ime you are either the sort of person who will or the sort of person who won't

there is no middle ground and time will not make a difference

most people fall into the latter group

for example, try and find a case of someone who revenge-kills a murderer on their release from prison

you can't get much more motivation than someone killing one of your family

 

I like the cut of your jibb!

My whole career ihas been spent making spin, but cant see the wood for the trees when I matters!

And no, I am not in mktg or gvmt !!

Will have to play that one harder - guess I was too kind on the retailer after they saw the number plate!

Matt,

Really sorry to hear about what happened to your car. I've used that branch of Tesco myself and never thought it to be a location the local chavs would hang out.

If you do find you need spray work doing to your car then Little Knocks might be worth a try. They are just off Molly Millers Lane.

As for getting Tesco's to pay for the repairs. Why not, they made record profits last year of over

 

Gaddafi, you're starting to scare me!! ;-)

Agree with you tho - my gf thinks I shouldn't progress personally as its just a car.......and she also commented on the time I spent here vs taking her out!.......hmmm....

 

Hi Matt, sorry to hear about what happened you are not the first, eggs have pretty hard shells, getting one thrown at you can fecking hurts, so imagine what it does to you car. I'm afraid I can't give you any good news, especially after seeing this one;


I would really advise seeking legal help and confirming the damage with insurance before you work on doing anything yourself. Modern paints are thin and are layered in such a way as to give little to play with.

You mentioned that it hasnt breached the clearcoat, TBH it looks here as though it has. If you do end up working on it yourself I would suggest touching up the worst with some Honda touch up paint and then smoothing off the edges using wet and dry. But you will have thined out the clearcoat around these so it will never be perfect, just less obviouse. Not an easy job and one to which I am still mastering.

See how you get on the legal front and if you get no where then give me a shout and I'll see if we can make it a little less obvious.

Thanks - have used them on the gf's mx5 previously

Was concerned that on 5 panels it was kind of looking at re-spray territory!

Deff my No.1 choice if I need to venture that route

 

Shame the youth of today dont have the same thoughts.

Russ.

 

I'm just a keyboard warrior mate

Scared of my own shadow

 

Tango Man - as you have confirmed I know nothing about paint! I am now very scared - esp given ins gp & previous co car etc.

I will progress to get it done on someones insurance, and see where it goes, but failing that would love you to help - I'm v generous!

Having to work on the fact its

 

Had similar this morning.........got out of car on way to work for a paper at 06.50,to note a ruddy great big scratch accross the drivers side wing,was livid and ranting all the way into the papershop.Came out and then found that b*stards had continued along to the rear and down to the light cluster with something sharp.

Got to work moped around all morning,rang wife and had a rant.............as it hadnt been there yesterday until someone went off to Stockport and Marks and Spencers........................why oh why.

Spent afternoon doing a reasonable t cutting and lots of elbow work job so that they have more or less gone.
