I am fuming

Some (expletive) has scratched my car. Not just a small scratch either. It goes the whole width of my boot on my rover 620. It is very deep down to metal and now sharp to the touch as well.

I have high suspicions it is 2 kids over the road from me. They were playing football on Saturday and I heard thier ball hitting things like my house. I heard a noise and them running quick sharp back to thier house looking very sus. I was washing up my lunch when they ran off. I went out side to have a look about but saw nothing. Well, I wasn't expecting them to have damaged my car. I thought thier ball may have broken a window or something similar. Speeking to my neighbour he heard a noise and went to his window and saw them running off looking sus too. I have no way of proving it but I think it was them.

If they had done it to the disco I wouldn't have been to cross as it has scratches already. Another wouldnthave been too bad, but to my rover I take alot of pride over and polish etc I am livvid.

Anyone know how to stop the rust setting in until I can wait until nicer weather to sort it out? Silicone in the groove or anything? I am rather up set.

Cant claim on insurance as car is only worth about £250 and I have £100 excess so they will prob write the car off.

I've had some success with those paint pens for emergency repairs - should work in this scenario.

I did buy one of those sets before Rover went belly up but the colour match isn't brilliant. for an area not highly visible they are alright.! How do I smooth the very rough edge though the key or stone has created?

markyd:
my pajero got done before i started off roading, 3 times the windows, windscreen door panels, roof were all done, i used the colour magic chip stick and polish, it was very effective, it does not have to be an extact match colour wise it will blend in.

Sorry to hear about this, i can understand how [!Expletive Deleted!] off you are.

I have since moved house, loverly neighbourhood :evil:

muddyjames:
This is a photo of it. Note it goes all the way to where the reflection of the tree is at the top of the photo.



things like this dont normally happen around here. The family I think is in question and if rumours are right owe 4months rent and should have moved out a month ago and process is under way to get a court order to evict them. This is a lovely close with very little trouble usualy. also another neighbour has seen another car with a scratch down the side and thinks it is new. He will talk to the cars owner soon.
