Is this secure?

Took a Vectra to the knee today. I cant get it sorted until later this month, which is annoying. eSure seem to be barely motivated. In any case, i'm a little worried about that gap. Any chance someone can use it to gain entry?

Image size sorry.

Ant Man maybe ?

I've no idea but from what I can tell, I'd say no.

I mean, my entire repertoire of car larceny skills is based on movies where people use little bars or whatever. It's just kinda close to the lock so thought id check.

Is the door still locking ok?

I'd doubt it as they'd have to do some serious work to pry it open.

If its a vectra they'll probably just jam a screwdriver in next to the lock anyway

(thats what happened to my dads a few years ago).

It would still need to be pried open, this hasn't really made it any different, just perhaps a little (and I do mean a little) easier.

If it's a Vectra they wouldn't want to steal it anyway

I've used crow bars quite a lot of my life, I reckon a clever person would get into it, but not easily.

I think OP's joke backfired

He means a vectra hit his car. His car is not a vectra, it's an audi

Do people still steal cars?

Oh. It's not a Vectra, it's an Audi A3. The Vectra had 0 damage, 'cause justice.

Clarkey · 8 Oct 2015 at 17:28

How old is the A3? That damage is pretty severe they might write it off anyway.

DampCat · 8 Oct 2015 at 17:55

62 Plate, 16k miles. They're not writing it off based on the photos ive sent but did estimate 3.5k if it's just superficial (door and rear wing replaced) maybe up to 4.5k if there's anything on the chassis... it was very low speed impact so shouldnt be anything too serious under there.
