Not just a stolen spoiler.....

[mattcogg1981]

This post continues from my what I thought was just a stolen spoiler however as I pulled up outside my house and saw my front bonnet I saw a huge dent on the front. At a closer look some twat has obviously ran over my car

There is a huge dent in the bonnet followed by several dents in the roof polished off by a missing spoiler as I am sure came off as they slid down the back of my car! Charming! Got a quote today and it was priced at £1200. It needs a lot of work because some idiot thought my car was a playground. Insurance said they would cover it but with 250 excess I am not happy! Funniest of all it was Friday the 13th when it happened. I have already looked into getting a cupra spoiler instead any other possible mods to make the most of my misfortune!

one thing to consider is that i believe claiming for vandalism will increase your premium a fair bit, pehaps more so than the same cost accident. (dependant on details etc)
thats certainly the experience of a friend of mine.

Annoying really as my car was not parked anywhere near my house! It was about 50 miles away!

why dont you just scam the insurance ? dont say someone ran over it say it was some sort of accident eg you parked it near some scaffolding and someone dropped a big pole on it, my friend had a punto mk 2 looked a bit like me the chap did his name even sounded very simular. anyways when this lad got crashed into it made 2 very small dints on his rear bumper which we bnoth thought they would be mended and made do, so my friend started kicking **** out his back bumper to make sure ghe got a new one it worked ! why dont you jus say some scaffolding fell on your car ? and twat it with a bit of scaffolding ?

Apparently if the car doesn't move then it is not theft it is accidental damage! The car is dented enough to go through insurance I will get a new spoiler and bonnet so no problems there!
