Another dead 182

Sideways182 · Nov 23, 2015

Morning all,
Well, the 182 got vandalised on my birthday (nice that :up

. Insurance have written it off.

Both wing mirrors have been ripped off, roof caved in and it needs a lot of glass.
I have the option to buy it back from the scrappy once it clears insurance. Spent a tidy sum on it and has had both belts and dephaser done recently.
Question I have is should I bother?
Roof I can probably kick back out from inside. Wing mirrors shouldn't be a problem.
Glass is my biggest concern - anyone know how much a windscreen, rear hatch and rear three quarter window will set me back? And is it a big job to swap glass out?
Any feedback appreciated.

Random attack or pissed someone off :frowning:

Shame to see it in that state

Addicted · Nov 23, 2015

If you even remotely plan to buy it back, cover those holes up.

fairm010 · Nov 23, 2015

s**t mate, sorry to see that. I'd be gutted if that happened to my car. You owe anyone money? lol

Needless to say, woman involved. Prefer not to get into it on an open forum though.

True. That's another problem. It's probably been sat outside on the scrapyard for getting on a week now. Don't think they'd bother covering it up.

Let it go to the scrap yard in the sky, or buy to break..

Roof damage will always look jizz

MicKPM · Nov 23, 2015

Agreed, let it go and buy another but that is a damn shame. Arseholes are everywhere at the minute with dumb s**t like this.

N4TH4N · Nov 23, 2015

f**k me done that over good n propa. What a shame.

Sideways182 · Nov 23, 2015

Looks like it's going to stay in the scrappy.

ParisPeach · Nov 23, 2015

Jesus christ. People are c***s.

berilia · Nov 23, 2015

What the f**k?!

I would but it back, break it down. Sell the parts, get a better one

Women.

Awful to see mate

matthewsimone · Nov 23, 2015

If its cheap cheap cheap to buy back then be daft not to really mate
Id have that good as new for a few hundred quid

MicKPM · Nov 23, 2015

We had the local new build estate done recently - cars, doors, walls, windows... even the alarm boxes at the ridge were done and they properly went to town. Anarchy in the UK and all the b****cks it seems as if the thin Police numbers don't have enough crap to deal with - If they're unfortunate enough to get caught be me tagging my cars or property, i'll not hesitate to smash them in the balls a few times before painting their faces Smurf blue. I'll go Sangara on dem badmanz eh @Typhoon!

Leave your wifes phone indoors while you're doing it though, yeah?

The Chubby Pirate · Nov 23, 2015

100% i'd have punched her c**t in.

Budgie · Nov 23, 2015

At least get a figure of how much to buy it back.

My bet is it would be sub £500. Which is a bargain.

berilia · Nov 23, 2015

How's the spoiler, bonnet and boot lid looking?
I'm after them if you do buy it back and break it!
(Aside the glass. I buy own glass..)

Typhoon · Nov 23, 2015

Op; if it's related to a woman/relationship, surely you can grass that person in?

Nice little police man came out.
"Nah, won't bother sending SOC. They won't get anything because it's been raining"
Gave me a crime reference number and not heard anything from the police ever since.
I'm the one that's had to go round gathering CCTV and speaking to the neighbours.

See above - "no evidence"

Honestly, spoiler is fine but boot lid had a little crease in it by the number plate mounting point (happened before it got smashed up). Bonnet I need to check as someone has obviously climbed up it.

That's about all they want to do these days. Get you the crime number and wash their hands of it because WW3 is about to erupt on home soil courtesy of the Sun readers.

Akay · Nov 23, 2015

Its ridiculous, and hasnt got any better by the sounds of it! I had my EP3 done a few years back - they stole the parcel shelf and smashed window and boot panel in doing so - I had a name, car, registration (I chased them off), and the police said they wouldnt persue it any further due to lack of evidence.

I would personally leave it or buy to break - from experience they never feel the same after something like that.

It's a sad state of affairs. 52% of all crimes reported in my county are instantly washed out (not investigated).

Hodgins · Nov 23, 2015

id definatley look into buying it back to break, i bought my 1.2 back for less than £50 after someone crashed into it when it was parked

its was something like 6% of the value if declared as cat C and 8% if it was D with my insurance

Hixle · Nov 23, 2015

Massive pain in the arse.

I bought my Trophy back for £400ish. Near enough made it back through the dampers, but it was a massive hassle breaking it/selling the parts. If you have the time, you'd get a fair bit back in parts!

Ahh, my boot lid is the same!
BG innit? drop me a pm if you sell?

berilia · Nov 23, 2015

You'd get enough to buy another 182 just from the gear box and exhaust! Buy it back! Sell parts to me!

Filters · Nov 23, 2015

I'd personally buy it back and keep as a parts donor.

OP that's a shitter. I've a spare shell here in Iceberg silver.
I've no need for the mirrors or the rear windows....you're welcome to them if you decide to buy it back. :up:

Karlos182 · Nov 23, 2015

Buy it back! I did last month for £225. Even if you don't break it or get it on the road again you could eBay it as it is and still turn a profit.

icebergclio · Nov 23, 2015

dude sorry to hear that. that said, if i knew whod done that to my car id be floating in a 5hitstorm of crap at full speed headed in their direction. women problems maybe but theres nothing to say it wont happen again to your next motor because of the same ****! let them know what comes around goes around....

benhwolves · Nov 24, 2015

Thought it was a jealous wolves fan until I read the thread. Pretty low to smash a car up regardless of the circumstances, but that's the lovely society we live in.

Unless OP comes clean with what the issue was that led to this, it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility that maybe, just maybe, he did have it coming.
Unlikely, yet plausible

So, where were you a couple night back mate?

This kind of s**t always happens because some tart runs her mouth to some dude who wants to bang her.

Do you know who did it? Slide a frozen tray of piss under their front door so they wake up to a piss stain in the morning and wonder who the f**k came into their house and pissed in their front foyer.

Tbh I'd fix it. Gives a big middle finger up to whoever did it. Will pov spec glass fit?

Matt W · Nov 24, 2015

That's terrible, sorry to see.

I really don't understand why people do this, it's so cowardly to not speak to your face and just ruin your car.
