: How do you think my dealer will repair the damage!? will he change the parts or just paint and etc.

Here are some pics!:

Sorry to see and hear about this.

Could you provide a picture or two that isn't a closeup, more like ten feet away?

HAHA! That's the first thing that struck me from the pics too.

... sorry to hear for the damage. Good thing buddy was honest though. Could've been worse, he could've just f*cked off.

mike-y · 12-14-2008, 10:05 PM

they will probably try to buff it out. usually, the white marks are scrapes in the clear coat and can be buffed out. hard to tell in the pictures though.

alistairgd · 12-15-2008, 04:24 AM

I don't know for sure about in your country, but in the UK I can tell you for sure, the insurance company will only authorise a rub down, fill in and paint job for minimal damage like that.

Then in 4-5 years it will rust through.

exo-ak-dk · 12-15-2008, 06:30 AM

Went to the dealer today and they said that they willl buff it out and paint it...

Deda · 12-15-2008, 06:52 AM

sorry to hear,it is not big damage...nobody will ever notice after you fix it.

exo-ak-dk · 12-15-2008, 09:31 AM

Yea your probably right

But i wish he had hit my bumper a little more....Then i would have a reason for changing it out with the M bumper :P
Im driving a loaner now and they will have my car done by friday.

Can you make the pictures a bit bigger or increase the resolution size setting in your camera?

It's a rare sight in the US, even for winter wheels.

BTW, a polish and touch up paint should make this scrape invisible.

Prodipper · 12-15-2008, 11:52 PM

this post actually made me laugh a bit and no not because of the damage but because of the hub cabs. i'll donate my 16'' if u want them.

They wouldn't fit on your car. The 330i and 335i have larger brakes than the 325i and the 328i so 16" wheels wouldn't fit around them. Your best bet it to just get some cheap 17" rims for the winter.

addy85 · 12-16-2008, 12:41 PM

I can't tell from the pics where the damage is, anyway you can get an even closer pic

jk, damage doesn't look bad so I wouldn't be to pissed off. Love the Hubs btw
