Arrrr........that really sucks!

But getting a re-cond standard turbo isn't too expensive these days, but the paint job will be painful!

Ouch - if it was just a surface scratch through the clearcoat, I was going to offer to try to rectify it (I have a DA polisher with all the pads and polishes)

However, if it's gone through the colour coat, the only way to repair it is with paint

to quote pulp fiction...its almost worth them doing it so you can catch them.....

Seriously unlucky. What (insert expletive here) are they? Why cause damage just for the sake of it?

i no the feeling.
it makes you sick, livid, angry, Pi$$ed off ect.

Just DONT punch the door like i did...

Lucky i had Nigels door to replace them with, but its just a sick thing to do to a man's car.

as i always said, if they do it, it will be worth it as long as i catch them.
then i can call the police and let the deal with the issue and not do any thing out of line.
laugh

get some pics up mate, see how bad this really is... frown

I hate hearing about things like this, the turbo, that's just a bit of bad luck but to have the car keyed... B******S!

Where abouts in Sheffield are you mate? I know a few good painters who will do a good job at sensible money if it helps.
