    I dinged (very minor) the door of a 6 series (!) recently and, despite temptation, left my details. Never heard from them - phew! My own (six week old) car was dinged today, despite being parked in an 'extra wide' space. Did they leave a note? Did they ****!

    Well, if its only a little scratch and its not actually scraped the paint all the way down to the metalwork, then possibly a little bit of T cut and elbow grease could fix it?

    Hi,
    A month ago I tipped the back bumper of a 10 year car as I pulled out of a tight parking space. The bumper was already in a bad way but I caused a 1 inch scratch on the side. There was no dents or anything. We agreed in front of a witness that this scratch was the only damage I caused. I took a few photos and agreed to pay to fix the scratch. I then made a statement to the guards that evening and instructed my insurance company not to pay anything without my consent.The person got back to me yesterday saying they brought the car to a garage and got it repaired and they want me to pay the €700 bill. The never rang me and told me it would cost this much. I had brought the photos to a garage near me and they said they'd do it for €150 which is more realistic and the damage was as minor as you can get.

    What can I do?

    Only skimmed throught the thread but gotta say, fair play for being honest

    Scraping a car in a car park can happen to any of us, just a mistake and you did what many wouldn't.

    Edit: The OP posted this thread in July!
