Car Keyed at the Weekend!
« on: 21 November 2011, 17:07 »
Right along the drivers side, along the full length of the car from the wing, door, to the back panel. Keyed right into the metal.

Gutted, but what can I do about it, nothing.  :angry:

£550+VAT to get fixed.

Welcome back Kev although not in good circumstances.
Like has been said what about your insurance? I was surprised to read when I renewed my daughters the other day that vandalism claims wouldn't affect your NCB. I suppose it depends what your voluntary and compulsory excess is set at.

Not sure, but not around my own area. I was visiting relatives etc all in the one day so it could have happened at a number of places. Didnt even notice till next day until the rain hit it.

Thanks guys for your thoughts.

£350 excess on my insurance so will have to pay that of course. Will lose 2 years from no claims so down from 17 years to 15.

Bad luck and hope it gets sorted to your satifaction by a decent bodyshop. £550 seems pretty cheap considering they'll have to spray the full length of the car. I suppose it's cheaper in Glasgow.

At least you got a set of new Virgin Shadows. Not many of either around.

£550+VAT was our price for cash, I'm pretty sure when they go through the insurance that they will bump the price up for them. What that price will be, I dont think we'll ever know.

Are the Monza's getting rare ?
