My wife's Subaru was smashed on the side by some moron who opened their door. Is there any protection to the 'very large and vulnerable' Mini doors?

 

[sirron]

Is this something that Mini owners would do?

Here's some advice...

But none of it really was effective.:crying:

It sounds like you might like the new Citroen Cactus that isn't sold in the USA:

It says "I am as scared of the world as any SUV/4x4 driver, but I'm still stylish".

I'm starting to get paranoid about parking already, and I've not even got my hands on mine. 4 weeks of anxious planning which car parking spaces to use - how sad is that!

I refer you to the sales success of the Nissan Juke - the Cactus is quite pretty by comparison.....

 

[tandberg]

For me the duke is a better looking car

Good grief. Can't stand either. Juke looks like a beached whale yuk.
Welcome to parking space paranoia.my wife and I both have this disease and in fact on our last shop the space or neighbouring cars were so vile I stayed and guarded the car while she shopped!

 

[sirron]

I recently saw a new $100,000 Mercedes parked, some jealous moron had keyed it all along one side.

 

[kyleshelton]

I think the Juke looks like a frog... good or bad, I don't know.

 

[MiniManiac]

I quite like the look of the Citroen Cactus, provided the bubble wrap is in a nice colour (not that horrid brown stuff that looks like a 1970s sofa)

For me the Fiat Multipla is the ugliest car going:

 

[jeremybingham]

Somehow.I like the ugliness of the fiat. Sangyong rexton..Now only its mother could love that.

The thought did cross my mind........

 

[sirron]

I could tie my granny to the door, but that would only protect one side. My gramp is six feet under.

I kinda like that Cactus. Some cars are so funky in their ugliness they're appealing, like old Saabs. However, that Fiat is truly the most bizarre street-legal and seriously fugly vehicle I've ever seen. I think they designed it for alien domination.

Who amongst us would dare to put a pair of those door bumpers on their beautiful baby Minis no matter how functional? Talk about ugly!
