Default Last week was a Bad week for my TT .

First I clip a granite curb and take a bit out of my rim. Audi sells the 5 spoke for $600, ouch and with a $500 deductible it is not worth it to claim. I guess I will be switching to winters here any day know so I can wait.
While I was checking the rim I noticed a large 1" around 1/8" deep door ding. The offender left a large piece of gold paint. Humm only two gold colored cars at work that park near me. I took out the ruler and measured the location compared to the possible offenders door and found out exactly who it was. It matched the color and height to the millimeter. Can I possibly get this fixed at some kind of paintless dent remover. Should I approach the women and ask if she did this and perhaps pay for the repair. I have no prove but I know it must be her 57.5mm from the ground matches her rub strip on her door. I really just want to take a ball peen hammer to her car and take out my aggressions.

Default I know several people who have had good luck with repaired alloy wheels. You

may not need to replace it.

Default I have not approach her yet.

She does not work at my company so I either need to leave a note which I don't want to do or wait until I can get her coming or going.
I'll try not to get angry maybe just asking if she accidentally knocked my door. If she denies it then I will tell her how I know she did it and ask for compensation.
The TT is particularly prone to dings with no ugly rub strips just wide expanse of sheet metal. Still absolutly no excuse to leave a ding like that.
