Wellll since I have had the car, I have been crashed into twice, both times on the left side, first time all the panels were replaced, second time I needed the left rear light replaced, bumper resprayed, side knocked out and resprayed.

More recently I crashed, smashing an alloy, and bending a whole lot of parts including the rear axle after the car being fixed over 2 weeks I got it back yesterday and spent all day cleaning it with my mate and his new machine polisher, so today being a good day and sitting bored I decided to go for a drive, and have a wee dander round halfrauds to see whats new and just as I was getting back into my car, the person infront of me decided to roll on back into the front of it!!!!!!!!!!!!:x I went mad at him and took his details etc, when he was going he told me he didn want to shake my hand because I looked like I was going to hit him, got home and checked out the damage, not too bad although I can't get rid of one scratch with T-cut and the headlight is scratched round the bottom quite deep.
I don't really want to ask for a whole new headlight but im not sure what to do( any advice?), im taking it down to a bodyshop that is his mate or something, so I shall see what he says...

I think me and my car are actually cursed I think I may start carrying around a horseshoe and everything else I can to gimme a bit of luck!!!!!

Well he called it 3G I call it wet and dry paper, its basically a reallly really fine sandpaper he then jus polished it to finish it off, just ask for it in any diy place and they should have it!!
