ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

For the first time in my driving life i did something soo horrible yesterday.
I don't know if ill ever be able to drive my car again



I scratched 1 of my rims

There only stock 16's off a VR but thats not the point...

argh that sucks! how bad is the damage?

I'm rather lucky I haven't scratched mine yet, but I try to keep my distance from curbs, it's just parking that sometimes worries me, especially parallel parking.

If it's a bad scratch it gives you more of a reason to go aftermarket atleast or get those rim protectors that were offered in a GB once

i know the feeling Pierre, it shocks you..... i walked around in daze for a few days when i did it to mine.

Yes It sucks when your rims get scratched. You get so angry with your self!

I always lower my passenger side mirror when parking against curbs.

It would be great if it did it automatically like some other models.

I dont scratch my rims....My mum does

I scratched one of mine when it was a week old so sad

NOT THE STOCKERS NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

im lucky i havent got any marks on mine, but one time on Holidays my dad scratched his rim and wanted to cancel the holidays

I understand Jax Quickfit do wheel repairs. In Canberra there's a guy that does a mobile service.

I need to do some repairs on my rims too, want to get them painted as well, just time and $$ though.

My wife scratched two VRX wheels within 3 weeks of getting the car. She hasn't scratched them since. I haven't fixed them as it will only happen again straight after knowing my luck....

its only a little 1, navigating the car park in mac center and the down ramps are heaps thin and 1 of them turns half way.

Was chatting with my mate and not concentrating.....

So far, so good with ours..... but I know it's only a matter of time!!

Yeah....I scratched my drivers side front at a car wash, I could have shot myself. Its so disappointing. But after a few years it will get easier I hope.........
