They did a great job (you couldn't tell) on mine when some retard in an underground garage, here in Switzerland, intentionally and repeatedly hit my car (335d) with his delivery van's door by swinging it into my car. His door would bounce back off of my car and slam shut. He would repeat that another 2 times (there was plenty of room). He swung the door so hard each time that it made my whole car rock and it left a huge gash and dent right ahead of the rear wheel. What he and his 3 co-workers didn't know was that I was in the car at the time.
Anyway to make the long story short, I'm 6'3" and quite big, so after scaring the living shit out of him and his friends, I made him write and sign a statement, took pictures of him and the car, called his boss on the spot and let him go to change his panties.
The repair cost his company 3,500 CHF (hope he got fired) because of the dent, and of course the rear door and fender has to be repainted .
Anyway I guess I was "lucky" to be in the car but I can tell you that I have rarely felt so much rage towards another person and still wonder how I held back hurting him.
The only thing I can say is that there are some nasty and envious little people out there that just hate the fact that some might have nicer things then them. Just thinking of it still make my blood boil!
Anyway, check out the BMW. Somehow I think they will be the best as far as matching the colour and texture of the paint.
Take care and let us know how it works out. |
I don't know how you could control your rage. I've never had a car damaged by vandalism. I have had one stolen but it was a 1975 Olds Cutlass so it didn't matter too much because I got a nice insurance settlement and I was much younger and just went out and got another clunker. But this time I think i handled it much better than I thought. I was mad but not over the top. It happened so what am I going to do? it wasn't payback....I have no enemies. I do have decent insuance with $300 deductible. The appraiser wants to take off all the trim like the lower black plastic and satin aluminum piece, the door handles and gaskets, black around the wheel wells incl the mudflaps (the finally are sticking really good!! haha) and even one of the roof rails so the paint can be blended in correctly. I'm taking it to the dealer's collision shop thinking that the might be the best to fix it and match the paint. And it was looking pretty good with 3 coats of Zaino on it too. Thanks for all the replies and letting me vent. I'll keep you all posted.
