also continues to my o/s rear lights but couldn't get a decent pic

Dan mate sorry to see another Lex been damaged hope you find who did it and rip there eyes out Hope you can get it sorted mate

Tell me about it Chris, can't believe it! Going to give it a good wash and polish and see how it comes up , any ideas on scratch removal?

super resin polish, but the scratch looks too deep

fast ordered a kit called Quixx hopefully it gets to me in time

rub it with 1500 wet and dry paper but not to hard, then machine polish it with farecla cutting compound. or take it to a body shop and ask them if they would manage to polish it.

it looks like its just the laquer thats scratched, it hasn't went through to the paint.

Complete & utter no words can really describe these scum who take pleasure in trying to wreck your car that you painstakingly saved up for over a great amount of time sacrificing other items to go that extra mile for a " Lex "
wish you all the best in finding these morons mate !

from the looks of things it doesn't appear to be a keying, just a careless individual who's just brushed past, it hasnt gone completely through the metal. Hopefully my repair kit will come before JAE and i'l be able to get it looking close to new

dan mate, il be up the stadium tonight. il take a look and give you my opinion as im a automotive refinisher.

Sorry to see this, i think Pete had the same sort of problem with that car too

gutted for ya mate, looks like it may have been a kids bike going past if its not a key

SHAHZ you hit the nail on the head i think there mate,

Sam didn't see you up MK tonight, let me know when your next about and i'l come see you so you can have a look.

Gutted for you Dan, i thought these things only happened to me, but it goes to show there are some jealous people about everywhere. I dont think its a kids bike as there will be dents too and no kid will go the whole length of the car before realising what hes done/doing, its mindless jealous idiots who have no regard for another persons property.

Hope you get it sorted soon Dan..

I know mate really close to JAE and this is the lsat thing you need ....cool looking lex aswell....you will always find on LOC really helpfull and friendly people...

[b][i]Some people are right and should be hunted down and have their faces slashed open with a key and then be gutted infront of a live audience! [/i][/b]

Sorry to see that some moron has done this to your car Dan, but what a great response from fellow LOC members here offering to help you out !

yeh I'm really happy, the car will be going to Paul (norkep) to be sorted out, and shall be better than new ready for JAE , although this does mean the HID conversion is going to have to wait until after JAE i think

We're just one big happy family on here Dan, glad to help Sir

You've seen mine so I know the feeling when some scrot scratches your pride and joy

First night that i've slept without my Lex sat outside to greet me in the morning, took me 2 hours to get to sleep. Should i consult a doctor?

Don't get me started, or I'll rant all day.

Hope you get this sorted and I hope the little **** responsible gets violated in the most painful and disgusting way imaginable.

Good news folks, received a phone call from a friend who knows who's responsible for my car! And the story checks out, only thing is the person that did it did not have a motive to do so, but they used a clipper lighter and rolled it down 4panels. Ohhh I can't wait

Nice one mate,

Put a photo advert in the local paper letting people know what he/she does to people's cars in their spare time?

that's actually not a bad idea, can't see the paper going for it though! I checked out the progress on the repairs tonight and i'm mightily impressed, at JAE we can have a game of spot the scratch

sorry to hear about your car, anyone who does this kina thing should be keyed themselfs. i feel a man hunt starting

gutted for you mate , hope you get it sorted soon

Car now sorted guys many thanks to Norkep and Kelvin for fixing this in impossible times! For those at JAE we shall play a game of spot the scratch will be interesting to see how many people that don't know of my incident notice

Yay for nice LOC people helping you out !
