Scratches...

Well, 7 months into my G coupe ownership and today I did some damage to it myself. I have a two car garage and I park my sportbike right in front of the G(wife's car go in the other stall). For some reason I pulled up very close to the bike today with like a quarter of an inch between the G and the bike. Since it was a nice day I decided to take the bike out. After backing my wife's car out of the garage I proceed to walk my bike out from its spot. I did notice the G was extremely close to the bike but probably due to laziness I decided the bike could make it without contact with the G. WRONG. I left a couple of scratches on the grille and a nice 6 inch scratch right on the top edge of the bumper. To add insult to injury, I discovered scratches on each of the 7 spokes of my driver's side front wheel(done in one motion)! I have no idea when it happened. Could very well be from the 11,000 mile service I had on it last week, since I can't recall ever hitting something with my wheels that made me take notice.
Anyway, sorry for the long winded vent. It almost sucks more when you know you've done the damage to your car as opposed to damage done by others.
I guess I'll touch up the front scratch for now, but what about the wheel? Anything I can/should do about the scratches on it?

Re: Scratches...

I think your G should be taken away from you under the pretences of wrongful neglect, G endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a G... [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

The wheel is going to have to be professionaly done. I tried fixing mine with the walmart wheel paint can and it wasn't even close in color.
