Mercury1 Turbocharged June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 I also like to park beside lorry or van. Cuz my car is small. I reverse all the way in so that even if they swing their doors all the way open, it won't hit my car. Lol.Heh I no choice cause my in laws place is next to the small carpark used by many trucks for loading unloading. Heng so far so good, only one time someone dink my front bonnet side lucky not too noticable. The area also got a lot of shop keepers and bengs know each other, outsiders seen vandalising sure tio ... Lol 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher1688 2nd Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 (edited) Actually, new car paint is really paper thin. One slight brush will also result in scratches. Edited June 13, 2016 by kingfisher1688 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava 5th Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 Actually, new car paint is really paper thin. One slight brush will also result in scratches. agreed with you that new car paint is thin. just brought my new cooper s to nshw for a short spring to east ledang, noticed that a few stone chips on the bonnet and bumper. is my mistake of not putting a layer of stone guard on the bonnet and bumper before drive it into Malaysia. is there a way to get rid of those stone chips?

Strat 6th Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 TS sorry to hear about this and I can understand how you feel. New car kenna scratch sure will heart pain especially is purposely done by another person... like what others say, live with it first and re-spray when your car is not the newest in the place where you park..

Jthl 2nd Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 TS. Sorry to hear that. But you have demonstrated that 'You own the car, and not the car own you' type of attitude. Compare to you, I only discovered a dent at my passenger side door when i did my first serving recently. (Service person spotted it) I comfort myself saying 'Ai yah this is life. must close one eye' 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vooth 2nd Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 moral of the story? buy old cars, then nobody bothers No leh, I just bought old car and also kenna scratched ...I just console myself karma will get back to those idiots ten-fold soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher1688 2nd Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 the first scratch is always the hardest to accept. I hv learn to accept the scratches as adding character to my car. One way is to wait for car to pass the 3yr mark and do a respray to clear all the marks once and for all. But by then, all these scratches no bother me anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrocarbon Turbocharged June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 Your neighbor must be shocked to see your love note thinking kanna a parking summon. Haha, didn't think of that. Well, my place not affluent neighbourhood, so, to see that car was great. Every time walk past it in the car park, can admire. Maybe bros and sis here will think like that, but not non-car loving green eyes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtb 6th Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 (edited) MSCP : Aiyah, I would encourage all to park to the top and you likely to sleep well with a good morning everyday as I have been doing it for years. Good luck if you can join crawling up the slope as it don't cost much on the petrol as most drivers think!!! Edited June 13, 2016 by Jtb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc280v6 6th Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 Do like me lor ... keep 15-year old car plate that was retained through 4 new car purchases, to-date. Each new car bought was an EOL model, so would-be vandals would think it's an 'old' car anyways ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merc280v6 6th Gear June 13, 2016 Share June 13, 2016 sometimes i sleeping in my car, then the other car park beside me, bang my door by opening the door wide. When i wake up from my nap later, i do the same favour back There was once when I waited for wife, inside my car.Then came another car driven by an ang moh lady, who parked beside me, opened her door and loud bang! So I stretched toward my passenger door and opened my door wide to bang hers (pardon the pun). Asked her what's up? She gave me a smirk look and walked away. No apology whatsoever. Then I realised ... rented car :( ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
