liam1 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 took the cover off yesterday to give it a bit of a clean and found damage to the drivers wing,car hasnt moved for a few weeks only thing i can think has caused it was the council grass cutting mover,midweek the guy was round cutting the grass by the car i have included a pic off where it is parked. http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/supradent008.jpg http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/supradent007.jpg http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/supradent006.jpg http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/supradent005.jpg http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq58/123mustang2009/shogunmod006-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Looks about the right height for a ride on. Also looks like it should push/pull out ok. The paint doesnt look to be cracked or damaged so might be really lucky with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 That won't be a difficult fix for a decent body shop. Should pretty much just pop back out hopefully. We have just had almost identical damage taken out of our Celica and it cost £250. Car is defensively parked aswell, I would be furious..!! H.

Has Havard said i be furious if that happened to me and the fact you have to pay for someone else's fault. Hope it be cheap to repair and fix.

alex2jz Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 That's nasty. What a tool the grass cutter had to be to damage someone cars like that. Even though it looks bad, i don't think the fix is going to be that expensive, even if you need another front wing, those come by very cheap.

JasonR24 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 There are some right scum out there mate. Sorry this happened. I bet if you'd put his kids head near that curb your car would have no damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Ring the council and complain mate. South Tyneside council paid to remove the dents in my civic door when I drove past a mower who went over a brick and sprayed the car like a shotgun. I thought I wasn't going to get anywhere with them but it was really straight forward. The car was repaired within 48 hours. Got nothing to loose.

Abz Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 rang them saturday mate they are going to look into it and get back to me monday fingers crossed they pay for the damage. Take some pictures if you can of where they cut the grass (to show that it went passed that area). Gutting, at least they could have had the decency to leave you a note!!

SarahJon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'd be so angry!! Hopefully the council will sort it out - best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I was amazed when they fixed mine. I was expecting a battle that never happened. They just said soz and fixed it. All I had to do was confirm the time and date I drove past the mower and take the car down to the industrial estate behind Hebburn baths so the council could take a look at it. Sausage bosh!

Jord Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Glad to hear the council are going to pay for the damages, still not very nice to have happen though. Makes me angry how people can be so careless with other people's property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The council have a bodyshop they use when things like this happen"???? Bloody hell, how bad are these council muppets?? Gutted for you mate. Can you not get a lend of some trade plates to take it to the garage? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It's not really a body shop the council use when "things like this happen" it just a body shop thats in the next unit to where the mowers are stored. It was a long time ago when they repaired my civic but they were very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
