This.
Well, the first time was in a parking spot that was narrow and close to the road and I misjudged. And this time was turning left at a set of lights and paying too much attention to potential oncoming traffic and not enough to the curb.
I've curbed mine a little, from taking a corner too tight, but I'm just a noob, and I'll use the excuse that I've only been driving for 2 years and that's mostly highway driving :p

Washed. Useful bits were off couple weeks ago in preparation for moving it on. Actually impressed at how good the handling is with just the springs and Enkeis on it, now that both strut braces are gone and the sway bar is stock. Also polished driver headlight with Turtle Wax kit, but no particularly spectacular results. Looks better than it did though.
Washed it for the first time in a few months so it was semi-presentable for Slow Life's "Soft Parking" meet. Discovered exactly how much brake dust had accumulated on the wheels.

Nearing the end of my need for this one with diff for the white car ordered. It's been really weird seeing it on the stock wheels, as the RPF1s went on at the same time as Dstocks facelift factory ts bumper. Certainly reinforces that a decent fitting wheel does wonders for the overall impression of shape for the FTO, especially the rear.
