Someone KEYED my car

[AKFM]

Never posted a thread before but i need the help. Woke up this morning to find someone had purposely keyed my car starting from bonnet, onto front passenger wing, passenher door, and rear panel ending at the rear lights. Absolutely gutted!!! its so deep on my black gold 182 that it looks like a white line all across it. makes me so sick just glancing at the damage!! Reported the vandalism to the police but as usual, they say theres nothing they can do about it.

what shall i do guys and how much you reckon for repairs? Is it worth a claim on the insurance though my excess is £650,

any advice is much appreciated!!! as if i dont have enough to pay for now christmas is round the corner

 

[Timmay]

f**k going through insurance with that much of an excess

prob still cost a fair bit to get repaired but not as much as your excess

 

[martandem]

So harsh mate, sorry to hear.... do a search on here for good bodyshops/painters in your area, get a few quotes etc. They can do genius these days, and as above, i'd imagine it wont be more than your excess, or much past it and at least you dont have to make a claim.... putting some pics up might get you some more advice too...

 

[Da]

Gutting! My worst nightmare this!
Hope all gets sorted for you.

 

[simonwwfc]

sorry to hear about this but this seems more and more common now . just happy ive got a big driveway well off the road with cctv ... break there fingers

 

[AKFM]

making a claim wont affect my insurance as its classed as vandalism cover with directline. But its the fact of paying excess of £650. will try get some pics up but never done it before and dont know how to??? going to some boydwork garages to get some quotes but i reckon it will be close to my excess amount. cheers for help guys

 

[Brett]

Hope they catch and hang the b******s that did it mate.

Don't claim through insurance unless your over 30 with a million protected NCB because otherwise they'll make you pay for it over and over again for the next 3-5 years.

 

[Cupster]

I would rather someone burn my car to be honest!! Sickening!

If its down to the metal, at least seal it with a touch up stick or something until you can afford the spray work tbh

 

[Craig]

little b******s id be mega pissed. id try and get quotes mate.

 

[fossie]

f**king b******s

 

[Tupps]

I'd be highly pissed off if this happened to me

 

[scott1205]

Not a lead to follow,i did that and ended up in court.

 

[Tupps]

It happened to me when i first passed, my cousin heard somebody boasting about doing it and he smashed his leg with a golf club, made me feel slightly better

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I cant wait til someone actually catches these b******s in the act.

Id f**king freak out tbh!

 

[hopey-182]

same as you m8 looked at my car one morning and it had been keyed its a gut wrenching feeling. pure scum ive got a titanium 182 needed the rear quater and dorr painting £160 not a bad price. when youve had paint repairs done on youre pride and joy its never tha same as before good luck.

bring back death penalty

 

[stevo172-RWD]

hate reading these theads.
why do people do this?
go help them if they do get caught by me.

 

[Whiteley]

Gutted

Where abouts in Lincs are you mate?

 

[JW]

bring back death penalty

+1

 

[iimushroomzii]

Bastids!!!!

 

[alanc1000]

i had my black gold keyed twice.

I took it on each occasion to a chipsaway style mobile repairer - the second time was at Halfords where they do scratch repair.

It cost £100 per panel, and came back looking like new.

 

[Inodaz]

Gutted to hear mate. What Cnuts! Try going round a few bodyshops getting some quotes as said. If it comes to more, then best go through insurance.

 

[Paul.]

thats pish mate. me n the mrs woke up this morning to find the same thing happened to her car last night in Edinburgh. b****rds

 

[Cr1spy69]

Sorry to hear about your car being keyed bud. These f*ckers should be strung up by the balls for doing this. I had my V6 Cavvy keyed a few years back and was raging so I know how you feel. I was bricking it after I got it fixed - every little noise I was twitching the curtain like Paul Whitehouse doing .... Hello my name's Michael Payne I'm a nosey neighbour ...

Don't let them get you down. Halfords £100 a panel sounds like a reasonable solution.

 

[AKFM]

Gutted

Where abouts in Lincs are you mate?

Im in Skegness mate, where r u? got ne good boyshops there?

 

[AKFM]

thanks a lot for all your replies and help. luckily, ive found a place that will repair but im still bricking it on whether the job will be any good!!! thats probably another one of my worst nightmares. Imagine getting ur car back and the paint is so badly done. thanks a lot peeps, let ya all know when its all repaired. But its never going to be the same as original paint

 

[jonnyg]

i feel your pain on this one mate,mine was done last week,its just pricks who dont like to see us in nice motors

 

[Adamski182]

sorry to hear it mate - my clio got done outside work a couple of months ago all down one side - cant be arsed getting it repaired now as i bet it would happen again the second i get it sorted - you cant have nowt can you (my 4th car thats been keyed) - probably jobless little pikeys who cant afford anything half decent - not even washed the car since it happened the scratch sticks out like sore thumb.

Ouch thats so unlucky, i proper feel your pain. think once is enough and i will actually cry if it happens again! ive had to have mine repaired as i cant drive around with it, everytime i look at it it makes me cringe. dont know how u can live with it there to be honest! but i dont blame u for not getting it as it has happened to four other cars. i would look for them and chop each finger off slowly :rasp:

 

[scott7912]

I would find out who it was, put there nuts on a block and bang them with i spike bat, stich their ass hole closed and keep feeding them till they burst, oops, think i got carried away there, lol.
Seriously though i would be gutted, just put a note on your car telling them to give u a knock so you can rip their throat out.

 

[geekham]

Im in Skegness mate, where r u? got ne good boyshops there?

In skegness? Im in skegness too! what colour 182 do you have?

 

[Chili Red]

Arghh gutted for you. I know how you feel, it happened to my 182. The people who do it are total scum. Takes seconds for the b*****d to do, costs hundreds to fix.

Mine cost £250 for two panels but looked good as new, and apparently racing blue is a really hard colour to match.

 

[mini-valver]

Gte yourself on Detailing world and ask about. Touch up pen, some wet n dry and time with the PC can work wonders fella.

 

[The Seer]

Sympathy to you.

Ars*hole did my nearside front wing a few months back.

The rage!

 

[welsh_lozzy_2006]

i had my punto scratched in skeg, only little on bonnet aswell. it was parked on ida road, thats a main street, cant believe someone would do it there, p****ed me off but heh i have me new car now

If someone keyes that there dead coz im off to skeg today arghhhh!

And feel for those who have had there car keyed, some idiot keyed the boyfriends civic type from front to back on the passenger side, poor lad he was so gutted!

 

[mcphee197]

Just imagine if you caught one of them. Just imagine it!

I would seriously tear them a second @rse hole. I get wound up by reading when people have had this done to them, its just a sorry state of affairs.

Id love to get hold of one.

 

[scott1205]

bring back death penalty

haha

 

[andy-footitt]

i didnt have my car keyed somebody ran over my whole roof and left 4 massive foot marks on it. Had to get my roof reskinned. I have now lost 3 years no claims its heart breaking trust me. Ill post some pictures of it later.

 

[Android]

Shocking.I just got keyed aswell. Car is getting fixed up at the moment. £200 for passenger door and rear quarter panel resprayed. So i reckon yours might cost in the region of £400 - £500 to fix
