akyakapotter Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) ok so this must have happened after i got home from work last night or some time today. Only noticed it after i had been out and parked the other way round. Came out to go to the gym to be greated by this not happy at all as im 95% sure its one of the bastard busses that goes up and down my road. As the get so close to the cars and it also has red paint on it same colour as the busses. Have sent them an email and getting my mother to phone them tomorrow as id end up loosing my temper with them (gym session was good thoughso much anger lol) Means ive got to find the money to repair it before japfest and my insurance is due at the end of the month.

aaddzz123 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Wankers!!! Thye come round my street too and they're always knocking over ballards and running kids over (ok, they only ran one kid over about 15 years ago... But it still happened!)... Busses should stick to main roads only. If you don't drive, its not hard to walk 3 minutes to the nearest main road ffs.... Rattle can it mate. If you lived close I'd paint it for free if you got the paint. Devons a bit too far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 haha ill get it sorted ill get some money out the bastards lol. Snapped the indicator so just on the hunt for one of them. I want a black one looks like its a grey one painted black. Its not the first car they have hit done my silver escort big blue scratches right down the whole side. Yeah mate should be on main roads only there not busses any more there bloody coaches and when they meet in my road they cant get past each other its a joke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Gutted Glad it's not too bad though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sorry to see this, least it's not too bad though!£150 to paint the bumper or am I missing something here? Does the bonnet/wing require any work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 well its £160 + VAT apparently. How much should i be looking at paying ?? nope nothing wrong with anything else apart from the indicator is mashed its not to bad but it pissed me off i park as close to the curb as possible so the dont get close to my car but they still do and now have hit it the red paint from the bus is a bit of a give away bet it was a polish driver they seam to not give a shit at all down here there will be white paint on the bus so just going to keep on at them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 mate £160 for a bumper fix is rediculous. You can get a 2nd hand bumper in MINT condition for that... I wouldn't charge more than £100 for a full bumper respray to factory standard lol. I did my mates not long back (one on the left) and didn't charge him a penny.That required smoothing too lol! Do some research mate. I'm sure a local friend has some decent skills and will do it for at least half that price. Bodyshops can be expensive and some guy in his garage can be just as good ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 As an rough guide i paid 250 for bonnet wings and bumper with lip on my old v when all the cruise parts where sprayed black. That was a slightly discounted rate as i send alot of people his way but still 160+vat is heavy imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I paid 150 for a front bumper respray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan-11 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thats unlucky mate, shouldnt be more than £80 to paint a bumper corner, £150 + vat is a rip off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Good luck getting money out of them mateI had a bus smash into my 1st car and push it 10ft down the road I had two witnesses and still took 18 months to get any money from them they tried every trick in the book. I got the last laugh they had to pay £10k in hire car charges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
