Went out tonight to give the car a good clean after the wife came home from work only to find that either today or yesterday some total +insert swear word here+ had made a right mess of the rear passenger panel. Most of the white scratches will polish out I hope but just wondering how easy does the trim come off? might have a go at painting it myself? Probably go to one of the local scuff merchants at the weekend for a price though too. Cant believe it only had the thing 5 months......
Why oh why do some people think it's ok to damage others proprty and just walk away??? *sobs* :stupid:

By the looks of it most of the stuff on the body will come out with abit of effort. Please dont use t-cut though. haha
Gutted about the trim. If its like past cars its stuck on and you should be able to heat it up with hair dryer for a little bit and pull off.

Ooo not a nice surprise, shocking how people can do that and just drive off!
If you are wanting a price for a repair, I can recommend someone really good who is very reasonably priced (might even do that job for cash) in Carlisle. In fact my cars been in there all week getting sorted from when I got ran into last month. Your more than welcome to have a look at my car to see his workmanship if you want?!
Pm me if you want his details, he's not a friend or a relative etc, just someone who I always use :happy2:
