Default The Papaya gets disrespect...

<center><img src="http://www.fusionthink.com/audi/images/IMG_1066.jpg"></center><p>
Hey everybody - I walked out from work last night to see this (visit link below for more photos). I'm pissed.

So... I have not heard good things about paint matching with the Papaya color.

A. Can anybody recommend somewhere to get an estimate for repairs? I'm here in Stamford, CT.
B. Any advice?

Thanks,
Matt<ul><li><a href="http://www.fusionthink.com/audi/">Hit &amp; Run in the parking lot.</a></li></ul>

Default Ouch sorry.......

The papaya is the lesser respected of the tropical fruits.....If it were perhaps, Guava, or passion fruit, or even a plantain, well, it might have turned out differently.....

I dunno what the heck hit it - my best guess is a dump truck or something BIG backed into it while I was inside working.

Bad luck...
and before this car, my 2000 black TT was keyed when it was 3 months old. Y'know... I never had issues when I had my P.O.S. Thunderbird.

I guess you just can't have anything nice these days without somebody wrecking it for you.

Default With yours at least the car was black, maybe it was dark & they couldn't see...

How can you not freakin see Papaya!?!??! Insane. People really need to pay more attention.

Good luck on the repairs!
