Car vandalised

I've had down to the metal removed in the past without paint, I dont think its that deep anyway, going off the pic

Not the only post in this thread that you have made thats been nonsence.

How is polishing metal going to make it:

A) Black again (car looks black from photo?)
B) The same height as the surrounding paint?

Yes wonderful things can be achieved with 2000 grit/trizac and a mop, but not freaking miracles :rolleyes:

The good news is as its black (?) blending the front wings shouldnt be necessary.

A rule of thumb... If your fingernail gets 'caught' as you rub it accross the scratch it will need paint (be that touch up, SMART, or respray)
Looking at the pic I would say thats a bonnet respray.

:(
 
My car has never been keyed but my parents have had about 6 cars since I can remember and 2 have been keyed, one was done 2 months back in Black country.
 
I take it you own a BMW Z4, this is the only reason this was done, BMW's are one of the most vandalised cars in the country.
 
Dude... Sorry to see more vandalism to another members car, it was only a few days ago we were talking about vandalism on another members car and how people couldn't care less about somebody else’s property.

It’s sad - we can't have anything nice these days without some knuckle dragger ruining it.
 
I'm with Admiral but I haven't even looked at the policy document or called them yet so I don't know. That would be a bonus! If it's less than £500 I'll probably just take the hit myself. IIRC my insurance excess is £350 so I'd lose that anyway and the associated increase in premium next year.

I wouldn't even mention it to them. Find a couple of good local garages and get a quote from them to respray the bonnet.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. I'll have to enjoy my big **** until Tuesday as I'm away until then. Out of interest, can anyone recommend a body shop in or around Winchester or Southampton?

BTW I had no idea I was so hated on here. I've had three emails telling me I deserved it. Real nice, huh?

Really? Nobody deserves their property being vandalised. What have you said to people on here to warrant emails?

I used to be a bit of a tool on here a few years ago but I thought all that was in the past. Hey ho.

So I got a text from the police with a crime reference number, the police constable's name and a number to call for any queries. Pretty damn slick :)

Ive been on here years as well but can't say I remember. I've always been a regular reader but yea I guess people remember stuff and hold a grudge, for me life is too short.
 
Balls. That's a pretty horrible thing to do to someone's car. It does look personal though, you could have cut up the wrong person or had a case of mistaken identity..

P.S - I thought you were in NI? When did you make the move to the big island? ;)

It's either an opportunist or mistaken identity. I can't think of anything else.

I've been over here almost 7 years now:eek: Hopefully I'll not make it into double figures though. I've had enough already :p
