Another Line gets Keyed

[CWest]

Oh well bound to happen sooner or later.

My R34 got keyed last night, funny thing was it was out of my sight for only about 5 mins whilst I was getting some Ribena from a Coles.

Hehe most expensive Ribena ever.

For those who want to know it was the coles near Brighton Le Sands. Funny how these things never happen at any coles ive been to in the Nth Shore.

Its surprising how such a small thing that at most took 5 seconds will probably cost me the same amount as working for 2-3 days.

Hehe well thats a total of 2 break-ins and 1 time keyed, thats got to be a record of some kind right.

Anyways there doesnt seem to be much on the forums about what people have done to fix deep scratches on their cars without taking it to a spray painter, so I've just called ChipsAway and see if they are any good.

Ill keep you guys posted to see if this company is any good and also how much it will cost me.

[ferni]

That sucks, you're taking it way to well! where's all the swear words?

I've been warned away from chipsaway, if you want a proper job only way is respray

[CWest]

Well no point getting angry over something I have no control over.

I mean no point really, its not like I'll ever catch the lowlife and it wont fix my problem anyway.

Hmm well the scratch is pretty deep but I've had some good reports about ChipsAway before so it wont hurt to see what their quote is.

Guess I dont think I can justify a few grand for something so small.

Either way ill have a before and after shot of any work done and the cost of the whole operation.

Itll be nice for people to have a reference as to what options they have if their car gets damaged by *ucking scum (hehe theres your swearing).

Anyway Guys ill keep you posted.

lol, first day i got my line i got it keyed. for scratches all along the rear quarter panel. hafnt gotten it fixed. now i never park my car with the 'P' plates up. Ive also heard that veilside bumpers tend to get that front lip smashed off too.

WHAT THE...? what f#$king lowlife would key a skyline??? good luck with the repair dude and here's hoping this dropkick gets caught in the act one day and appropriately "rehabilitated"...

...Brighton Le Sands...

that's your answer. Unless you drive a WRX or a Corolla in that area keep an eye on your car. Stupid morons there have no respect for other people's property.

[silver gts-t]

this could of happened anywhere,

just wrong place, wrong time when a dcik that takes pleasure scratching people cars was walking past

[shonen]

Cwest...your probably going to have to get a respray...i got keyed not along ago as well..

$500 for two panels....passenger door and rear quarter....

hehe this might sound a bit off but....get some saliva and rub it on the scratch..if it goes away temporarily while the saliva is on it..then you can get it buffed out if not...then your gonna have to go for a respray.

I am sympathising- some lovely person has used my front bar to help with their parking- shame they had a tow bar. I also had another nice person (probably a relative) open their door into my passengers'.

Remind me again why I am always so careful when parking?

[red900ss]

Yeah it just pisses you off doesn't it.

I washed the family truckster today only to find about 4 new marks, now every panel has a blemish I think. :uhh:

[CWest]

Hehe i got buff on the weekend by trying to buff the scratch out but it wouldnt go.

Shonen where did u get your panels done ? 500 for 2 panels is pretty good, ive only got 1 panel to do and ive been quoted 450 or so. Thanks in advance.

[GTR-80Y]

Keyed twice, every panel including roof

Badged twice, now no badges left

Veilside front bar pushed onto front wheels by considerate parker.

When i say i know ho u feel....I KNOW HOW U FEEL! lol

[shonen]

haha i havent got them done yet....its not going to rust so im gonna leave it for awhile...

cause im thinking of a full respray in the future.....

but they were quoted from M & K Auto Refinish and Spraypainting in South Windsor.
