yeah I should know better!
It looks so peng though especially for the pictures  :grin:
don't tell anyone okay?
Seats looking good Jay!  Got any more pictures of them?

nah mate sorry not really taken any hah



unfortunately today some prick crashed into my car when it was parked out of the way, infront of my mums house, in a quiet respectable residential street - damaged the wing and the wheel.




Paint has been scuffed off the wing, it's dented way beyond repair (there are also creases further along the wing where it meets the sill, what I saw in the light that originally made me think "hang on it looks wrong"). Where it's pushed the bumper down there's now a gap along between the wing and the bumper and headlight (which I've managed to help fix by bending the panel back slightly) and the wheel is covered in silver paint and has some scuff marks on it.

Pissed off is not the word.
I had the whole front end, bonnet, wings, bumper and BOTH doors all painted and blended in so the colour match was spot on about 6-8 months ago, and about a month ago had the rest of the paintwork done from Lemass... why...........

Pretty sure we know who it was, my mum spotted an Espace or a Scenic which belongs to a neighbours friend , who is a childminder at home and has people coming in and out all day) - she admitted someone had a silver car - it was silver that hit my car - as well as the black plastic trims on the rear bumper of the espace matching up in terms of height to the damage on the car.
A sh*t storm will come down when I see the car next.

Gonna call about tomorrow to get it fixed, probably at Lemass again, feel like someone's stabbed me in the heart lol... oh well. She'll be fixed and back to her good self ASAFP.

Must be the worst feeling mate. Glad your making plans to get it sorted, shame it's not one of those breakages where you can use it as an excuse to make it better  :sad1:

Sucks majorly. :sad1:
I feel for you, similar thing happened to me Christmas time, luckily it was just a grille in my case, people who do this and drive away have gotta be punished :fighting:
Hopefully it'll all be sorted soon enough though :smiley:

Feel your pain mate, when I had my old car I just spend about £1700 that day parked in the most distant space in tescos car park, walked back and watched a taxi driver cut the space and scuffed the whole back bumper boot  :confused: I nearly fell over.......

You'll get this beaut up to its glorious self again soon enough mate  :happy2:

Sorry to hear/see this Jay.

Is a kick in the gut when things like this happen. Know not much help but metal and paint can be repaired/replaced, just shame costs time and money.

On a lighter note, no 'Scene points' for running with a buckled wing?  :love:

 :sick: that's sh*t Jay. Feel for you and know the exact feeling you must have as it has happened to me more than once in the past.

Find the culprit and nothing short of hang, drawn and quartered will be enough! :fighting:

The fact that they drove away just lowers the type of person they must be!! :fighting:

proper sh*t that mate, feel for you

Someone has done the same to mine recently but not to that extent just very lightly enough to mark the bumper.

Lack of respect out there for others belongings.

Thanks everyone for the support and kind messages! :)

Alex funny you say that it's more even after that  :chicken:


Not been posting about the car lately as I hated it!

It's going on to paint this Thursday and having a couple of other bits done too :) So she'll come back looking better than ever.

But on the way back from the meet I hit the magical 100k :)
Just about proves you can have a "show" car and use it daily!! Which I really wish I didn't have to... looking at buying a cheap runaround ;)

Got the GTI headed to Lemass in a few weeks on your recommendation (or  at least the bumpers are headed there for a tidy) and cant believe the price! Was expecting about double what they quoted!

Good to see a car being used for what it was designed Jay, driving!

You still going to SpringFest on Sunday?
