Sorry to hear this - they should have their hands chopped off

Glam · Apr 19th, 2007, 04:35 PM

Oh dear

I've not had anyone do that to me but I did have some little kid chucking stones at mine yesterday. My blood was boiling so I can imagine how you feel. What's wrong with people eh?

JAMIE1131 · Apr 19th, 2007, 04:42 PM

that sucks, jealous t****. Hope you get it sorted

sef · Apr 19th, 2007, 04:48 PM

So sorry to hear this... SOOOOOOOOOOO annoying...Looking at the first pic it looks as though some kid has scraped it with his/her handlebars...

nobbynumnuts · Apr 19th, 2007, 04:50 PM

You should be able to get that done quite easily at one of the many body touch up guys, check out yellow pages. Most do a good job, try to find one on reccomendation if you can.

Gutting I know how it feels someone knifed my 5 series two weeks running! in a quiet village. Very sorry to hear this.

Rosamalosa · Apr 19th, 2007, 07:36 PM

That is awful, why can't people just leave whats not theirs alone!!! I'd be gutted, already had my wing mirror ripped off in january, it's jealousy at the end of the day and just plain evil

hope it gets sorted soon ..

Parc77 · Apr 19th, 2007, 07:57 PM

mindless idiots that will never have a nice car in there lives, hope you get it sorted asap

Just noticed my car was keyed in a Giant food store parking lot.
Two thin scratches on either side of the boot, between the glass and the handle on either side,
and a longer deeper scratch along the right rear quarter panel (about 14 inches).
Wasn't there this morning, and car wasn't anywhere else where it was likely to happen except then.

Since Bliksem is now over 4 1/2 year old, I don't think I can justify getting it professionally
tended to, but after all this time, the only other scars are a couple very tiny parking lot door dings,
and a shallow scratch in the clear coat where a rock or something slid up the bonnet, and
the usual sparse bonnet chips (most of which have been touched up).

Maybe I'll try my hand at touching it up with a toothpick followed by a thin glaze of clear coat.

Bliksem (the car's name) means lightning, So I guess it looks like it's had battle with its own kind.

Oh well.......darn, bugger and blast.

some people needs to get their hands broken. If I ever cought someone that did something like that to mine, I'l just beat them up, I'll run them over at high speed.. just so that it doesn't kill em though!

lucachiarelli · Sep 15th, 2007, 11:46 AM

Sorry to hear this. I know how you feel I had an rx8 last year and every panel was scratched so I ended up having to get a respray. I dont understand why anyone would do such a stupid thing.

Nebdingo · Sep 17th, 2007, 01:01 PM

Jealousy people! thats all it is!!

the best thing I EVER did was build my garage. these people just need a good kiicking thats all they understand!

Im a car lover, I love looking at, maintaining, cleaning cars and love to see a nive motor regardless of make and model. but I wouldnt dream of damaging it!

no doubt it was some chav who has nothing better to do!

IH1 · Sep 18th, 2007, 05:57 PM

I know how you feel, I had my MCS keyed at the beginning of the year and I cried because my pride and joy had been vandalised by an idiot who has no respect for anything.

Hope it gets fixed soon!

cristo · Sep 18th, 2007, 07:58 PM

I touched up the scratches and now consider them battle scars.
With a name like Bliksem, he's gotta be able to take some abuse with stride.
Doesn't look too bad after polishing and waxing the touched up areas.
(I know the paint is supposed to cure before waxing, but it's not a perfect job anyway.)
