Max69vk Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) Got home after a sh*t day at work had 5 minutes to myself & then was back out again to install some new equipment at a friends bar (no rest for the wicked!), for some reason I decided to throw my tools in the car by the passenger side & I see one major key scratch running front to back down the car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> Some little f*ckers had done a double pass right down the passenger side & not content with that they had then just added a few vertical scratches for good measure! The most annoying thing is that Im certain I heard the c**ts doing it the night before when I was trying to get to sleep. Luckily they didnt manage to get through the paint, although they buggered the laquer coat. Plenty of cutting paste & lots of rubbing, most of of it is out but you can still see it in the light. I swear I got so angry it was lucky I never caught them doing it or I would have been tempted to do a burn out on their heads!

Tigz™ Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sorry to hear that mate.Same thing happend to me a couple of years back, both doors bonnet and a front wing.Could have killed them as they all need painting style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 A couple of the only things Im taking from this is that they didn't actually break anything & if I do need paintwork doing, dark met grey is an easy colour to blend (doing silver on yours must have been an absolute b*tch!).

Max69vk Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Could you not have another 'random act of vandalism' style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whistle:" border="0" alt="whistle.gif" /> on the other body panels & then go through the insurance for a full respray? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I see your point style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Gotta say I love the Lupo front bumpers style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> They sit so much lower than the Arosa ones + they're smoother, none of the stupid fake moulded bump strips.

Tigz™ Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thats a Rieger one.The Lupo standard bumper sits higher than the standard Arosa bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" /> Having one of those mornings, bumper looks familiar now as I wanted to mould the top 25% of the Arosa bumper to the top of that one for the Lupo. Too much hassle though so I just want to get the standard ones smoothed. I remember looking at a post about Carters TDI & Im certain he said something about having Reiger bumpers on it but I cant them listed anywhere.

It just adds insult to injury when you actually heard them doing it. They really are little shitbags!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Having a look at a couple of pics I think you're right. All I need to do now is get hold of a front & rear bumper & I can get cracking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
