Gonna be at the window all night tonight I know it!!!

The other thing is I have a really nice Nissan Navara on the drive too and not a single scratch!!!

I really do hope that the dick who did it suffers in some way olong the line, I know if I had caught them it would have got messy... I had my 911 on the drive for over a year and nothing ever happened to that...

Lets hope that some CCTV cameras help deter any future attacks.

Also, does anyone know if the headlights lens is a cover or a whole unit? coz they scratched those up as well

Car will probably be off the road for 2-3 weeks and come back looking even better...

And again thanks for all your comments.....

Really sorry to hear this, when my BMW was scratched up on my drive a few years back I remember how gutted I was. Don't let this stop you enjoying your car, it'll soon be back to new.

I feel your anger and frustration, just last month had my new Q5 keyed down two panels outside my house, V8V in the garage fortunately. I already followed your thoughts and now have CCTV installed.

Hope you get your P&J back ASAP looking as good as new.

Truly feel for you guys in the UK. Seems like many of you are forced to park your beloved Astons in a driveway close to the road and therefore subject to all kinds of vandalism. If I had to do that, I wouldn't sleep at night. I doubt that more than 1 in a 100 Astons spend the night outside here in the USA.

That would be too good for this type of scum, what they need is tying to a tree, cutting their eyelids off and slicing open their bowels, then letting hungry dogs drag their guts out and eat them alive .

Perhaps you guys are fortunate enough to not live in the 'if you can't own it then ruin it for someone else mentality' which is sadly so much a part of our society.

Mean that as an observation not a dig at your own experience.

There is an element of society here that truly have no regard for anything and fear no consequences for their actions.

And it all started after banning corporal punishment in the schools. Now no respect for property or people.

It needs bringing back IMO

Hope you get the damage sorted quickly and it was only a one off.

That's disgusting behaviour. Jealousy I guess; I can't think of any other reason why someone would do that.

There is a word that shouldn't be used but entirely applicable in this case but would ban me.

Your pics make me feel sick . And no I am not being melodramatic , they really do.

Absolutely gutted for you. Hope that you get it sorted quickly and it doesn't taint your ownership too much.

I looked at your profile when you started the wheel thread and it crossed my mind then how exposed the car was being so close to the street. Take my word for it though, getting cctv is the thin end of the wedge. If you're not very careful worry will take over your life and before you know it you'll hate everything here and be on a plane abroad.

Which part of the UK are you based?

I'm based in Berkshire

I know what you mean being so close to the road, I do tuck it right up to the house, so a good 1.5 meters away from the pavement... And like I said, no one has ever touched any of my previous cars...

I have to just put this down to a one off, maybe a pi$$ed up straggler,,, God knows.... But I suppose the one thing is that it can be fixed and in a few weeks will be looing sleeker than ever!! But hope it doesnt attract more attention...

Everyone on here has hit the nail on the head... Jelous attack and cant put me off having nice stuff..

The pics I put on here werent the before pics I had in mind regards to the wheels, suspension & other bits...
