Car park scrape

[chiefbadger]

Just done some last minute shopping in brighton and came back to the car to find a black scrape going all the way from the back of the passenger door to the rear wheel arch. No car to be seen, I'd parked as far away from everyone else as possible and still get some scumbag drive into me.

Not a single thing has touched the Trophy in a year of ownership (as of yesterday) and now it looks like I'm gonna have to get a respray.

Have tried polishing it out to no avail, I'm just hoping that some judicious use of T-Cut might work. The one saving grace is that nothing has been dented. I'll try and get some pics up and any advice on how to go about getting the marks out would be greatly appreciated.

Rubbish start to Christmas. (help)

Bloody hell, and in 2006 there will be note note with a name and number on it of course.

If there's no damage (and that will be at the extremities usually) I reckon that will all come off with some compound and maybe a mop and re-polish. Try a good valeter or friendly bodyshop. I know someone near my unit if you need someone with a light touch on a power polisher. Quite a good chance you will avoid any spraying from the pictures.

As above I think with a bit of elbow grease you will shift most of that.

Arseholes. Once upon a time people used to have some respect for the property of others! Hope you manage to remove it mate...

I know they normally do jack s**t even if your house is being burgalled but has anyone ever tried calling the Police in such a situation? Surely it's classed as leaving the scene of an accident and/or failure to correctly produce insurance details when all these complete w***ers damage cars in car parks and then bugger off without even a note?!

It's really wound me up. I did go and check with the attendent as to whether there is any CCTV, but it's just a poxy little NCP in Brighton so no joy.

Going to have a proper look at it tomorrow, but might well have to take you up on your offer Steve. Are you based Littlehampton way?

 

[Neal]

Looking at it T cut should get that off

 

[pacey]

How the hell has someone managed to do that ?

Cant have anything anymore

My valeter friend is next door to unit and premises are in Angmering (20mins max! haha)

No how you feel,
I have just had my trophy scraped by a mechanic at my local Renault dealer while doing the 12K service. They had to sparay the wing and under orange street lamp it is a totally different colour and looks terrible.
The dealer is currently in touch with Renault HQ to see what they can do. My car also had paint shield fitted and they have to pay for the paintshield agent to fly to NI to refit.
Make sure you check under orange light if you get a paint job before you pay but I would only get painted if all else fails.

I had a similar mark on my rear bumper on my 172.

It just polished out.

It's the transfer of rubber to your paint off a bump strip by the looks of it.

Looks nasty... I hope it polishes out.

:evil: most people have no respect for other people's property. I tend to park miles away from other cars but you can't always do that.

looks like a strange one as it's not at a constant height so it would rule out bumper damage, looks like a kids pram or something.

I understand your frustration - if it were mine i'd swing for them if I saw it.

Feckers that drove into me are denying the accident occured now - how the feck would i get their insurance details if they didn't give them to me after the twat reversed into me???

I swear i'm going to buy a black dockers hat, big revolver and grow a handle bar tash and go on some vigilante mission!

Did nobody else get the little accident kit from reno that i received, quite usefull really as it has a camera and details of what information to gather after an accident, stuff that you don't always remember when suffering from shock.
