As I said I haven't knowingly annoyed anyone, i.e no arguments with anyone or anything like that.
It don't think it was random, you'd need to know my car was there.
The insurance will be sending someone out to do a mobile estimate on my car.
I doubt they will catch the feckers, purchase the car back if a write-off and have it wrapped.It don't think it was random, you'd need to know my car was there.

Gutted for you. 
I'd be doubtful about respraying it personally - I've often heard that once there's stripper/brakefluid/etc on paint and on the metal, it'll never be quite right ever again even if you take it down to bare metal. It'd be easier to reshell it, and that's not worth it.
Take it back to standard, keep the bits, buy a new project.

OP, you've clearly pissed somebody off, my friend.
I assure you sir, you do not have to piss anyone off for someone to get jealous.OP, you've clearly pissed somebody off, my friend.
Any 'marginal' overtakes recently OP?
With all respect to the OP and his car, in terms of value, most of the UK know that an MX-5 is not a particularly expensive car and is unlikely to incite much jealously.
Admiration from petrolheads? Yes.
Jealously? No.
Really sorry it happened OP. I've been the recipient of a couple of 'keyings' and had a convertiable roof slashed, so I know the feeling.
That is terrible, awful, christ, why???
You must have pissed someone off I think, I can't see why someone would go to the effort of getting that acid stuff just because they are jealous.
Have you done anything as simple as cut someone up while driving or given someone a hand gesture / shake of head / biped your horn for their bad driving?
Did you overtake anyone? It could be a mentalist like that who followed you home because you'd overtaken them.
Remember, the person who has done this, doesn't think like a normal person, so what has caused them to do it may be so insignificant you simply can't comprehend.
As someone as already said, I hope they have a terrible life, and karma does it stuff.
I also like the idea of putting a wrap on it, how much would that cost, and start taking it to track days.

Sorry to see those pics OP, I know how you feel. Same thing happened to me last year, absolutely fuming i was. Never found out who or why, but as some people are saying, they may come back. They didnt on mine, but maybe because i left it as is and didnt bother with the insurance re-spray route, I went for the shabbiest looking car in town route instead. The world is full of idiotic scum who dont give a damn about other peoples possession .. Grrr getting angry again now

Keep an eye out.
The people who did it will be back to see how it looks.
Watch out for a car driving past, slowing down and driving off again. Trust me, they'll be back.
a million times this! i know someone who lives in a nice place near to me who had this happen (to an old 206!), they set up a permanent cctv camera (to be fair in plain view above the front bay window) and the culprits were spotted at the early hours of the morning on two occasions, the first time on thier own and the second time showing a fellow hoodlum!The people who did it will be back to see how it looks.

all boiled down to the fact that the daughter was a bit of a trollop and it was a revenge attack by an x.
Anyway, its a s
t thing to have to go through, dont let it stress you out too much! get it wrapped!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
