Laguna Seca Blue M3 - Subframe woes?

Recommended Posts

Yes it's covered up at the moment at my parents. The Clubby has been moved to a top secret location for the time being lol. "Luckily" they only got it on the M.

Had a call from the police this afternoon, more cars reported in the area with the same. I think 4 of us got done.

wtf. Sorry to here about that mate, hope it gets sorted. :(

Seen someones car which had acid poured on it, pisstake.

This is what annoys me. Why damage other peoples property, especially when they have worked hard to get it.

Some people just need a good smack in the head, to make some of there brain cells to work for once. Idiots :mad:

Least you can rule out at being the only one targeted, Absolute scum bags though. People like that shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air.

Horrible bastards, no doubt someone who has no understanding of rewarding your own hard graft with nice things.

What paint is it mate out of interest? I'm sure a decent bodyshop could make good of it and avoid having to make any claims...

There's a seat local to me with white gloss over it, been like it for months, first thought was 'who's he pissed off' but it clearly happens to good folk too. :(

I've put word around that there's a reward for any info so hopefully something comes back from that. I don't think the police will be much use unfortunately (not their fault, there's very little they can go on).

My parents have just dropped it at the bodyshop and the guy reckons he can sort the paintwork for £60! Going to run up there after work and see what he's saying. I'm dubious but we'll see. He wont be touching the plastics for that price (mainly headlight lenses) but I can do that myself one afternoon with a bit of 2000 grit wet and dry. Will update at 6.

So, the gory photos I know you all want! :lol:http://imgur.com/a/6aWLT

A lot of the paint has come off with some panel wipes he's got which I'm pretty impressed with. He's going to have to flat and polish the bonnet though as it's marked the lacquer. It's strange it's not done it on the rest of the car though, just the bonnet. I'm not sure if that's something to do with it being aluminium?

He's already managed to get the headlights sorted and got it all off the windows. All in all, it could have been a lot worse. I wont be getting the car back at my house until we've got some more security up though, even if it's just CCTV.

Sounds like it will get sorted fairly easy mate, which is great news.

But what c**t does that to somebody elses property for no reason?

Doesnt make it any better but the paint isnt as bad as I imagined.

I imagined like someone had got a full can of cream dulux and poured it all over starting at the top. Looks like someone has ran past flicking paint brush around it.

Glad its coming off alright though. Good flat and polish and you'll never know.

Yes I think my initial 'poured' may have been a little over dramatic. I'd just seen the car and was in a bit of a foul temper as you can imagine! :lol:

I found this lying next to it so I can only assume they filled a condom with paint and lobbed it at the car.

Now to try and find another clear bra. Daz, where did you get your bits from?

Estoril blue ;) Agreed - An E36 M3 Coupe in Estoril makes me happy!! Or even a clubsport 330 TBH.

Gaz just read what happened. Gutted to hear that, hope the waste of space that did this get's whatever is coming.

As for your repairs, seems you might be very lucky and got away with a lot of it. Does the bonnet have a dent on it, or is it just the lighting? looks like a dent on the buldge.

Anyway, look on the bright side - it could have been worse.

Unfortunately I imagine this will turn in to a pub story for the little s**ts that did it and that they'll never get caught. I can only hope in a few years time when they get their own cars they'll realise how monumentally dickish what they did was.

I'd not actually noticed that but it does look like it! I'll be sure to check it when I go and collect it. Good spot :thumbsup:
