Have i upset someone who might want to do this? God only knows, i certainly dont think i have.
Seems to be a trend in Brsssstol, another chap on there said he knows someone else who had it done without warning.

Did you see the repair bill :o kin ell!

Gutting :(

Complete scum. They even did his 80 year old mothers car with paint.

Typically the police are completely and utterly useless.

As some have said I'm sure there is more to this. Jealous scum would have keyed it or something malicious. That much effort is a revenge attack. Still uncool though.

God I hope it was a revenge attack.

If it was just a drunken prank, then holy sh*t but things are going too far nowadays...

The bloke has got to have upset somebody for that to happen! You would be gutted all the same though.

I know it says that the body shop has given a 7k quote to repair, but surely that would not be able to be painted over again? You would forever be able to see the burn marks under the paint. A friend of mine had his car nitromorsed and had it repainted several times, each time you could see where the paint had been stripped off before. Almost as if the the metal panels had retained the nitromors, making the new paint feck up!

nitromors is a paint stripper.... providing you are going back to bare metal, in this case there would be no choice, you can use nitromors just fine, you must prep the metal before adding a primer however.

M@therf@ckers didn't even come out to our block of flats (15 of them!) when f@cking pickey thieves had stripped it of all copper and removables (steel water tanks etc), even though the place was chock full of evidence.

Catch the perpetrators and set them on fire IMO - police are work-dodging scum and don't do a thing :x

Ive seen this quite a few times in the last few years. I know that every now and again theres no smoke without fire but I think people would be surprised how many attacks like this really are random.

I dealt with a case where something had been poured on a brand new 57 plate evo last year and cctv caught kids of around 13/14 doing it!! Guy was a 50 year old md of a paper company and nice as pie. No obvious motive!

I just dont understand why people do things like this, a chap at work has had his brand new skoda roomster keyed on the bonnet.

Whats the point, even more so when using paint stripper they probably get a kick out of it for half an hour.
Some people must just like causing misery i hope they get caught.

I can see where that could be justified... When I see one of those monstrosities I want to hurt things... Best to vent those feelings on the cause instead of something else. :twisted:

Thats bad....
He must have done something pretty awful to deserve that, or hes been properly done over for no reason which makes the person who did it a little scrote

By the way, you wouldnt use nitromorse on a whole car, it would take forever, youd use a 20-40grit sand blaster and with interior, windows etc removd it would take around 1-2hrs to strip the car back to bare metal.562

What about the guy in Bournemouth who went around knifing tyres..?

Did Soooooooo many tyres its unreal - in one forecourt he did the entire (entyre?) garage stock - did 3 of mine, and did it repetitively for many nights on the trot before getting caught.

Did over £250,000 damage - IN TYRES...

...and he did it because: When he had been cycling down the road, a car had cut him up...

:? :o :scared: :cry: :annoy: :evil:

That reminds me, someone I have forgotten to set on fire...
