Dazzi Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Why? Whats the point in doing this? I just don't understand why or how someone would find this a thrill!.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Here is an idea... Get thinners remove it from the windows lights and things like that.. Get another colour of paint and do a similar effect over the top. Make the best of it, it would be unique (And I'm not taking the mick, I'd consider doing it, if they were going to write my car off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Really feel for you mate. I can't imagine why anyone would do that. Unless they had a personal grudge against you. did any other cars get vandalised, or was it just your two ? I really can't see how that would cost £4500 to sort though. the plastic parts I'm sure you could source second hand for a relatively modest cost. and rubbers can't be that expensive. I'd get an informal quote from a reputable spray shop (GVN) for both a back to metal spray, and a "same colour respray" explaining what has been done. Do you know what the paint is?

mattysupra Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 To be fair you are talking alot of money to put the car write. A full re spray, wheel refurb, all windows removed and new rubbers etc etc. Edit by Pete - Please note the rules http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=82442 Traders are companies or individuals who wish to sell or advertise non-private items or services through the forum - this includes people acting as third party agents even if they are not making any profit.

Mike As it's going through the insurance everything is replaced new so thats the reason it's so expensive I suppose. It's out of my hands but might consider buying it back and doing her up!!

CarlT67 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 sorry to see that buddy, thats bloody shocking...! When you got the quote did you take it to your insurances approved garage. If so they will do what they call a 'proper' job. Meaning on the quote things are replaced, stripped etc no matter the cost or economical sense and then totaled up at the end. This seems what they have done for you... the 4200 must include window replacement, stripping the paint back, wheel refurbishmnet etc... plus the insurance approved garages charge top money for man hours which also do not help the overall cost of the quote. I knew someone who had an accident on their rear quarter area, this at an insurance approved garage would have been a write off, however they took it to an independent garage who looked at the quote in a more economically viable way. They refurbished the wheel rather than replacing etc.... My advice therefore to you would be to get yourself a separate quote at a body shop/ professional moper who could do the same. Making the quote to help you a little more without suffering any quality of the finish. Hope you get it sorted mate and I hope that helps...!
