Title: Vandalism...
Post by: mrDMH on 20 September 2011, 17:01
Some thingy keyed every panel of my beautiful gti today while parked in work public car park.

Going to need a full body respray as it's every panel and very deep ., I'm gutted  :(

I've reported it to the Police and there is CCTV on the car park, some I hoping that something will come from that. Either way a full respray is going to be required :(

I'm not holding out for a result really.

Things start playing on your mind.. do I spend 2k on a respray just for it to happen the next day... you know what I mean/ ;/

How bad is it? Any chance it could be polished out by an expert? I don't understand how people can be so spiteful  :sick:

All the scratches are too deep to be polished out from initial inspections, been quoted 1.7k + VAT for a full respray.. urgh :(


How many people have that kind of money lying around?!

Ive been quoted £175 to £300 for a quarter panel after it was keyed up here but Im unsure what to do. Will it look the same? I dont know.


I have a feeling its an exs boyfriend that done it but have zero proof.

It makes me sick to hear about the complete tossers that key cars.  Hope you get it all sorted and fingers crossed the CCTV will show who done it and you can deliver some justice.
