Default I've not even had it 5 days.

It's been vandalised already.
Keyed down both passenger doors, the rear Q and the bootlid quite badly.

Absolutely gutted.

Blimey! that's awful ( and makes my blood boil ).

Someone has given that a serious going over - no casual "coming back ****ed from the pub late at night and I'll show the owner what's what" type keying.

Is there a history of this in your neck of the woods or is some Chav on your case?

Someone's a wee bit jealous there I'd say!

Do you have a local neighbourhood watch scheme? Ours has a camera we can borrow to catch thugs like that in the act.

Could come in handy - there's nothing worse than fixing it only for the gits to do it again....

I've not ****ed anyone off, I'm not like that!

It was parked on-street, opposite my flat. The culprits would have had to walk across a muddy grass verge to do it.

There is a nasty neighbour living downstairs, but I doubt she'd do it. You never know, though. Doesn't matter anyway as I'm moving over the weekend.

I've contacted a few mobile smart repair companies and hopefully I'll get a couple of chaps round to give me a quote.

Gah. This makes me really angry!

Mines safe when I'm at home here, but when I'm staying with the girlfriend I have to park it in a public car park overnight in Chichester city centre. So far (touch wood) I've been ok. It's CCTV monitored but that means jack these days!

Hope you manage to get it sorted without costing the earth.

thats not a nice thing to see, i had mine done must be about a year ago (front wing, doors & rear wing) & even tho it was caught on camera & we heard what was going on, ran out & caught one of the lads the police didn't do a thing. Came back to us & said "we've made them have to appologise to you's", which they never did anyway

sorry to hear that, I had a similar experience not so long ago too, stayed at my friends house in bishops stortford for the weekend, sunday morning I came out to load up the car and found this.....


http://community.webshots.com/photo/...9383914bBaEKq#

keyed all down one side and the roof and jumped on the bonnet and roof.

Needless to say if I'd caught the bastard I would have tied him to the towbar and towed him all the way back to shropshire.

I've used some touch up to try and repair it but its buggered, I'm considering a full respray in the summer when I've saved my pennies.
