Default Ouch
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/30324/audi2.jpg"></center><p>I never parallel park on the Chicago city streets--figures this would happen the one night that I do. Seems to be a plastic body part--not sure if I should bother replacing it now or leaving it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I dont parallel park in chicago either because of how stupid the drivers are here. they think hitting another cars' bumper is a sign to change to reverse.

I did it to myself, backing into a closed garage door. Scars add to one's character, leave it.

Default Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's done that! ;-)
I rolled back into the door, ever so gently (but not gently enough), as I was putting the roadster top up. Took my foot off the brake just long enough .....

I couldn't bear to leave the mar, though, and we have a really good touch up guy who does work like that very inexpensively so I had gotten it fixed

Default Erjun, Denny just reminded me...
Get some 3M Imperial Hand Glaze (local parts store) and rub the heck out of that spot with the 3M product... You might be very happy with the results depending on the depth of these scratches.

Regardless, having this stuff on-hand will be a good thing for other 'blemishes' down the road.
