Look What some ....... did!

[Steve Burnett]

Great eh, had the car 2 weeks and then find someone has done this!
Any ideas if this is the sort of thing a valet company, or chipsaway type place could deal with? The scrapes are not that deep but its not great.
As you can imagine im well f**ked off!

Thas nasty, my car (not an rx7) is always getting nailed in car parks, people seem just not to care.

Sorry cant help you with a bodyshop but I know of one guy in inverness that is very good, if thats too far?

Unlucky mate, know what it feels like, I lost a side skirt after 2 weeks as you probably well know... pain in the ass ain't it :(

Good luck in getting it fixed!

I feel rather lucky right now. I just got home from the Bracknell meet, and as I needed to unload my car was going to leave it outside. There was no spaces so I had to use my garage.

20 mins later a neighbour knocked on the door to tell us (me and my bro) that all the cars at the end of the street had had paint thrown over them.

Now I am glad I used the garage even if it was more difficult. I dont think ill leave it out again.

Know the feeling - I've just had someone carve their initials on top of the rear wing, above the filler cap. It's an area of about 600mm square, too deep for 'chips away' the best price I've had for the repair is.............£475.00.

I've managed to cover it up by running a vinyl stripe from back to front tapering down to nothing. Not the best solution but for now it'll have to do.

Ugh.. you guys are scaring me. I really hate that total mindless f£$*ing vandalism. Jealous :censored::censored::censored::censored:s.

I have to park mine on a main road and it sometimes gives me sleepless nights, especially at the weekend as it's on the way from all the bars/pubs to the student accomodation!

I'm about to spend big on exterior upgrades and the last thing I want is some idiot ripping off part of the bodykit. Especially as the parts are basically irreplacable.

There is no chance of finding a garage near my house - I'll have to look further afield and drive to it in my Mini!

Sorry to see that Steve :( it looks like someone has stood on your bumper and twisted their foot when getting back down :confused:

It doesn't look too bad though, I would think a chips away or similar should be able to deal with it. Like muzzyd the nearest sprayer I've used to you is Inverness, not handy. Let me know if you want me to check with the Aberdeen scooby lot - I know a few of them have had to have paintwork damage sorted out.

[Jonrms]

what the fuxxxx you guys are getting ripped off.
i just had my whole car resprayed baked and sorted for less then a grand
anyway to get those scratches out probs about 100 pounds
come to hull and i will drag your over quoted butts to this auto respray shop..
heck if you guys come in pairs i am sure he will give a discount..
infact that is worth asking..
about 100 pounds prob less for those scratches
and for the filler cap guy!!!
yeah you
probs the same.
honestly no BS
and it is a mint cond job.
add a hotel on to the cost and still less than 200 £
or just drop it off for the weekend and pick it up the following..
