dukest 0 Posted June 30, 2008 ... seemed to want to have a go at getting into the car last night/today and has done this to my passenger door :bad-words: : 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf30062008672.jpg[/attachment:3jllxzdg] 30062008673.jpg[/attachment:3jllxzdg] the door handle still works/locks although a bit loose now, but am obviously seriously pissed off about the hole in the metalwork where the f*cker has stuck his screwdriver or whatever in there. quite annoyed the alarm didn't go off but i guess if it was sensitive to everything it would go off all the time.. :sad: can someone tell me how much it would cost to get this fixed properly? i want to know whether its worth claiming on insurance and maybe getting a few other bits smartened up too.. cheers John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted June 30, 2008 w*****s why do that to someones car, they wouldn't like it if you stuck something into there mother, and wiggled that around would they. :bad-words: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted June 30, 2008 ^^^ PMSL. Do VW make armour plates for handles like they do for Mk2s? Sounds like winnage to me. Sorry for the damage though dukest, if you need some rough early doors in black just holla at yo boy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Nasty. Can't believe someone would try that with an alarmed car. :shrug: I dunno if its worth claiming on insurance, depends on your excess and policy really, though as no-one was caught it could harm your no claims. I feel your pain John. But it could have been a lot worse with some of the scrotes round here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted June 30, 2008 cheers guys, and no Karl, i'm sure they wouldn't! :D have got 11 years protected no claims or something so hopefully claiming wouldn't cost too much for next year but do need to check my excess - would serve them right if they had to pay out though, making up for the extra £70 they charged me for going 100 miles over my 5000 mileage limit.. :nono: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 30, 2008 Bad news. I feel for you. Am sorry but I can't add anything helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Like Judith I have no advice to give, but very sorry to see this. I was just admiring (the pass side) photo I took of your C yesterday as well :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Bad news indeed jon :( sorry to see this, and after such a great day yesterday too! Kin typical. dont think they do the armour door plates for them either btw. Hope you get it sorted soon though. I know a very good/fast body shop if you need it doing soon but a bit of a trip from london. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted June 30, 2008 thanks, of all things to happen i guess its far from the worst, but you cant help wishing stupid things, like: i've got a spare passenger window so why didn't they just break that?! guess they'd have gone in the other side though in that case :D does anyone know what happens with the keys in this situation, can they take the barrel and put it in a new handle? i reeeally dont want 2 different keys.. would rather delock that side.

Toad 0 Posted June 30, 2008 You can swap the lock barrels between handles. Sorry to see this mate :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yeti 0 Posted June 30, 2008 sh1t john, little b*stards! at least they didnt get in, similar thing happened to my friends 306 last week, they smashed the glovebox up and scratched all the dash! :( with a hole in the door like that it will deffo need welding but it looks repairable, if you can put up with it i'd imagine they could do a localised repair but you will probably see a blend :( i really hope you get it repaired though dude!

n3p 3 Posted July 1, 2008 nooo! gutted for you mate :( I'd be livid if it were mine.. Gets me thinking though, my car has a clifford G5 which blips a really bright blue LED every 2 seconds when the car is parked. imo it just draws more attention to the car in dark places! Maybe there is a way to switch it off..I just havent found it! Good luck with sorting this out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted July 1, 2008 if its any help John, i have a passenger side door from my brother grey corrado that you can purchase mate. karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted July 1, 2008 thanks karl, let me see what the local bodyshop guy says and then i'll try to decide what the best option is... will get back to you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted July 1, 2008 You must be gutted. I guess it could have been worse but doubt if that is much consolation to you. Best of luck getting it all sorted. When I had my prang last year I felt quite depressed until it had been completely fixed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Scrotes... Looks like they thought it was a Mk2/3 golf doing that! Yeah a good bodyshop will patch that up though. There's a good painter body guy out Watford area if I could only remmember his name at the moment! ... Gutted for you John, remember what it felt like when the scumball did mine last year too (rear 1/4 window with a fist) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyDave 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Gutted for you John. Just been looking through my pics from the National Day and your C was looking rather fine. As a few have said already, in a few weeks she'll be good as new with some nice fresh paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
