iR6 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Mate, i really feel for you. That must have been heartbreaking to watch!! Its not worth mentioning the scumbag f*%kwits who caused it, just a shame they were not in between the car and the wall!! It does look like a mess but if you can get most of the panels second hand then it should just be a bolt on and off replacement. Only the rear quarter will need bodywork. Keep your head up chap :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu37 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Thankyou mate fingers crossed she will be shining again, I just dont think I can justify fixing it and keeping it now tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joby 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Very sad that hard working people have to put up with this without any compensation, Many years ago i had a opel manta Gte that was a proper minter and loved it needles to say some chavs stole it from my wifes work and got chased by the law and burnt the clutch out amongst other damage!! They were caught and i got the car back and had to fix it at my expense and never recieved any compo as i was supposed to as they just never payed!! Good luck with yours and keep your chin up fella Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wullie 1 Posted January 9, 2012 I know exactly how you feel mate, mine got whacked by a hit and run a few weeks ago. My first impulse was to scrap it, then break it but with the usual support from this forum I am repairing it. Like you I don't know nuch about bodywork but I intend to learn as I go, just taking my time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C5 OEM 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Although the rear arch looks bad there is plenty of metal to work with and a bodyshop would be able to knock it out and skim over it, same with the door and the wing.. Steering wheels can be had for 25-50 and i`m sure people who are breaking cars should be able to sort out the other bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

somersetdub 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Absolute W@^%ers. Gutted for you. I've had cars broken into for stereos before and that's bad enough, but what the chavs have done to yours is awful. I reckon you would be able to sort it out fairly easily though, there's so many good people on this forum and you should be able to find a wing and door mirror quite easily. It looks like the worst bit is the rear arch, but that looks repairable. I suppose the biggest expense would probably be the painting, but if you could prep it yourself it wouldn't necessarily have to be too expensive. Hope you are able to get it sorted, it would be a great shame if other people's stupidity ended Corrado ownership for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted January 9, 2012 That is absolutely gutting, soo very sorry to hear this! Absolute scumbags, deserve to be shot at point blank range with a shotgun, perhaps through both kneecaps first. On the what to do front, as bad as it looks it isn't horrific and can be repaired reasonably easy by a body shop. Just needs a sand down, bit of filler and paint and it will be good as new!
