Sparky Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 It appears it wasn't enough the first time. Some arse has driven into the rear drivers-side bumper and wheel arch on my car. The same side that cost £2,000 to get repaired last month. I think I'm going to get rid of the car now. It's costing me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Bloody hell Sparky. That's terrible mate Were you in the car this time when it happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat1 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 You're having some fun these days aren't you? Bad news mate, hope you got the sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 No, I had parked up at 8am, and someone arrived at 10am and said that they saw I had damage. I wasn't in the car at the time. They've left their bumper all over mine, and scrapped the wheel arch and rear bumper panel (before it goes down to the GmbH panel), so it's the metal bumper, not the plastic one.

Sparky Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yeah, but my wallet was talking to me this morning saying "enough is enough". I have to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Get some pics up and we can see if there's a cheaper way of fixing it! Maybe a quick spray job will hide it enough for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Oh noooooo, not again. That is bad news mate. Any cctv where you park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 What is it about people not being able to drive. Sorry to hear about this Sparky. Someone reversed into the bonnet of mine putting a nice healthy dint into it. I have left it and it doesn't bother me, its one of the upsides to having a company car. I think that people who take more than 5 attempts to pass their test shouldn't be allowed to drive. Am sure it wouldn't be a popular move but this and repeated 5 yearly driving test might help keep standards up a little. Hope it all works out ok mate.

Milo Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Can you not claim Sparky? There comes a time when you have to bite the bullet, after all that's what you pay them the money for year after year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 There was CCTV, but it's time-lapse and jumps past the time when cars arrive - the cameras rotate 270 degrees too, so misses 4 cars arriving. The one that is parked next to mine has no damage to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can figure out the paint colour from anything left on your car that might be useful too. Even have a scout round the car park, see if anyones parked in a corner with the damaged end tucked out of sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yeah tried that mate. No car has any red paint marks on it - the colour left on mine is black - but like black plastic, rather than paint. Will have another look tomorrow.

Ari Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hmmm... if it's a work car park at least the perp must be on the premises. You want us to send Chav in...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiefox Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Jeeez Sparky what fecking bad luck. People are such gits. They would have known they had done it but just driven off. Shooting is too good for them. Sorry to hear about it, hope you can get it sorted soon. Don't buy a BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
