got to my car last night and found my FTO has been keyed 
roof and passenger rear three quarter
in the street where my new house is so have decided fix it and sell up, can't afford keep on fixing it if it happens again. had thought should be ok as nice mr2 and prelude are in the street too.
street is near a pub so dunno if was drunken attack or kids

jealousy and the fact that they see u have done some hard work and think "aye lets just piss him off by taking a key down his car" then they swagger up the road thinking "am so solid" and talk about it the whole nite.. chavs

Yeah my standard cars are the ones that have been vandalised, White BMW Coupe had a hammer worked into the roof and the BMW Convertible had the rear screen slashed Its so annoying as you kno how hard you have worked to pay for the car and you know how hard you will have to work to pay for the repairs

Jaffa how deep is the scratch, there is some good stuff out there that can get rid of fine key marks.

Nah don't spend any of my loan on my cars, thats for books, software and beer.
I have bought and sold a fair few cars and made quite a bit of money on them, thats how i keep upgrading.
