Default HELP - I have just had my car Keyed!!!!!

What a shit day this has turned into.

Went into Kingston for lunch, parked at the Bishop Car Park, returned to find that all of my passenger side and boot has been keyed

Why do these idiots do this? What do they achieve from it? Oh look there is a nice long scratch on that lovely sports car, it looks so much nicer with that on!

Now the help part please, can anyone recommend a bodyshop or dealership with a good one. This is my baby and I want it back perfect. Any ideas what sort of cost I am looking at?

God I feel shit, what a dampner on my day

Anthony

Anthony,

Really sorry to hear this, castration would be to lenient for these bastards.

Simmo, LB and myself always use S.E. Ison and Son, Ebberns Road, Hemel Hempstead. They are a small family business, really friendly and do a fantastic job. I realise this is a treck for you but he opens on a Saturday until 11:00 hrs.and if you decided to make the trip up please don't hesitate to PM myself or Simmo.

Regards

Ken

Sh1t Anthony - I'm so sorry to hear that.

I have had mine keyed twice in the past, so really feel for you. I would second kennys in recommending Ison & Son. They did a top job on mine went it went in, and took an awful lot of care and attention to ensure it was as good as new.

Hope you get it sorted ok.

When someone rear ended me I used the Reading Honda recommended body shop in / near Maidenhead. They are used to Hondas and the job was very good IMHO.

There you go - you now have a choice.

Ba$tards like these are the scum of the earth

Like Travolta said in Pulp Fiction - "it would be worth him doing it, just so I could catch him doing it"

Hope they get a terminal disease soon

God I hate reading sh!t like this.

I feel for you mate. Some people just don`t understand. We`re not w&nkers, not tw*ts, we`re people that give society a bit of cash to use and then hope to get a little back in return. Owning an S is not cheap. We all know this and cnuts that do this should be stripped from society.

Good luck getting it fixed.
