Nice of him to let you use the private car park.

I'd like to see your car after it's painted, been thinking of having some scratches sorted.

Its having a full spray apart from the rear bumper and roof which are having a good polish. It's going to be with them for just over to weeks they reckon, so i've got the pleasure of a corsa or similar to run around in....wicked.. :lol:

I tried to get a like for like but they were having none of it....The only time you can get like for like is if your in an accident and your not at fault, so the woman said.... :roll:

On the bright side my car should look like new when i get it back.......
mmm I know people who work for Nationwide as well, the Rayleigh, Essex branch... I used to work for them when they were Perrys....years back.

Lex Talionis: If they like marking cars then they should be marked in return. With a baseball bat.

Hope it's not too expensive to get fixed.

Are you saying that they are good or bad? Like i said it will be a good friend that is painting it so all should be good......I'm one of them nightmare customers that you dont really wanna deal with :lol:

If it aint perfect when it's finished it'll stay until i'm happy and i'll live with the corsa for bit longer........

Yeah good about the car park, we both said why didn't we think of it sooner, but you dont expect this sh*t to happen......

I'll post some pics when it's been painted, before and after then you can all praise or slate the job :lol: ......


@ S4TAN, I've been told it's going to be around the 2 - 3k mark for the whole job, wont know for sure until they start stripping it...Might need new trims/mouldings etc....?

I'd expect a thorough job to cost that much.

Dudes, all I have to say is we seem to be seeing so much more of this kinda stuff. I've had this, and worse stuff, done to ALL the cars I've owned including the S4!

Unfortunately, being realistic, there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop the feckers!!

S4-99, good luck with the paint job. You not tempted to change colour ;) A nice pearl white maybe? :thumbs:
01 RS4, Milltek, Dahlback Racing rears, RS6 fronts and a few bits to be added.

Also, as I hate driving, my toy to play with - a Honda CBR F Sport

Yeah my no claims is fine, but my insurace has gone up by £100 because of this claim.....They sting you for protected no claims, then you have to pay an excess on your no claims when you claim, then your insurance goes up because you've claimed..... :? Insurance has got you from every angle.......

Nice one Alps, not tempted to change colour though. I like my Kingfisher Blue, not many S4's about in that colour. Any excuse for a pic :lol: , this is before the damage.....
