Cliffs: He started a thread here about this and it got moved to OT. Now he's started another thread here because the one in OT isn't going well.

wanted to point out someone smacked my car hard and the fact its plastic saved on needing body work- theyll take off teh mirror and moulding and repaint the door- really more than a scuff - i polished it a little bit and its mainly scuff below paint in a few areas- the white was from his car. Original post a moderator must've felt was non c7 related
