Drive a battlescared 24 year old discovery and you don't notice the extra dings but more importantly others treat your car with respect leaving plenty of room.
I am mindful of others, especially with the disco, it being 3 door the doors are bigger than front doors on a5 door and have door edge buffers on all cars, just wish others were as considerate.
The discos battle scars come from overgrown lanes and a couple of dings from driver misjudgement. A mate fitted rocksliders to his defender, never got a bodywork ding in car parks though many damaged their doors on them judging by the dings and chips on them not caused in the lanes.
More annoying than the accidental or careless ding is the deliberate key damage done to the volvo, would of put it down to lanes on the disco but 2 vertical scratches on the waste line of rear door half inch long 2 inches apart are not accidental. I always reverse park and am anal about being center of the bay.
Paul.
