Sammy J 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) I was round at a mates house in christchurch last night and i was parked in his drive way in a pretty good neighbourhood. i woke this morning to find the front panel above the wheel kicked in in 3 spots and paint cracked and fallen off. I dont know about you guys but its completly gutting when your pride and joy gets abused by some drop kick, i have not got any funds to fix it so it will be sitting in the garage for a while.

Greg111 13 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 That's just f**king uncalled for behaivour, these people need to get a job or a missus instead of hanging around the streets in the middle of the night. A swift kick to the teeth is needed for this loser. Sorry bro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HossE36 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 It seems in the last few years these types of crimes have increased hugely, I guess its the misguided youth who didnt get their asses kicked enough when they were younger because of the smacking bill, god bless the government.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 If it's a standard BMW colour then you should be able to pick a good one up for under $150. Then it's just unbolt the old and bolt on the new. Even for someone with no skills it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
