Only had the IS200 Just over a week, Was parked on a carpark last night and some twat has reversed into the front bumper and cracked it, Then drove off without leaving any details.
Its only a small crack, Looks like where the front bumper reinforcing has come through the bumper, Only noticed it about 20 minutes ago when I was filling it up with screenwash (Wasn't there at the weekend when I polished it, Only gets parked in the works carpark out the way with the front facing a wall)
Looks like the money I had saved is going to go getting this sorted, Will try and get a pic tomorrow.

Typical. Every mark I've ever had on a car was when it was left unattended

Luckily, it was going in for a few bits to be touched up, mainly some stone chips in the bonnet and a scuff on the rear bumper. Going to wait until my dad goes back to work to get it done.
It's only a small crack, but its still the way people think they can damage other peoples property and just walk away!

feel for you mate, i came back to a scuff on my rear bumper on the vectra 2 days ago after parking in a supermarket car park tbh most of it will probably buff out but its peoples attitudes towards damaging another persons car

Heres the pics of it.
Know its only a small knock, But it pisses me off that someone can do damage then run away without even saying anything!

Also, Would you like it if you went out, Got yourself a newer car that you have worked hard to pay for, Then some idiot decided to damage it and run away.
Would you be dancing around singing nicey, Or be pissed off and want to rip the fuckers head off and piss down their neck?
Then having to spend the money that was saved for a weekend away on repairing the damage they caused?

If I went to such hassle to save up all the cash for it I'd park it somewhere I know it wouldn't get dinged... I understand that that's not always possible though.

Hardly OTT - I'd be fuming!
Guess that shows the difference between peoples standards of how they like to keep a car.
Makes me laugh the amount of people who describe their cars as "mint" then you see it in person and it's far from what I'd ever call mint!
Hope you manage to get it sorted soon enough mate, people who do that then leave the scene ASAP with no details are barstewards!

Only reason i parked it where I parked it because I was with my Dad, Wo has just had a knee operation. If he wasn't with me I would have parked it as far away from the door and other people as possable.
Just got to wait until he goes back to work so I can get it sorted along with a few other bits to be done. Had a job done by someone else and ended up having my dad redo it a few weeks later.

Its not always even a case of lack of morals, some people genuinely dont see a problem with knocking and damaging cars, hence parking dings at tescos

Yup, the amount of people who happily open their door into the car next to them as if that's the thing to do is unreal!

There has been a few times when Ive been dragged shopping by my missus and we have gone back to her car and people are getting in their car with the door opened on her car, so hard to stay calm when they do that.
