    I know.. its a sh£t world! No evidence tho... unless you get a crime number and check out the multistory CCTV

    And there's the rub. The car park has cameras but... they are inoperative! And everybody knows it too.

    Happy Friday. Off now to find the Dremel.

    :(

    As already mentioned see if they caught it on any CCTV cameras.

    Not sure why people are saying it's too difficult to repair. Fill the scratches, sand with "wet or dry" and mask surrounding area. One can of spray primer and one can of the correct colour to finish the job. Cost about £20.:j Take your time and do a good job, if you can use a Dremel, this'll be easy for you.:beer:

    True.. but i assume its metallic paint.. and will require laquer to.

    Its very difficult to obtain a good finish.

    Ok, so buy a can of laquer as well. It's the fill cap cover, will hardly show even if it's not a perfect finish, could even leave it just primed until she finds a man-who-can to finish it for her.

    Fitting a new one is time and money wasted .. it would still need painting. The scratched one will repair easily.

    At least the letters weren't foot high along the whole side of your car. Be thankful for small mercies ;)

    No operational cameras in that car park, which is why he obviously felt brave enough to stand there like a big man and scratch my car.

    In the good old days, would have just covered it with a "go faster" sticker . . . STP for example :rotfl:

    [edit] I was only joking but theres some for sale on ebay .. who'd have thought you could still get them . . .

    I know what you are saying but why did he feel the need to scratch it at all. It takes me less than 7 seconds to reverse into a parking space but he just wouldn't wait.

    I just don't understand what happens in people's lives that makes them that aggressive at 7am in the morning.

    It's worrying that someone with such clear anger management issues drives a big powerful car. If he's like that when he is parking, goodness only knows how dangerous he is when he is on the road.

    :eek:
