Scratched LCR

[Scoobers]

Kinda brutal, but my neighbours son walked up behind some guy in the process of keying his BMW. Not entirely sure what happened to the guy as Freddie (Yes his real name) left him lying, seemingly unconcious, on the pavement.

Everytime I see a new scratch in my car I think back to that day and feel a little less angry.

I moved house a few months back, and there aren't enough spaces down my new road for every-one to park. Since living here my car has been scratched TWICE by people trying to squeeze into a space behind me that is just too small for their cars!

£140 for a scratch? dono if just my area but i can get roughly a panel sprayed for 100notes

Anyone reccomend any guys in Birmingham area who are reasonably priced?!! I was reversing past a new metal beam quite nicely, didnt realise a 4inch hinge sticking out towards the bottom scraped my bumper and i got stuck with the hinge between my wheel and rear bumper!! couldnt reverse, or couldnt go forward (wouldve ripped off bumper!!) some kind gentlemen (bout 6 of them) helped me push it sideways an out!!! Boy was i pissed!!!!!!

How about getting motorway chips/scratches from bonnet and wings - what do you guys suggest?? Cheers.

Just an idea but if you want to get rid of small stone chips then get the exact paint to match your car and get a small paint brush, turn it around and sharpen the end of the wood into a point and dab it in the paint and touch up the chip. That way you don't risk going over the old paint causing a blob, allow to dry then maybe try a really low course sand paper the 3M kind to take the top off of the paint then buff up to a shine again. I did this on my mums car and it looks alot better, just an idea though, my mums car has metallic paint which made it harder to do but you can't see anything unless you get right up close and look really hard.

some little scrubber tried to key my car recently, only thing is they must have used part of the key handle in their haste, and just left a plastic line that I rubbed of with me finger - lucky escape!

Cool, take it to seat then he will wish he never said it then

thats a bit skank
I would just take it to a local garage with a good rep that will give you a car for the day whilst its being done

they will probably do a better job that seat too!

i dont think the death penalty is enough.... slow torture to the little sh*t....
reep the rewards...
dont they realise these are our babies.. work hard play harder...
i also find those annoying little dings in your doors that you get from some pillock who uses your car as a buffer for their door... that really gets my back up...
mine goes in a garage now to stop em keying my car.

 

[Mike Green]

Yeah - agree with you Mick. I put mine in the garage to stop it.

Those dings in your car are the worst. I have come out of Sainsburys before to see this car door literally rested on mine, with the door moving back and forth in the wind, continually hitting the door. I looked at it and there about 6/7 little dinks plus a dent.

I went mental at the person, who really did not care and their only defense was 'it was not me, i was nowhere near your car'..

These people along with keyers need to be shot in the legs and arms and left to feel the pain that we cupra lovers similarly feel.

good call.... funny how the door bumpers do nothing though...especially when
its those damm annoying 4 x 4 with their high doors.....
i just park taking up 2 spaces... had a few people moan in the past but so what.
its my baby...
