Sad to hear abt your damage Fab8. Some ppl juz get a thrill out of defacing nice looking cars. Like what Genesis said, we have to be prepared. Still, It sucks big time. If you need workshop to re-spray, can recommend you one which I go to. Reasonably priced I guess.

Sad to hear that. Can't really help much, can only recommend place to do touch up. price abit higher than market rate but the best in my opinion. If you really interested i can try to ask him to squeeze you in cause his schedule is full till middle of next year.

wootwoot

holy damn cow! ermmm i think some pple just have the fetish to scratch fancy looking car... coz they r physco!? y? coz they r jealous & they know that by scratching your car... it will maket he owner of the car very PISSED!

Fab 8

Fab 8,

I swear by ah lye. He is THE ****! Absolutely fabulous.. very meticulous, and sure is a nice chap to chit chat.. He is located at Ang Mo Kio auto point, level 4 i think. Ave 5, from CTE I think its on the third light.

Fab 8

I was just thinking about this yesterday - wonder what bodily harm, mutilations etc I may have inflicted on him had I caught him in the act!

Fab 8

Thanks Rockstar - this guy must be good! Quite a few fans of his here

Lowest class acts Hv to be safe...maybe some experience of mine;
vertical parking (open space or multi-storeys);
a)watchout for head-in lorries, vans, pick-ups...cos when they reverse out they unable to judge distance behind or they just "fxxk-it" when reversing, so avoid parking near those head-in...feel like HEADING them in!!!!
b) Avoid parking near those old cars (i mean really old) & my god i've to say again..lorries, vans, pick-ups...these ppl open their side doors & ouch!!!
c) Avoid parking in between cars..If there's alot of lots be alittle picky, chose pillar on your left/right, at least you can shift nearer to pillars & enjoy wider space on your left/right.
d) If really park between cars at least fold your 2 side mirrors..some axxholes are drunk everyday..walk in between cars & can knock your side mirror to the other direction! Ouch! when you try re-tract back! :D
e) Avoid lots nearest to slopes up/down in multi-storeys carparks, you know what i mean.

Parallel parking
Avoid if you can!!! front/back/side all "tio ka liao"...it's very tough to find single parallel lots :p . And till now those so-call experience drivers maybe cannot reverse by 1 try (not even myself)...maybe 2 trys...if "cha bor" old uncles drivers how?? (pai seh to all the cha bor/old uncles drivers cos i witness too many of the in/out..in/out.. :D )

Anyway gd luck!!!

Genesis

Ouch! Sry to see the damage sgren, but do tell how it happened. Weird thing about getting a new car...as much as we try to keep her from harm, she still succumbs to some amount of minimal damage early on. Usually it's the buyer trying too hard to maintain the pristine state...but the bad luck certainly seems inevitable. I've already put a nasty scratch on my right rear rim. However, that said, once the initial damage is done, as long as it's not too bad, which your's isn't, the car kinda says "ok, I'm damaged and that's over with, now lets get on with some serious driving"

Fab 8

Sorry to see the damage on both your cars, sgren and wootwoot sgren, yours look like the exhaust surround just popped out - able to push the clips back in place?

8citing

Fab8, call up angie 64536600. She's located in Sin Min. Can just ask her for quote, though she'll probably need to view the damages to confirm the price. Tell her Patrick referred u. And dun worry, I dun get any commission/s. Just an old friend of hers.

sgrenesis

its possible to clip the thing back but problem is that 2 clips are about to break cause they have been bent in. "check pic"
hopefully can put back without breaking them.
still have to worry bout the bumper cause its been bent abit. cant really tell unless you move your hand over the area.

Genesis

People's Park carpark = doom. Had a previous car dented there....never park my 8 there!

watoke

I just found the most horrendous carpark for lowered cars. Lucky Plaza Car Park.

I swear i thought i was suspended in mid-air when i crossed the freakin humps in it. All the fxxking humps were stooooopidly cemented at the apex of each slope. My goodness, i really wanna burn the construction company which did em.

KNNBPCB!

wootwoot

some car park r just badly design... anyway thanks for posting the info bout the carparks so we can avoid it!
