    It's magnetic and you put them on once you've parked and take them off before driving away.

    Absolutely no idea how good that stuff is btw, just found it after a quick Google

    As you can buy a version with the number plate printed on, I'm thinking they have a high theft rate.

    That's just gonna make the dent look worse. ;)

    I always advised the wife to park beside the most expensive cars if possible on the assumption if you paid big money for a merc etc you wont want to bounce your doors off another car,perhaps its just good luck but it seems to have worked so far.

    Yowch for the Fifty notes price tag. Mind, I have a fair bit of pipe lagging knocking about and have suddenly had an idea worthy of Blue Peter.... ;)
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Leave a blow up doll in the passenger seat. No one dents a car with someone in it, especially with an already shocked look on their face.

    Could work well, fixing it to the car with 6" nails should do the job nicely.

    Handy if you ever decide to go for a drive in the local canal too.

    Not a bad idea - must be better than an empty space , waiting for a 4x4 with 5 kids !

    :rotfl:

    That could be the way to go - but do you leave her in there when going to the drive through ?

    Of course, she's at the same mental level as the McDonalds staff.
