    Easy way to price a run of the mill car that has been keyed is £500 per panel. Aston Martin though? To replicate the seven layers of paint and hand polishing each of them get, it could go up to £550.

    Where are you getting this information that Aston Martin has seven layers of paint and hand polish? It's utter nonsense like I said its the same for any other car. You're just paying the premium tax for being posh

    if I had a £100k db7 I would want it done by Austin martin and not some back street job

    What I meant was I would want the insurance job done by AM and not some back street garage which repairs all makes

    It's the same for alloy wheels. Whether it's from ford, Vauxhall, Aston Martin or a Ferrari the alloy is exactly the same just a difference in size. You pay extra for the wheel because of the premium tax

    More bolleaux I'm afraid.

    I't rather obvious you've never owned a top marque performance car.

    Too much 'premium tax' I expect.

    Surely the answer is easy - take this to the Police they have facial recognition software - by the way this so and so is acting and his actions he must already be known to the Police, and hope he gets everything he deserves as well as paying up.

    The scum already have too much handed to them on a plate, but their heads still cannot cope with someone else having something they can only dream of.


    Lets face it people like they guy who did it was robbed to bail out people who can afford cars like that.

    Nobody ever mentions that, although Corbyn hinted at it recently.


    The same people who voted for serial liar and fraudster Ian Duncan Smith.
