Brutal....

[toffee_pie]

came back to my car this evening and saw this,

brutal - was fine on the 4th as i had tracking done and actually had a photo from that side of the car, any idea on what could have caused this or a likely cost to fix?

Pictures wont open ...

Bummer!! sorry to see that.........

Could it have been a cycle pedal?

[is200 Newbie]

I was thinking bike pedal if that's the only damage - was it parked where a bike could get got that close?

[toffee_pie]

how could a bike pedal have got that close? seems like a huge scuff for a bike pedal. I have my own parking bay and that side is facing a wall. Never happened at work, only other place I have been to is sainsburys underground park, and never seen Bikes there at all.

I might have parked on a street in the last week against a kerb, its possible I guess (however remote) for a bike to lose balance and fall against the car while I was out.

Is this a big bill I looking at?

What about a motor cycle? Mike.

Can't light sand and spray brush take away that ?

I would say it would cost about a 100 from a local.

DIY you need air compressor, air brush, paint and lacquer.

One of these days I am going to buy a compressor and give it a go.

way too much trouble for me!, I sent an enquiry to a smart repair place in hampshire. Its down to the metal frame so it will need sanding, primer and base coat. Hopefully no filler, might escape. Lucky the door escaped.

I see cross drilled rotors... is that ISF?

If not then why cross drill why not stock ?

I am tempted to get ISF style body kit but someone said to me to earn more and get a real ISF... :)

[toffee_pie]

nah, MTEC just. This is a 250 just. The MTEC and yellowstuff pads I have offer way better stopping power over OEM.

Could it have been that cat you were trying to get rid off?

[toffee_pie]

I got this fixed, eventually.

after

cost was a mere £60, plus the scuff decal (£12 from Lexus). Only bad thing was the interior and exterior was ruined from body shop dust, but I can live with that. I didn't pay for a valet.
