[Dan_Harris]

:tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: Sorry to create loads of threads guy but just gone out to give the car a wash and polish and what should i have greet me? Well I won't say as the pics say enough (sorry about the quality just some quick pics off my phone)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (please note however I have already thought of tracking down the culprit, tying them to a stake and re-inacting a seen from hostel)

Starting from just over the drivers wheel arch

to the passengers

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 :tsktsk: eyes out :tsktsk: Hope you can get it sorted mate :)

[Dan_Harris]

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?

[aaronabbott]

super resin polish, but the scratch looks too deep

[Dan_Harris]

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

[T22DLH]

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 :tsktsk: 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 !

[Dan_Harris]

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 :(

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

[SHAHZ]

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

[Dan_Harris]

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.

[Scorps01]

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.

[LexusIS200Sam]

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.

il PM you my number, if i think we could get away with flat polishing it then id be able to do it one night during the week at my workshop. let me know when you can get over to MK.

[Dan_Harris]

[Dan_Harris]

[dazz32]

[D Robbo]

Some people are right :tsktsk: and should be hunted down and have their faces slashed open with a key and then be gutted infront of a live audience!

[Steviewevie]

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 ! :D

[Dan_Harris]

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 :(

[norkep]

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

[Dan_Harris]

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? :P

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.
