    That is a good card to play, keep it close.

    My Mrs has done the usual, curbing rims, break tail light, scraped a car park garden edge and lost the bumper inserts.

    I won't post what I've done to her car ..

    This thread is gold but needs to be made general rather than MkIV Golf

    Anyway, with our MkVI Golf my other half has machined both passenger side rims and somehow picked up scrapes on the rear arch and front bumper on that side, though she says they didn't happen while she was driving!!

    Rashed my rear dial leaving a super tight exit on a carpark in act at GAD last year
    Pretty minor and offered to buy new lips etc.

    Other then that she does a damn good job driving it of when it was static .
    First time driving it on air came up to me and said 'i aired it out when I parked, that's right yeah?'... Best :p

    After buggin the mrs to drive the gti ever since I bought the thing, she finally gave in and said she'd drive it(literally 300 metres down the road). Jumped in,pulled out and pulled right into the gutter. Poor old Rs's needed a good sanding and polishing after that.

    tis not a mk4, but these were within the 1st 6 months.....

    1st - wing mirror vs garage brick wall, while reversing. thank god the only damage was the just the mirror..


    2nd - "that wall was much closer than i thought!!", despite the front parking sensors blaring red red red!!


    touchwood.....nothing since then.

    good thread!

    Well i colour coded the front and rear lower spoilers on the bora week 1 the missus half ripped off the front lip on one of those shopping carpark cement stoppers when you pull up.

    Week 3 scraped the rear bumper lip and cracked it on the same bloody thing.

    Guttered the 20' A8s after i polished the face.
    scraped the mirror on the brick wall somewhere.yep the wall moved
