HI,
Got up this morning and found that some TW@T had ripped my rear wing off,still leaving a small piece of it on, so if they were nicking it for a scooby they failed.
This is the 3rd attack on my car (sti 5 type r), in 2 months now and i am absoluteley sick of it.
Result: New wing £1000.00 plus paint and fitting for a genuine one from japan (dont want a cheap replica)
Wing and door sprayed £230.00 (from previuos attack.
TOTAL about 1500 quid,
Do i claim on my insurance which has a £400 exess and lose 3 yrs bonus (£700 increase next time).
My other option is to sell the car as it is and keep my insurance status, and buy a standard car ie focus.Or pay for the damage.
SK

Cool

Sorry to hear it m8, the most annoying thing is that the money could be spent on holiday/track etc!

Fit tracker monitor, if i lean on the car they phone me to tell me!! , have done it twice now and trust me it's cool! also gives you more security when leaving it parked anywhere!

Bad news m8.
Let's hope next time this person goes for a ****, it's a sky-scraper with all the windows left open.

Absolutely gutted for you mate. Why can they not leave it alone and respect it for what it is - a superb vehicle.

If you find out who it is I will come round and help you sort them.

An attempt was made on my car recently

When they tried they couldn't get past the alarm and so stole the 22B rear spoiler and induction kit and all my award wining install on the ICE front and fried the programmable Ecu !

The mess they made of my wings led to respraying them!


I would just like to say that I always gave the the little sods a forthright time in prison whenever they said they were in prison for TDA.

Not one of the little *******s said said "oh I stole a car and thrashed it"! It was always TDA and a £30 fine! AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thats a bugger matey

I had a stone thrown at my car once, did the bonnet, scuttle, wiper arm and the screen I've recently found that someone I know, knows who did it though, might be paying someone a visit!

Hope you get sorted, it'd be a shame to see it go.

"Jesus" sorry to hear about the car J, we know exactly what you're having to put up with It's so f***ing annoying when some
motherf***er comes along and does damage to your car that you've worked hard for.
It's usally kids I find who do it, and this is one of the reasons we're getting a garage
just to stop the mindless vandalism, only last week we heard someone saying to their
mate "I'll give you 40 **** to put the scooby's window through" just as well he did'nt cause I'd have broke the f***ers legs and left him for the crows...
anyway SK you have mail...
don't let the f***ers get you down

**** mate sorry to hear that but do you mind me asking where you are from and where you park your car.
I am at uni, dont own a scooby but i have found that most of the car vandalism round here and most other cities where universities and colleges are near is by the pissed student to55ers.
I am a student myself and won't drive to any of my mates houses because the students walking home from a night out always get drunk and do something stupid for a laugh. This can sometimes be kicking a car for a joke, not very funny. It has happened to my mates and i am trying to prevent it from happening to me.

Just a thought!!!!!!!!

Sorry again to hear the bad news, i can relate to it. I had my car keyed on every panel quite expensive, i tell you!!!!!!!

Same happened to me. Some TO***R ripped my 22b spoiler off. Now i have to go through the trouble of ordering a new spoiler from MRT in Australia and a new boot lid as i did not tell my insureres about it. What a bummer eh?
