God dammit
« on: 31 May 2007, 18:57 »
hey,

Had my car parked at college today as usual, parked up at 9am ... finished college at four and was left to find my car keyed along both sides (and i mean from the headlight to tail light) and and two big dents in the drivers door  :angry: :cry:

As mentioned in another thread she is pretty faded so i was hoping to get a respray after i have worked during the summer. thing is they have keyed a good 1-2mm thick so im obviously going to have to get a full re-spray .... I know prices will vary but if i was to do all the prep work how much am i looking at roughly? Just need to know how hard i need to work over the summer ...

cheers  :laugh:

Find out who did it, and then key there face!

If you did all the prep work on your car, you would be looking at £600 upwards for a respray, dependant on quality, paint used and, of course, access to 'mates rates'  :wink:

most spray shops hate pre-prepped cars as they are not generally finished to paint ready standard.
i just had a quote for both doors and rear 1/4's on mine with me removing arches and lights etc - £650.
I imagine you would be in the £1500 - £2500 area.
But try and find out who keyed yours and make them pay for it... or follow them home and burn down their house while they're asleep :smiley:

pikey barstewards! someone keyed my old rover (now my brothers car) on christmas eve, keyed the word "C U Next Tuesday" in the bonnet, on a black car so stuck out like a sore thumb.

I'd ask if the college has CCTV?

Then hammer pencils up their nostrils.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

hey guys thanks for the replies,

went to the front desk of the college (would have got more of a response from a brick wall) they said there isnt cctv over the car park ... ummm wtf? and that there is a sign saying the college insn responsible for any loss or damage to property in the car park.

My dad's mate used to be a mechanic so he said he'd sort me out ... but i need to buy the paint and prepare the car for the full respray  :smiley:

Just have a quick question,

my car is down as having LA3G - Classic Red but all of the other red golfs i have seen have LY3D - Tornado Red ... how come mine is different? She is a 1990 Golf Driver ... just wondering if it the GTI's that got sprayed Tornado Red?

thanks  :drool:
