Default Now I'm REALLY p****d off!!

Well, Saturday I joined everyone at the Poser's, (which was great!) then got home, parked the car out side my house like I normally do, in the normal place. Got up Sunday to take Cadbury Agility Training, and... Great, some little git has keyed the bonnet and the whole left side of my car! So thats the bonnet, front wing, door, and rear quarter!
I had a small scratch on the rear 1/4 that I thought was a key mark, but it was quite small, so put it down to a bag or something being dragged across in a car park, but now, I'm not so sure!
I am soooo annoyed! GGRRRRRRR!

It's just really put me off keeping the car now! I was talking to NickBes at Poser's and said I was considering sell the girl, but now, I'm going to have to pay out for the re spray before I even think of it! GGRRRRR!

how bad is it? post up some pics.

might be worth getting some dr colourchip on order and i'll see what i can do

it's not just scoobs it happens to though. my brother in law was at a party saturday night in the gatwick area, went to go home and someone had batter the f**k out of his windscreen (fiesta zetec s) with what looks like a baseball bat. also put a nice dent in the roof and a piller.

Arrrggghhh - it makes me so annoyed that people do things like this - hopefully Em, its not too deep - the scratch on gooners bonnet is bad and definatley needs a spray - but maybe a visit for you to matt first would be an idea

Hope you get it sorted though without further incident

Cheers guys! The scratches are pretty deep, so I don't think Dr Chip will do it, unfortunately!
Can anyone recommend any where, PM the details etc, so I can get some quotes this week. If it costs too much, it may be an insurance job!

This is where Jim and I go:-

Car Repair, Car Body Repair, mot testing, and vehicle service centre in Basildon, Essex. - Swan Coachworks Ltd

He will need to see the car foe a quote so if you pop in tell him that we sent you (he will remember us) and that you will pay cash he always does us a reasonable price

why sell. it could happen to what ever car you have. you'll only get bored with what else you have and want another scoob. been there done that, along with a fair few other ESCers.

Em,

Another place VERY near to home is Prestige Bodyworks, based on the Robert Leonard Ind Estate just off of Stock Road, literally a five minute walk from your house.

Ask for Darcy and tell him either me or Andy have sent you ...... You'll get it done for the right price then

As you know, I had my car keyed before Christmas, and being Black, it showed up quite badly, but Darcy saved the day in the end

I feel for you bud, nothing worse than taking care of your car or a scummy bugger to come along and trash it.
Within the space of a year i had my evo v nicked and wrote off and my new scooby keyed down to the metal over four different panels!

Yep, been there. Went yesterday, and saw your brother too! Darcy asked if I knew you.... I said OH YES, I know Nate!! He has done a good price, but nmow I have to decide whether to go through insurance.

Was my brother over there in one of his Yank tanks, and I would guess it would be his Dayvan he was in

I hate the insurance routes, because you know it will affect your bonus for a couple of years.
