mumof4 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Had a thought just now...you know you get magnetic l plates and p plates....why cant you get magnetic panals for the side of the car when you are parked in a car park so when the pleb who is parked next to you opens his door and whacks it onto your car, it wont damage the paintwork??????

Well you could either just not park in car parks or you could let the wombats do the damage and live with it. :D I think it's a good idea - even if you don't have the magnetic panels just that stick on plastic sheet stuff they use on new displays etc - it wouldn't stop dents but it would prevent most scratches. :D You're on the right track Mum - just a bit doolally!! :D Quote

It is really annoying as you dont notice them unless the ruddy car is cleaned!!!. I shall have to think on this..do some research i think...if they were available..would you buy them?colour coded to your car?or with maybe a picture on them?Hmmm.....idea..... Quote
Bigjeeze Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Don't need to be colour coded - Just clear then the colour will show through. It just needs to be marginally thicker than cling film. :D Of course once the car park owners realise you can't scratch your cars the bastards'll make the spaces even tighter!!! :D Quote

Guest MATT jr Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 even if you did make a protective "film" - sticking it on is another challenge! -- think about creases and air bubbles! does paint need to breathe as-well? - new paint does, don't it? MJR Quote

MJR i was thinking along the lines of something that you can just whack on when you park and take off when leave!!Like L plates! :blink: Quote
Goofygolfer Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 better off parking at the back of the car park away from the couldnt care less tossers,and walk a bit further Quote
mumof4 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Posted June 8, 2006 better off parking at the back of the car park away from the couldnt care less tossers,and walk a bit further I always do..usually loads of space there!! :blink: (more room for me to get the car in the bay right!!) Hubby doesnt though..need a ruddy shoe horn when he parks!! Quote
Bigjeeze Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Sussed it!! Why not just inisist that all Ladies park at the back of the car park in their own area!!! :blink: Quote
mumble_bee Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 or you could do what this guy at work does he's bought himself 2 car parking spaces - and they cost Quote
El Dingo Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 I think there's a business opportunity here... You could sell magnetic versions with: - Company Logos. - England flags. - Ford Galaxy Forum ad. - Your own personal message, e.g. "I'm protecting my owners car from carelessly opened door damage". - Jam sandwich design, so people always pull in to let you overtake (especially if your Gal is white). :blink: Quote
