Is it cars are getting bigger or is it garages are getting smaller.
You can say a price without seeing the damage.

A good tip for garages.
put your car in the garage mark with chalk where the back wheels finish then do the same with the front wheels mark the front wheel along the out edge giving a few extra inches.
Then where those marks are add a piece of wood to the floor by drilling the wood into the floor.
This well give you a runway as if you bump the piece of wood your know that your either reversing out of line or your gone back to far.
Hope you understand what i am saying.Blush

When one of the neighbours hit my car she scraped all the front bumper and onto the wing and it was around £250 to repair.
I know what you mean about garages being small I have to put my mirrors in when I go into mine it does fit with them out but only by mm.

40mm Lowering Springs, Re-sprayed Front, 6000K HID's, Re-furbed alloys, Bandit Induction Kit (cheers Chris), Raised boot spoiler with LED, Blue calipers with silver decals, De-badged rear, Chrome Oil Filler Cap (thanks to Chris again), White LED dash bulbs, Blue a/c control bulbs, Blue door markers and interior lights, Sony head unit, Chrome Lexus tax disc holder, TRD side skirts, Original Saloon Front Bumper re-fitted instead of Sportcross

Sorry to hear about that mate :crying:

That's going to need re-painting properly because it's a deep scratch, not something you can just polish out. Hope you get it sorted soon.
