Default Some b**tard scratched my car today.

Yep some arsehole decided to scratch my car today, lunchtime, bright sunshine, busy carpark and they have scratched the full length of the n/s/f wing, n/s front and rear door with something quite sharp, its gone right through the paint, a right bloody mess, reckon the whole side will need painting, f-ing gutted.The carpark has cctv which the plod say they will check but i dont hold any hope at all. Anybody recommend a bodyshop, I'm on the cambs,norfolk,lincs border and know of quite a few bodyshops but obviously would like to use a good one, also not sure yet whether to go through my insurance or stump up the cash, any thoughts??

Same thing happened to me. Absolutely gutting, they went from my rear quarter, 2 doors, front wing and bonnet.

Can't have anything nice these days!

I'd chop these ***** hands off, bunch of w4nkers

Get a quote and then decide on whether you through the insurance or not, you might be shocked at the cost of the work with all the blending etc

Gutted for you chap, I dread this sort of thing happening to me.

If you dont mind a bit of a trip then I can recommend MARC in Melton Mowbray. Flawless work without pulling your pants down.

http://www.marcrepairs.co.uk/custom.html

They do a lot of arch repairs on Impreza's which are passed on from tuners like TSL etc.

Mark uses a lot of new techniques so may not have to spray the whole panel, but as a guide he resprayed the whole side, bonnet and bumper on an old car of mine for £300

people cant bear to see others with nice things, some tool put 3 massive dents in bonnet with i can only guess was a hammer or a stone from the look of it.
Ended up costing me £200 to get fixed but couldve been alot worse and also got a free refurb on 1 of my wheels

I feel yr pain. came out of work 1 day and some car had scraped my front. could blatantly tell and the worst thing is that I parked where there were no cars right at the back in the open. Going through the cctv etc didn't help much.
