... Well this is what awaited me when I returned to me car last night after it was parked up the main street.




So...how much is this going to cost me then???

Do you reckon I could push it out myself?

Just one bloody thing after another with Belano

Bloody hell mate, that sucks! Sorry I can't offer any help as to costs, but hope you manage to get something sorted!

Nick

it is repairable yes but pushing it out yourself will still look crap. I bet most bodyshops will want to put a new rear quarter on it that's where its going to be big money.

Oh ! That's bad! I feel for you mate better get to a body shop fr a quote, they're guna want to paint alot of the car to blend the repair in.

There's a mint Porto shell up for sale soon

Thanks guys, I'm gutted.

According to ePER, rear quarter panel is £300!
Door is also slightly damaged, but can live with that (for now)

Think I'll have a hunt for a second hand rear quarter, whatever colour!

Is it worth taking this to an insurance claim? Knowing book prices on Coops they'll probably class this as a write-off

I'm so pissed off right now

interested...

Who by?

Contact R1DAN if your interested

It's goiing for a bargin price

Thats just terrible Eks - sorry to see - really feel for you mate......They should be shot at dawn.....

Main Street where?

Gutted to see this matey, get it to a bodyshop and see what gets said I'm sure you can salvage it though it might hurt the wallet!

It was parked up in a little town crammed full of chavs and little old grannies. Don't know which team to blame!

Think I'm just going have to live with it, can't afford anything at the moment.

It hasn't quite hit me what's occured yet. Just angry, sure the tears will come later :-(

Don't worry matey we're all getting a bit unlucky lately. My manifold's blowing and turbo's going and she's hesitating slightly when coming on the throttle. Not feeling the love for the Sprinty atm!

Looks like a straight forward repair and far, far cheaper to repair than to replace that panel.

Get a quote from any decent bodyshop, porto isn't the hardest colour to blend either.

Agree with the above,that's repairable alright,the stress of a whole rear quater stitching in no way.

oh god
Any chance of CCTV from the council?
Hope this gets sorted out.
Can't believe some people.

I like you guys - those are answers I was hoping for



We don't know what this CCTV thing is you speak of in this fair district, the council would ask the local witch if she could look back in time and seee if she saw anything.

im gutted for you fella,i was left some damage to my car a couple of months back they are complete

You call that a ding? That's luxury compared to dings in the past!

<northern accent> "IN MAH DAY, you'd drive down t'local shop and you'd be lucky to coom back with t'car at all" </northern accent>



Hope you get it sorted easily and it isnt a expensive job.

Truly gutted for you mate if you drove a little micra im pretty sure this would never happen, horrible how jealousy manifests itself, and my mates laugh at me for being para about where i park on a night out.....

Gutted for you Eks

That sucks bigtime, anything you can do about it on insurance?

Looks like theyve given it a good booting? WHY? this gets me so mad :(:( cant believe nobody tried to stop them

looks as though someone pissed up has clipped you, definately worth reporting, the police might already know who it was.

Upon closer inspection (second picture) i think you may be right must have made a real mess of their car too!

Unlucky Eks. Feel for you mate

I suspect the pissed up theory is the correct one.

We had a local country show that day, lots of people drinking all day long and town was busy as hell with everyone in the pubs.

Thanks for your kind words people. I'm still just at a loss as to what to do

I don't think an insurance claim would amount to anything as being a youngish driver my excess is £500, so barely worth it really.

Gutted for you Eks. Really upsets me when someone can do this and drive off.

Gutted for you, had a sick feeling looking at that (your car / wheels are very similar to mine).

They must have been wasted to make that sort of mess, and totally immoral not to leave their details (I'm guessing worried about being breathalysed - but surely they could have left them and then buggered off!?)

Hope you get it sorted ok on the insurance, make sure you choose the bodyshop, not them though!
