Bad news
OK so i was coming back from clubbin last night and as i went to park my car in the garage i heard this horrible noise ....i was like SHIIIIIIT....got out, the wing is scratched down to the base with lacquer missing as well and the bumper is scratched from the foglihgt all the way to the wing...i am GUTTTED...ill get a pic when i get home from work...absolutely gutted...the garage is so tight that i have to close the mirrors before going in...but i was fine with it since july...last night this happened, spoilt my mood for good...how much you guys reckon it will be to repair?
Lexusboy Sorry to here your news iLLzLex
Is it cars are getting bigger or is it garages are getting smaller.
You can say a price without seeing the damage.
lol i just rushed it...i felt to cry when i heard that noise of the metal scraping against the metal bit surrounding the garage door...

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.
A good tip for garages.

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.

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.
