Gutted for you, some people are just scum!

I hope you get it sorted quickly and well done for not letting it get in your head.

Gutted for you buddy.
The wing could be easily fixed could it not? The bonnet might be harder to come by?

What a sh***y thing to do!!

cheers guys for the support

The wing possibly mate - silver is a bitch to match so was hoping to just get a bolt on part - i might see if my bodyshop can just repaint the bonnet as it is on a different light angle to the rest of the car so should be less noticable once painted

That is out of order mate. What would make someone do that i just can't fathom.
I can't see why anyone would wilfully damage someones car, it's not like that could have been accidental.
As for bonnets there are 3 silver ones on ebay but they are not cheap 300-450.
Hope you can get it sorted out soon

thanks mate , me either - karma should hopefully do its work though i guesss.

Thinking bonnet wise it might be just worth getting some PDR done & filled & sprayed

A good body shop shouldn't have to many problems. Your right silver is the hardest colour to match though.

so sorry to see this. Can't quite be sure if it's a softy from the pictures, is the roof ok if it is?

Another plus 1 on cctv, although the owners of the unit may be suspiciously reluctant to show you but it may just be young pr1cks looking for a 'rush'.

Before buying any parts I would consider giving the car a full clay bar and polish, I suspect a detailed armed with a machine polisher and some heavier cutting polish may be able to rid of the damage and save you some money.

Vile whatever you decide to do and again I'm sorry this has happened to you

What a totally crap thing to do to someone else's property, I would defo check the area for cctv. Why should you have to pay out for what some fucktard has done, cctv!. This is where a dash cam may have helped.
Where was this by the way, just so I don't happen to park there by mistake, hope you get it sorted soon.

Horrible, so sorry for you.
Do you really think its someone linked to the unit? I wouldn't have resorted to this but if it was my unit and I was this way inclined I probably still wouldn't have done it. I would be worried about reprisals etc, after all they don't know who you are and how your going to react.

I would go down the Police/CCTV route, at least you may get some answers as to who/what actually happened (but maybe not a conviction).

Sorry to read this. Got my E92 Coupe keyed a few years back, really deep - from front headlight to rear. Hope you get it sorted swiftly.

I'm not trying to justify what happened in this case but this should serve as a reminder to be careful where you park and not assume it's ok as it's convenient for yourself , the op has admitted he's possibly blocked entry to someone's work place and maybe caused the skip truck driver a wasted journey .
Its very possible by parking there and causing an obstruction the op has caught someone at the end of their tether and ended up on the receiving end of a lot of built up frustration .
Like I said at the start , I'm not looking to cause an argument , but I've had to deal with inconsiderate parking numerous times when I had a builders yard in Durham , and it does get the better of you eventually , I ended moving a van with my forklift , then telling the owner I had no problem physically fighting him in the following argument .
