GMballistic Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 ^^ What he said. Probably £150-£200 tops at a decent body shop to get the rear bumper sprayed. Sorry to see some tw*t did that to your beautiful Zed btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofner Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Do you think they parked up behind then pulled out too close, even though there was thousands of spaces around me!! the black marks right under the bumper next to the exhaust are tyre marks? Right under the car, Could have knackered the exhaust, have been out today but all seems ok, is shite.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofner Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 I thought that about the low marks, possible reverse then, reverse with a half turn? Low bumper? F......ing try to look after the 350 by being a loner but maybe best to join the crowd as sainsburys said cctv only on car park at front of store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Any recommendations for good body shop? East mids Get a mobile "dent away" company to come and look at it first sure they can do it for about £60 to £80 at your house, so you don't loose the car for a few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofner Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 We need parking monitors, i would give them a quid a time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofner Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Cannot feel a dent, lot of blue paint, would a clay bar then wax help to fade it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEMAN Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Feel for you mate..........like you say you do your best to keep the Z scuff and dent free, but it always seems to draw the dumb, mindless couldn't give a s--t drivers to it. Like others have said a couple of hundreds tops for repair.......or like WhackyWill said, maybe get quote from dent/chip removal guys. They charge so much per panel and looks spot on. You can even take your car to them and they do it while you wait ( a few hours) but least you get car back that day........either way all the best and you get your great Z back to pristine A.S.A.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thats a weird one. It's remarkably low and an odd shape. I can't even imagine what kind of vehicle could have caused it or how as the scrapes are vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 bottom line - this is criminal damage............why do people think they can do it and then walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 bottom line - this is criminal damage............why do people think they can do it and then walk away No it's not criminal damage , that's nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofner Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Same here, cannot work out how it marked as is, was twenty mins tops in shop, do you think a long line of trolleys got out of control of staff? Or bin lorry etc with low bumper / loading step? Sorry to keep asking questions but would dent away firm patch the paint as well?

Damage is defined under The Criminal damage Act 1971, which contiues to say that it is for the court to decide, however,it is the primary legislation for pursuing acts of damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross27 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 You might be lucky with that. Some 2000 grit wet and dry, then a machine polish will sort that right out i think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thats a weird one. It's remarkably low and an odd shape. I can't even imagine what kind of vehicle could have caused it or how as the scrapes are vertical. That is very low for another car to cause those vertical scrapes so far down - makes me wonder whether it was a small-wheeled motor scooter has done that damage - just mentioning that in case there is cctv showing the culprit exiting the car park with a damaged mudguard? and yes it is criminal damage/failing to stop after an accident (or not leaving a note) - if cctv evidence were available I would hope police would follow up that one Just so bloody annoying, especially when you took the trouble to park in a place to try and avoid the hooligans.
