When you guys notice a new stone chip or a minor scratch on your car how do you react?
Do you think, FFS not another one and wish they were not there.
Or
Do you think, FFS, ah well, it's a car and will happen?
Or
Something else?

It doesnt bother me too much because im having a respray next year anyways. Can you get those brow things which protect the front off your car.

They look so bent. Pretty much every car in America has them, they even have these carbon fibre look things that cover the whole front end except the grill n headlights. Ruins the car. Bloke with a yellow Corvette Z06 had one he should be shot.
And it pisses me off big time when i get a scratch etc

Good, so it's not just me.
Sean, what about when you have a respray, what is going to stop you getting stone chips and scratches from stones then?

Theres nowt you can do except use a bumper bra or whack on some of that paint protect film in demon tweeks, might be crap though!

I think there's something called 'diamond bright' or something like that. Volkswagen use it on their cars and there are two types. Upholstery which stops spillages from being absorbed up and Paint protection which is a clear lacquer that goes over the final colour and protects the paint work
I may be wrong so don't shoot me if I am

A few scratches on a car is nothing to cry about. Yeah I admit I get a bit hot headed when I see a new one on my car but I'd never cry about it!

It really pisses me off, especially as I had a full respray done less than a year ago. It really narks me when you're parked up somewhere and you see someone walking past your car almost touching it as they go past.

Then you're not Emo enough ;)
*jokes aside*
Scratches come, but they do not go, but you learn to live with them.
I may write a song about this ;)

Very annoying when you find a so called NEW scratch. I especially hate tight carparks, and i always park where the is only one car alongside, so i can avoid at least one side getting marked. Obsessed i know i just hate little dings and marks.:angry:

You wait until you can drive.
A car is your baby. She does everything you want and barely moans so seeing a scratch or stone chip on her upsets you as you want all good things for her.
