Even though i park well away from other cars and take up 2 spaces when i can. I am now the proud [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] owner of a second carpark dink (on the off side rear door now!!)

where do you get those door protectors from....

they will cover the existing dints (so i would be say £80-£100 in pocket) as i would not need to have them sorted.

How much?

Steve

BTW can you get them in black/yellow diagonal stipes? as it is obvious that people can't see my car!

These come in black only, having them sprayed will probably cost you another 50-70 quid

Just for info - I read on here something about Mondeo side strips fitting the Impreza (half the price as well) but I can't remember anybody confirming it.

I feel that the subaru side strips are somewhat better than the mondeo ones (owning both cars i can confirm this )
The subaru ones are chunkier, the mondeo ones smoother but my mondeo has a few dents in its door (shows how good they are )

Only problem with the protector strips is that they do bu66er all to protect from other cars rear doors, as the point of contact is higher up. I'm the proud owner of several "high level" dings on both my back doors.

i meant with the spaces being so far apart.

a couple of weeks ago,in mc d car park,some dozy tart flung the car door open and didn't even apologise !! i was sat it the car at the time,but before i could get out to say anything,she put her head down and her dad put his foot down ! cheek of it !!

it's not only left a dink,but has cracked and chipped the paint too,why can't people just be more careful ?

If you're car gets banged (by another car) like the tosser above, is it an accident?

Failure to stop/report etc etc??

I know it might be OTT but they would n't do it twice?
