keyed car :(
« on: September 06, 2010, 08:14:03 pm »
super pissed off! came back from edition38 which was an amazing weekend!! (il put pics up after) I left my car at home though, and had to leave it parked on the street. came home on sunday night, this morning went out to the car and its been keyed!!  :sad1:
theyve gone to town on the 3/4 panel then scratched it all down the drivers side onto the door  :stupid:
at points there is bare metal showing. il get some pics up later.
im absolutely gutted and just want to know why theyve chosen to do it.
anyone recommend a good bodyshop in the northwest?

im gutted for you. I think its the x factor generation. People just dont seem to care about anything anymore and want everything for free. What would make someone key a great car, or any car. What thought process do these people go through. A bit of national service would sort them out. ( god i sound like my dad )

This seems to happen a lot to GTIs? It must be jealousy I reckon , after all , you wont be able to afford one whilst drawing benefits. I hope you get your car sorted soon.

Sorry to hear that mate,
Did just realise though, It is September which if I remember correctly is the bad luck month of the year for GTI owners.
Look at the pics of my car from Friday night for proof that its not a great month.
Hope you can get it sorted as quick and painlessly as possible.

I was going to say something about this but each time I've mentioned it, I've been told off for jinxing everyone so kept schtum.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

jesus! That's sickening. It's not even as though someone keyed as they were walking past. This is much more deliberate.

Hope you get it sorted mate. A good bodyshop will make you forget it ever looked like that.
