Can't see why they do it - what is the gain  

[Martin_1962]

Jealousy, boredom, jealousy, peer pressure, jealousy, low IQ, and not having to work or save for their own posessions

this sort of vandalism makes me mad.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Hope it all works out well.

Reminds me when i lived in Edinburgh of how someones unattended little darlings decided to bounce on the neighbours car ( 3 14-16 year olds)

Neighbour chased after them - a good public servant not a ned by any means and wouldnt have inflicted any physical damage on the little darlings.....police however advised if he had made any bodily contact in catching them - even just to restrain - they would have charged the car owner!!!!

Makes you proud to be British doesnt it!!

Mine got the treatment about 3 years ago.
Some nice person scratched every panel down to the metal. Including the boot, bonnet and roof. It cost my insurance company two grand, and me £300 excess.
If I'd known that I could get a complete re-spray for £300, I would've done it myself. (only joking)

Two grand!!! Surely if its an omega it should have been an economic write-off

Maybe the owner of local tyre fitting place, trying to drum up a bit of trade   :-/

TD - that will be glass left inside your door card.

Could be AA, tho the guy fitting the new window gave it a good vacuuming out.......it started a week or so after the replacement....i thought perhaps the window had come a touch loose.

Same thing happened to my Carlton Gsi...that's why I mentioned it.

Prolly is then AA  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  Think'll i live with it for the time being tho'.

To get any access at all to the bottom of the inside of the door or window mechanism.....apart from removing the door card....you have to get out a drill and drill out rivits holding the side impact airbag sensor  :-? Knowing my luck the bl**dy air bag will go off (tho if ign is off this shouldnt happen iirc)....plus I dont have any rivits or rivit gun to refit

No-one was more suprised than me when they repaired it. [smiley=dankk2.gif]
I was even more suprised when they paid out for a new rear bumper, boot lid, and to staighten the boot floor a year or so back.  [smiley=laugh.gif]
The last one, a fortnight ago, I only bent the front bumper, offside wing, bonnet, and broke the headlight and foglight and they said it wasn't worth repairing. The cheek of it! [smiley=cry.gif]

Well I'm glad to report that alls well that ends well.  After a good amount of elbow grease, a lot of 'discussion' about the youth of today and a blo0dy good polish, we have gleaming paint once again.

I'm trying to look to the positive (if thats possible...), at least it's given me the motivation to cut the paint back and build up some nice polish.   I don't need a mirror in the morning now, I can check my hair in the car wing!!

As always, thanks for the support guys.

Exactly.....nice clean car that you realy wanted to do anyway!
