Dented Passenger side wing (lost a fight with the garage).

My first ever shunt. After concentrating far too much on not scraping the Fiesta beside me whilst parking up on the driveway, I pretty much failed to account for the auto creeping the Focus forwards.

Cue a loud, thunderous bang from the garage door! The wooden frame did most of the damage here, and luckily the wing took the brunt, leaving the headlight to be unscathed.

Misalignment of the Focus with the garage!

Required two days to be fixed, with a tragic 1.3-litre Fiesta Finesse as a courtesy car.
