The problem is that the Chantelle's and Chardonnay's of this world can't see the corners of their white Nissan Pukes and Audi Q3's whilst trying to steer their leviathans with a large handbag in the crook of their arm with a chihuahua sticking out of it whilst touching up their large felt tip pen eyebrows and storming out of the supermarket carpark in a strop because the latest in thing was out of stock !

I feel your pain as someone went down the side of my moonstone tourer denting the n/s/f door creasing the rear edge . I've tried to pull out the dent but it's cracked the paint so i'll have to replace the door !

I can thoroughly & highly recommend a chap called Jim who runs a business from home called Auto Transform.

I have had numerous work done by him and would not take my car anywhere else now. He will do all work from a standard valet, body work re-polish and scuff and damage repair.

Search facebook for Auto transform

Time to invest in a dashcam, in the hope that it will catch the blighters.

Lol. Funny how shared pain of similar experiences helps. I nudged my ZT on the passenger side doing a silly manoeuvre not paying attention in 2010. There was a scuff mark over both doors and the rear wing had a minor ding. All polished up pretty well, but in 2019 I decided to fix it properly. Local bodywork folk Reed Bros did a great job and it looked good as new. Left it with a private parking company at Exeter airport in May about a month later. Back from holidays in the dark, drove home, and then noticed (a few days too late) five minor dings in the side just re- sprayed. Clearly caused in their no doubt tight pack car parking manoeuvres while we were away. Also
