    gutted for you Chris  . .  . typical of this country nowadays  . .  .

surely someone must have seen or heard that happen 

But no one wants to get involved  . . . mainly because of the hastle they get from the police .

So sorry for you mate  . . . looked a  real lovely car 

[MaxV6]

i'm furking livid……   


(i had decided to buy it……  without photos……    spent this morning emptying the back of the sofa for a deposit…..   )


ARGGHHHHHH


i better find bloody push bike then

(seriously,   the mv6 is not long for this world)

[Webby the Bear]

Really sorry to see this. The amount of people who do this is unbelievable. I've been hit twice in the supermarket with no notes left. nowhere near as bad as this 

[tigers_gonads]

FFS, i've just seen this 

No words other then dismember the bastard if you ever get wind of who did this 

[Elite Pete]

I'm really sorry to see the mess made of your lovely Omega Chris

Unfortunately it's a sign of the times, there are very few honest people around these days and the police don't want to know unless they can catch the culprit red handed, it's too time consuming and less chance of meeting their targets

[cem_devecioglu]

sorry to see that..      


although costly and requires some serious pro work , can be repaired.. both panels must be changed.. if you prefer to..




and matching the color is also not that easy..

[Rods2]

Sorry to see what has happened to a lovely car. What a 'see you next tuesday' that has done this and just driven off. Makes my blood boil.

[B-Buster]

What an absolute bastard leaving your car like that without a note. 

Very sorry for you! Hope the idiot can be traced somehow, but still that does not undo the damage to the car.

That is shocking for you   

Is the position of the car in the pics the same position when it was clouted

If so, from the one way arrow; I`d say it was reversed into by something heavy.

I see the bins are out, wasn`t a bin day was it A lazy bin-lorry driver backing up a one way street maybe. Call the local council & check if any of their drivers have filed a collision report. Years ago I worked for the local city council & we were told if a stationary vehicle was hit & if no one was around,  then just file a report. We were told never to admit liability & only call the cops if someone was injured.

Car was parked elsewhere when it happened, in a quieter 2 way Street, I actually drove the Car to the Plod Shop, then gave up and parked about a 5 min walk away as couldn't find anywhere to park near the Shop. That's where I decided to take some Pics.

What a sad ,sad sight to see . It looks such a lovely car .
I can only " think " what I would feel like if it happened to me .
Little consolation Chris , but I do hope you manage to find out who the culprit was/is .
Good luck .
Don

[biggriffin]

Got to ask. Will you be breaking it,

[Shackeng]

What a shame, I am really sorry for you Chris. Very disappointing that no-one claims to have seen or heard it happen.

[zirk]

Oh no.

Lorry drivers perhaps. Looks like a tricky repair on the rear wing.

Yea, I think the rear wing really tells the future of the car. 

Might be worth a word with Robseymv6 as he's replaced a rear wing on an Estate iirc. Involved cutting and welding/spot welding, while supporting the roof of the car.

Might well be worth buying it back if its written off...? Either for repair or parts.

Dont let them take it off you though. Either for storage or any other reason. Bad things happen in storage, either further damage, bits go missing, or it's not unknown for them to loose the car altogether.

Cars not going anywhere Chris. It belongs to me, moi, mine.

Im not convinced an insurance claim is financially viable tbh, no third party to claim against means me paying my excess, losing my NCB, then paying for the repair / them getting there money back in increased premiums over the next few years 

Car is effectively a Write Off, due to its age, so it will end up as a Cat something if if done though insurance, devauling it even further. 

Otherwise known as a Lose, Lose and Lose situation.

Changing the damaged doors and wing is no different to someone changing them because they're rusty imho. No reason why, if the repair is half decent that the value should change at all... especially if not done through insurers
