Smile devastated...

well, woke up early this morning (after a 2am finish at work!) and didn't look the car over (obviously!).

drove to work.

just been to get my lunch and parked away from everyone (as i do).

Anyway, return to the car only to notice that *someone* had ****ing dragged the bumper of their scabby POS down the side of my car!!! look like only minor scratches on the bodywork, but the front wing has a scuff down to the metal and the wing mirror is missing some paint too!

WHY CANT PEOPLE RESPECT OTHERS PROPERTY? Arggghhh!

Anyone recommend a 'fixer' in Guildford/ Surrey area?

Can't recommend anyone, but sorry to hear this. Can you do a colour match in your work carpark to find out who it might have been?

Sorry to hear it Ben.

Like I posted on another thread, no-one has any respect for other people's property any more.

I hope they get Berlina Black flu and are really poorly!

That's just nasty....

I can't give you a personal recommendation cos I've never had any bodyshop work done in Guildford but I do know people who work at Guildford Honda, Audi & BMW - So if you don't get anywhere drop me a PM & I will ask for you.

P.S. i also hope they get Berlina Black Flu - it's fatal.

Sorry to hear.

Could be that the culprit didn't even realise. I once witnessed (and reported) a Landie Disco driver, pull out of a space and nonchalantly scrape the car alongside as he casually reversed out. 4x4 twats often aware of the sheer size of their tractors. And with the stereo turned up and diesel clatter, not even the noise alerted them.
