brucie-bonus Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Parked the car is the staff car park, I also park it across the middle of 2 spaces for this very reason (car park is not very busy) and yet some muppet has still managed to hit my car. Went to speak CCTV and apparently there is no camera covering the staff car park, just the customer one:wtf: think I will be parking my car else where from now now on. Was not a happy chappy when I this and Im not very bodywork minded so I have no idea if its an easy fix:( Doesnt look as though there is much damage done though, chipped and cracked paint work, some of its gone down to whatever is under neath the paint work but that seems to be it.

Animal Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hell fire, that looks quite nasty. I it red paint I can see in the damage? If so, I'd be having a wander around the car park tomorrow to look for matching scrapes on a red car. If it's the staff car park, is it solely used by your company? I'd be tempted to speak to your boss about it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucie-bonus Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Probably shouldn't have parked accross 2 spaces!! Pet hate of mine. Hahahaha, yeah that thought had crossed my mind, but its happened to me before with my other car which is why I started doing it in the first place! Im gonna keep my eyes peeled, some customers do use the car park as they're to lazy to walk the extra distance so I may never find the culprit. Most people know me at work because of the car so I would hope it wouldnt be any of my co-workers! Spoke to the boss but as there is no camera over the car park, and so no proof it happened today while it was parked there, they cant and wont help.

Lbm Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Ouch! Nasty mate, such a shame there are so many tossers around that just dont give a fcuk. Feel for you mate To be fair the driver was probably p1ssed- so didn't see it. Hopefully it won't cost a fortune to fix up- if you're not going through your insurance that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hell fire, that looks quite nasty. Is it red paint I can see in the damage? If so, I'd be having a wander around the car park tomorrow to look for matching scrapes on a red car. Might take a few days of checking, but if you find the culprit, it'll be well worth it!! You can always lie and say you have them on CCTV doing it, might help a confession! As for a repair, you'll probably need the whole bumper spraying! Maybe worse if it needs blending!

jim Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Gutted for you mate, it's bad craic when someone doesn't have the decency to own up to their mistake. On the bright side, it looks like it's the bumper only, you should be able to get it repaired and painted for £150 - £200...could've been across the wing and bumper which would have doubled the price...little consolation I expect though.

I'd be tempted to speak to your boss about it, too. Maybe it was his boss' car! Just to make a point of not parking across two spaces. Sorry to see this, and if its all in the plastic, it shouldn't take too much to fix. A decent body shop should be able to do that reasonably cheaply.

Scott Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 looks like post office red to me ! I was going to say something along those lines. By the looks of where the scraping is surely it must have been a very high vehicle? Possibly reversed into it? Looks too high to be a front bumper or anything like that.
