Re: Unwanted Attention
I feel your pain. I had some twonk back into me and damage my rear bumper. He just said, sorry mate I didn't see you. :doh:
It's not as if the X6 is small, and Man Pink isn't an easy colour to miss.
18months later some git in B&Q rammed the car with a trolley and effed off quick...... :rant: :rant:

Feel for you Peter, although it looks more accidental than on purpose if there is such a thing. If on purpose, I would have expected a longer scratch :rant:
Either way, I'm sure a good machine polish would get most if not all out, not what you want I know but thats the joy of car ownership ::)

Re: Unwanted Attention
So sorry to see that - gutting. I just don't get these people. Much of the time I think it's very jealous people who see a nice car they know they'll never be able to own themselves. Best paint colour too IMHO!
The other week I caught a delivery truck driver off loading a massive swinging steel girder over the top of my X5 (house down road being rebuilt) - when I rushed out to tell him to be careful he just responded "shouldn't have a nice car like this in London as it's bound to get bashed up". Class.
Btw if anyone knows a good mobile service that covers London I'd be interested as the car has picked up a few minor scrapes courtesy of being parked in the road.

Re: Unwanted Attention
I'm with chompers on this one............In absence of further info it doesn't look like malicious damage. If someone was intent on damaging the car I personally feel they would have done far worse. I reckon it's accidental, or as I prefer to regard it...........inexcusable careless damage.
I haven't seen the scratch or depth but hopefully it can be machine polished out maybe after touched in & flattened out............not advocating you do this yourself in absence of kit required &/or a little prior experience with such like damage.
