[tdi_blu]

Feel for you mate  just really out of order some real scummy people out there,are you sure you have not pissed anyone off over the last 12 months or so just seems so random...

Gutted for oh mate, there really are some jealous feckers about!

[bobbarley]

Jealousy mate, even with a mk3!

I definitely haven't pissed anyone off, generally I keep myself to myself as its not worth the agro. But again, why would someone go out of their way to do this rather than talk to me if they had a problem. Christ even a note on the car would have been better!

I have heard from the landlord and the signs for CCTV are purely to deter potential thieves. No cameras in my building or car park whatsoever.

So now I am stuck. I honesty don't know what do do.

Originally I was going to save it and get through the MOT but that was based on on that fact the car looked ok. Now I know it's going to cost me another several hundred to get the paintwork looking good again, and that's just for paintwork, let alone the couple hundred to fix it for MOT and tax and what not due in the next 2 months.

It all seems hardly worth it now and I haven't got the money to do it all.

Bonnet and doors could be replaced with panels from a donor.

Very sorry to see this has happened to such a nice car, especially after its recent paint!

Can't believe it describes itself as a 'secure garage'....

[Diamond Hell]

It's only tin and rubber and doesn't affect the function of the car. Talk to a smart repair person maybe?

Alternatively don't bother and just get on with driving your car. I think the NATO Green idea posted on faceplank is a good idea.

You won't get a good colour match if you stick panels on from donor, it will stick out like a sore thumb, vw reds fades too easily so no 2 cars are same. More so mk1 mars pink and mk2 tornado pink but mk3's will as well.  gutted for you dude.

If you can't afford to fix it for MOT nevermind paintwork, it will have to be broken. You could MOT it and drive it scratched until you can afford to get it sprayed? i'm driving round with none existant rear arches at the moment,  just waiting for someone to scratch themselves on them and sue me!!!

I know it's only tin and rubber but it's the fact the bonnet was only recently resprayed. Not to mention it's an Anni and I've been trying to keep it original (ish). A change of colour would be fine on a non Anni.

Maybe Plastidip?

Donor car would be a no go like Leroy said. I've tried before but it's never good on red cars.
