Keyed up

[Octopaulie]

After leaving work the other night I walk to the car to find that( a soon to have serious health problems)chav or like minded type of person has done a fantastic job and trying to redo my paint job I really like the way they dug something deep into the rear wing and dragging it down towards the front end of the car and it was nice to see that even though they lost their grip half way through not to mess up their work that kindly started again just behind the point they dropped what they used to carry on the job kids ah I blame the parents.

Ok so basicaly some little S**t has done a proper job on ruining my car on one side so can anyone point me in the right direction and any really good places to get a total respray that wont rip me off just coz I drive something fancy I am in the rainham essex area but would travel all most anywhere to get what I need done the trouble is mine is a very rare coloure called rouge mandarin and have tried to get the colour before when I wanted my stone chips done but ended up giving up thinking I will do a full respray after this year but due to this kind hearted monster who thought he would help kick my arse into gear to get it done sooner I now cant live with my car looking that bad

also sorry for the light hearted story at the start but as you can imagin I am steaming and jokeing it off is the only way I am not gonna do time when I find them.

Many thanks
Paul

sorry to here that story Paul. That is just the sickest sh*t that can happen to a person. ( if only you could catch them doing it hey? ). I would help you dig the grave.
As for the body work i can vouch personally for "surface and design" in Blackpool ( All ex TVR guys ). I have a unusual colour that no one could touch down here in lowestoft ( through no lack of trying may i add.)
It was a long trek but worth it to get the job done right. Give them a ring....

I have not used either but two TVR bodyshop specialists near to you are: PR Woods in Southend, by all accounts Phil is a decent chap, or Austec down at Gatwick. There may be others that I don't know about.

Where are you in Rainham, I run my green Chim into Dagenham regularly but rarely see another Tiv.

Ill start mixing the concrete.... you choose a bridge to throw em off if u catch them....


seriously this is not an isolated incident you cant leave any car out these days im scared to take my eyes off mine people have no respect so they deserve to be treated a million times worse


hope you get it sorted would it be wise to claim on insurance ive got my policy protected so if anything did happen wouldnt lose too much

It's not all bad news went to a pub thursday night and a real petrol head venue car park full of a variety of fast cars.
Scoobys,evo's,ferrrari,odd aston,porche,boy racers,1 TVR etc
Guess what got the attention
In that environment you know your cars safe but does worry me parked up in a area im not familiar with this car creates alot of interest.
Good and bad.
Hopefully you can claim on your insurance.

Ah! I've just looked at your occupation and can pretty much guess where you are. I'll look out for you.
I use Tesco's a fair bit for filling up with 99.

I am sorry to hear that some scumbag has done that to your car, I can imagine how upset you are

Sorry to hijack...........

Now that is an unusual job - really fancied becoming a herpetologist in my early teens, always had an interest.....

Shame you couldnt catch the ass**les who did that to your tiv......really gets to me whenever I hear about things like this, happened to a car I once owned (not a tiv)....never found out who they were, blood boils!!!!!
