Yah boy....he saw all RX-8, straight away u-turn and chao....quite funny....

But cops are good people....tonight one police car happened to stop nearby and they responded when I asked them for help. They patiently helped to explain the GIA form to the driver and advised him to tell the truth and not change story when he tells his boss tomolo. The officer was very pro and steady...quite impressed.

 

Yeah bro. Running away ... feel uneasy around cops ... :D

 

COPS??? did they say anything in particular? or they jus wanna have a look see?

 

they came, we conquered, they left..... end of story. :p :D

 

Ha ha ha.. and we left, drove all over the place, ended up where we started.

 

I just had a "line" dent on the side of the rear door. Must be some idiot passenger when alighting, open the door so hard and hit it. Either that fella is a FAT a$$ or he just feel great opening and knocking at my 8 door ...damm... heart pain

 

Me in a dilemma now do not know whether to tape the side of the car with those thick 0.5 inch black rubber strips or not.

This is those kind of thick Rubber strips that runs from the front to the rear of the car to prevent people from creating any dents if other open their doors in the car parks.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................

those strips can nvr go with a sports car, bro

 

Found a 10cents coin dent on my pax car door, quite norm in SIN when we park. Stay , keep away parking next to taxis, pick-ups, vans & lorries. Must be a FAT a$$

 

bro, go PDR at capitol carpark...... or go look for ah lye at AMK autopoint....

 

Not all dents can be repair.

I went to autopoint before regarding a dent on my saloon car and they told me can't be repair as the dent is just beside a beam within the door.

So only those dents with nothing behind the wall can be repair.

 

better hope some vandal doesnt hear of this.

 

Thank you bro, normally use PDR and he is good. Cheers!!

 

did u try PDR??

 

PDR also give the same ans.

They are using something like a "PUSH method"
The way they do the repair is to have a Metal rod with a semi round head insert into the door and push the wall outwards so as to repair the dents

But there's a beam across the door in almost every car.
So if your dent is just beside this beam, TOO bad they can't do anything.

Another way is "PULL method" workshop will use a suction cap and try to pull the wall of dent outwards
But this will usually required some mending (cos the surface would not be as good as new ) and respraying maybe required too.

 

yah, pull method will most likely require spray painting.....

if both renowned paintless dent removal say cannot then really must go for "pull" method liao, bro...... but the black strip really no nice leh, bro.......

 

No choice. cos if not will have alot of dents on the car.
My last saloon can I had already try my best by parking best BMW and Mes but still got the dents.
I will hav those black color strips at least it would not look to bad.

 

No use.... this cannot prevent damage from doors of pick-up, lorries, vans, SUVs etc. May as well put some money aside regularly for PDR.

 

BMW and Mes' doors are SOLID... they probably dun mind slamming their doors onto urs.

 

any doors of any makes, when they bang into ur car, nothing will happen to their doors.... but something will happen to ur car... :D :p

 

I have seen rich tai tais opening their Mercs and BMWs doors as though the car parked beside is invisible or non existent....

 

Then I had made the wrong decision. I should have park beside those 1.6L NEW, Clean and well maintain cars. cos most of the Sporean work very hard just to own a 1.6L car.

I discover that the paint job on my Rx8 is not very good.

Just last week when I open my door and slow (very slowly) allow it to rest on the wall of the car next to me.
To my surprise the my red paint was so soft that it leave some red mark on the other car. I then use my finger nail and try to press on the edge of the door, and it so soft and it paint dent inwards.

As a result I bought those type of U-Shapped black Strips and cover the whole edge of the door. It works beautifully as its black in color so not very obvious.

 

Morgan... Do you have a picture ??

 

i hate that!
i got my first dents the other day, some people are just so thoughtless, complete disregard of property of others

 

U mean the paint drop or the U-Shapped Strip along the edge of the door?

I already tape the edge up so can't show u the paint drop

Here are the pic
