I am fuming.
I think my self to take alot more care and pride in my car than Joe bloggs.
Yet for the second time whilst my car has been parked up someone has driven into it!
Germans and Carparks, I dont know where to start :fighting:
Was doing a bit of shopping with the missus, return to the car to a local woman telling me something about my car.
The way that they are here, I natrually assumed she was trying to blame me for something.
Untill she walked around the front of my car and pointed....
Was parked on an end bay so only 1 side could be subject to trolley & door opening retards. Was well within the bay she just wasnt watching what she was doing! :fighting: :fighting:

iPhone pics dont really show all the scratches to be honest :ashamed:
Taking it to Seat in the morning for a quote for repair, if I can get time off work :sick:
-
:sad1: :sad1:
-
Ripped the splitter out of the bottom of the bumper and head light wobbling.
Her insurance company said I can have a hire car or REVO money compensation
Im not leaving my car in a supermarket carpark again!

We were watching some silly bint in a car on the cctv today at work. The car park is on a slight slope and she was reversing out of a space, down the slope and just carried on rolling into a car behind her, which was one of the nurses who ran out sharpish! Her excuse was she couldnt get it into first!!! Use the fooking brake or hand-brake!! Hope the damage isnt too expensive!!

:sad1:
It's big and red, how TF do they not see it Mike?!
Sorry to hear fella :confused:
-
Big shiny red car! I don't get it!
-
At least you know who did it Mike, it's much worse when they just drive off. Hope you get it sorted quickly.
Regards,
John

Would I be within my rights to have the bonnet and wings painted so as not to leave any color mis match?
Keano has plenty of pics from the detail a couple of weeks ago showing fully matching paint...
-
Gutted for you mate :sad1:

This is true.
That's what my missus said, it's not making me feel better at the minute though, just trying to calm down
-
Ah hell, Mike, that's awful. But yes, at least you got someone who coughed to the deed. I can't help but think that honesty like that is very rare these days. Really bad news, but she'll fix.
And remember; this isn't a problem, it's an opportunity to consider mods, or at least the chance to get rid of all those autobahn stonechips :smiley:
In Chinese, the word "crisis" is the same as "opportunity". Crisatunity, I believe!
-
Sorry to hear this buddy :fighting:
Still.....it can be repaired and could have been alot worse :wink:
-
Some B@stard did this to my FR when it was about a month old. Was equally raging. Left no note either and it was in my works car park.
-
Off to the dealership for an estimate, wish me luck!
-
Harsh Mike, very harsh indeed :sad1:. I'd be asking her for the cash to sort it or at least most of it.
-
Right....
My german is alright and the service managers english was okay.
They whipped the splitter off to make it safe to drive. The woman who hit me gave me a contact card of her insurance company, the VW / Seat guy rang them, it seems they can do upto 3k of repairs without any major hassle.
While on the ramps I noticed oil seal on intercooler hose had a drip of oil so will be asking for that fixed at my expense along with driveshaft oilseal.
I struggled to ask / make my point that it must be a perfect match to the wings and bumper. I must take a translator on Monday, if I can get the time off work

The headlight was wobbly, the headlight washer is damaged the splitter has pulled clean out of the bottom of the bumper leaving holes and then the scratches.
I really hope they dont mind blowing most of the front over as I dont want any mis match!
Its definately having a new bumper
-
Hope it gets sorted quickly, and more importantly...properly!
-
and more importantly...properly!
Me too :sad1: :sad1:
-
Hope they sort it all out for you and real quick..as others have said atleast she stuck around and not drive off.
-
Bless her :sad1: :sad1:

Apparently ready tomorrow night. I won't be taking her home if I'm not happy with the paint, if they haven't done an alignment check or replaced oil seal in intercooler hose :(
Hope it's sunny tommorow so any paint cock ups will stand out...
