gaz1 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 a little peeved because i got home and spotted a dent in the door, it looks like someone shot it with a ball bearing about MM diameter, so i just checked CCTV and this little lad riding "i would guess his dads bike" fell of it and left me a nice dent:blink: wtf he was doing on my drive i don,t know, its the kid from around the corner but can plainly see it was an accident:rolleyes: so just knocked 2 grand off the price of the car as i cannot be arsed to get it done:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 That's a tough one, if it were me I would probably just suck it up, but you could try explaining it to his dad & see if he's willing to go halfs. At least it was an accident, goes to show the kids round your way aren't going out their way to damage your car Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 That's a fair ding - pop over and see the father and see what he has to say. Like you said before, the child shouldn't have been on your drive in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel it would be a waste of a perfect setup! go with the swap or keep your car. Just take into account the cost of a decent setup.

benkei Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 You should definately go round to see the kid and his dad and explain what's happened. Show the video evidence if he doesn't belive you. I'd expect the kid to at least have the decency to come round and appologise. Get some repair quotes on the door and ask them for a decent sum to go towards the repair. Will at least make up for some of the money it's devaluated your car by.
