camera doctor 25 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Went to the Bon Jovi Concert in Christchurch the other Sunday. - Excellent concert Was dark when we left, drove home, parked Beemer in Garage, hadn't used it again till last night. Look at these pics - this is what some dickhead has done to it Was hoping a good cut and polish might help, but it is right down to the metal on the front guard I guess I'm up for a respray of that side ? I think my insurance excess is $250 or $500, so It'll cost me that TOTALLY GUTTED - SENSELESS VANDALISM - I'm sure it was not helped by the old BMW 'stigma' -- F%#'in Bogans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 yeap .. I hate nothing more than haters... been a victim myself twice last year in the smashed window department. totally sucks :| Respray from the crease down to the gaurd/door molding... will be around 500 yeah.. make sure that its done by someone who's good as you can sometimes see the difference in paint ... however the crease to door moldings will mask any possible blends ..

camera doctor 25 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Is it down the whole side of the car? Ouch! Yep - from the front side indicator to the fuel flap Respray from the crease down to the gaurd/door molding... will be around 500 yeah.. make sure that its done by someone who's good as you can sometimes see the difference in paint ... however the crease to door moldings will mask any possible blends .. I was worried about that too - have seen some very 'ordinary' resprays Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shucks 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Don't you just love classy individuals who feel they have the right to destroy someone else's property. I feel your pain dude, had this happen to me when I had my evo, not cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 I was worried about that too - have seen some very 'ordinary' resprays Make sure you take it to someone with a decent repuation. If your insurance is paying then go to whoever the dealers use and never ever be happy with anything but perfection.I took the 7 back three times to get it right and even that was with the BMW recommended people. I feel for you though, my 750 had the door kicked in once on a busy street and no-one saw anything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr E34 11 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 No respect for other peoples property, same as Graffiti. They don't respect themselves so how can respect others property. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtk540 3 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 There isn't much, more annoying in my book. Cain, it's not the fact that it's not much damage but that some moron has done it in the first place and the Doc has to foot the bill. I'm sure your reaction would be different if someone had coined one of Dennis' Ferraris.... Some people today have no respect for others property.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 I think you may have read Cain statement wrongly. I think what he's trying to say is that there isnt much more annoying than mindless damage....perhaps an incorrectly placed comma there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 The comma is in the correct place. Maybe you guys need to brush up on your grammar. I'd be just as pissed off if someone had done that to our Civic. I shall re-write the sentence for the text generation. In my opinion, there isn't much that is more annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Well to be exact Cain there was no need for the comma in your original statement. Nothing wrong with my gramma, in fact I saw her the other day and she was very well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
