Tues night i parked for a couple of hours, came back to the car and found someone had keyed (deeply too) all over my car.
Drivers side - 2 scratches the whole length
Boot - across the whole thing
Passengers side - right down the whole length.

I am so upset. what kind of person does that!!
went to VW who said the scratches have gone all the way through all the layers of paint and are too deep to repair, and it will need a respray.
they reakon about £300 per panel, and there are 6 damaged panels. that is over a months pay to me....

Am devastated.

Thats awful - im so sorry someone has done that to your lovely car. I would be completelly devastated as im sure you are.
Maybe someone on here could offer some advice on perhaps buffing the paint using cutting compounds and the like to reduce the visibility of the damage.

Hope it gets sorted soon

Get onto the council and see if there is any cameras in the area you where parked mate,  sorry to see the damage, its this sort of thing that make your blood boil :sick: would it not be cheaper to go through the insurance??? I know you will lose out especially in this day and age of high premiums.

I hate little chavy bleeders who think cos they cannot have something they will damage it instead :fighting:

I hope they grow up and get something they treasure and someone sets it on fire.

Why would someone even think of doing this, sucks.
Hope you get it sorted out and it doesnt take too much hassle.

Sh1t happens - I've just had a 2/3 repray with a new N/S front wing, chrome plinth and bonnet because my R32 was vandalised by people trying to break into our garage.

I feel for you, I really do but best not to get to worked up about it as it'll eat away at you. It's horrible and you feel really targeted but try to put it behind you. At least it didn't happen at home like mine did. I still walk out to every morning wondering if they've come back.

Is it not cheaper just to claim on the insurance? The excess should only equate to price of one panel and because it's a non-fault vandalism claim, you shouldnt get get stung too badly when you renew.
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

Gutted for you mate... what is it with people and not respecting others stuff??  :fighting:

I would also say insurance would prob be better as the hike and excess would prob work out cheaper than paying for it yourself

Gutted for you mate... that's my worst nightmare. Pure evil. Good advice from animal, as hard as it will be, don't let it eat you up. Where abouts did this happen?

My Twingo had £1500 worth of damage, which is £500 over my wage, I had to go through insurance and it has put my premium up £300ish each year! Despite it being a none fault claims mate :(

Just something to think about, wish I saved up as it would've worked out less! £500 insurance and £300 for 3 years (last 3 years on insurance database) that's £1400 in total.

Didn't want to be the bearer of bad news but just trying to help!
