the joys of vandalism!

[beetroot]

i was havin a lovely day yesterday till i returned to my car (a hour after checking it) to discover someone had kindly left me a nice big pebble and a smashed front passenger window! nothing was taken (as there was nothing to take) but not too annoyed cos my car is still here but ho hum it was something i could do without! :rolleyes: im gettin it fixed today by the RAC for 56 quid, (insurance wanted 60)
anybody know of any cheaper glass fitting services as iam skint? (other than the scrap yard?)

Seems to be the week for it, two of our cars have been bumped and no details left this week. Grrrr.

Ring round the windscreen places in your local yellow pages for a few quotes they often vary dramatically. I had quotes ranging from £263 to £75 for my windscreen. You can guess which one I went for! :D

Yes if I ever catch who did it I will give them a mouthful of this :rage: :rage::censored: then :shoot: them

On a lighter note, we are on the look out for a new rear passenger door now for the Rover 214, not sure what the actual colour it is, except its blue. So if anyone spots one on ebay, or in a scrapyard around South Yorkshire area we would be grateful if you could let us know.

Sorry to hear the vandals have been at your car this week as well Beetroot. :(

Grrrr :rage: You were unlucky it was just a pebble - Rich gained a nice ornamental concrete duck when someone deliberately put a nasty 'quack' in his window...

I agree with E_T_V - prices seem to vary hugely. However, can I ask why not go to a scrappy? You'll probably get a replacement for about £10-15 and it's not too much of a job to fit it. Go on - you know you want to! That approach also has the added bonus of you being able to rust-proof your door while the door card is off.... (assuming you've not done so already)

Good luck

As I said in one of my last signatures, "Welcome to Salford, where the finest of building materials are carefully placed inside your car via closed windows, free of charge."

I can sympathise with you, as dad's Astra had the windscreen and two side door windows stoved in, and the windscreen again, this time accompanied by the demolition of the front house window.

It really does get my angry, and I just hope for the sake of the vandal that nobody tries it with one of my Maestros.

:shoot: :rage: :censored: :mad: :nonono:

There doesn't seem to be a great amount of Maestros in scrapyards in this area, but there is one on Langley Road South if you know the Agecroft area, Beetroot.
