I ve had my 00 tlp nighthawk black pearl tl for 4 days and now someone hit it with a bike Ill get pictures up as soon as i find a thread that tells me how to,, no kid or parents want to claim responsibility 250 deductable for insurance and im going to shop to get estimate on repair cost . hood, left fender, front bumper, and door got scratched down to sheet metal. broken heart needs fixin..

 

look for a bike with black paint on it. Did you report it to the police? If it was a kid it will scare the crap out of them.

 

reported to police --yeah like they give a shi+ about some kid on a bike that scratched a car on accident.. but they gave me a case # for insurance. so ill call insurance today. i still have not found a sticky for posting pics can someone help? --comp. illiterate

That or Those Bastards!

 

this sucks now i have to use my stereo install money for deductable

 

I'd look for a kid in your neibourhood with a red bike, there is a little red paint on the bumper in one of those pics, that paint will be smudged on the bike or be missing off the bike entirely.. If you really want to get into some CSI investigation I'd start there, plus there's probably not 10 red bikes in your neibourhood, you might luck out and only have one. The height of the scratches could determin if the bike was a kid's bike or a teenager's , he probably hit the car with his handlebar first (if he didn't T-bone it)


Sorry to hear about that bro...damn kids, I wish they would all just grow up.. lol

 

By looking at the pics, I don't think this was an accident. The scratches are all over. How can a bike scratch the top of the hood?

 

You look like some guy I know.

Too bad about your car. I had some weasel run his ass across my rear door wearing jeans with rivets in the back.

 

Maybe the handlebar/brake grip got the hood. If I were you I would make fliers & pass it around the neighborhood. Im sure people would know who rides a red/pink bike.

 

hey z3ro it's a new scarface

 

thew neighbors saw "certain kids" around the car but when i approached the house the parents denied the kids responsability--- hard to deny when your kid has a scraped knee and two red bikes in the garage--no eyewitnesses so cops dont give a shi+-- insurance will fix next week once my estimate comes in.

 

im originally from houston--back in tha day, now live in kansas

 

Just shoot all the kids in your neighborhood.

 

 

 

why, fsttyms, why?

 

seeing the pics that way, really depresses me more (not that i dont see them scratches EVERY MORNING ) just inform by rcpd that its not a criminal case its a civil case so well see what insurance says.

 

Why not ***EL*MAFIOSO*** Why not?

 

that's why!

 

 

 

 

maybe if i wasnt so proud of the car i would just SHARPIE it--- ohhh better yet cover the scratches with cool stickers and add 5-10 HP "i'm a genius"

 

The bumper paint should come off with a claybar and some elbow grease. At least you can save on getting that repainted.

 

well the hood and fender would cost more then 250$ so ill pay my deductable on insurance to fix it but for future reference to me ---whats a claybar? where do i find these?

 

Claybar you can get at any auto parts store. (They usually keep it behind the counter cuz people open the box and jack em.) It's basically like silly putty. You spray on some soapy water, and then slide the claybar over the paint - sorta like waxing. It'll remove tiny particles on the surface of the paint that regular cleaning won't get. Basically the grit gets removed so it's completely smooth, and then you wash and wax as normal. It's amazing.

Disclaimer: I do not encourage you to rip off your insurance company. With that said, if you know of a trusting shop, you may be able to ask them to charge the insurance to "paint the bumper," and then claybar it yourself and have them knock off the deductible. Of course, if the insurance is paying for it, I'd just get them to paint it anyways.

 

WELL .. me being one handed makes it difficult and very very exhausting just to wash by hand so ill leave everything to the insurance and body shop. so far that would be only $250 ive paid for this car. sad to see it go to a deductable instead of my soundsystem but hell cant complain it was a free car (no my daddy didnt get it for me) unless you call the government your daddy.?lol

 

...hey... i just noticed the guy taking that pic has two arms and hands!
???

 

look at how i had to take the picture i have maybe 10% use of my hand after a 10 hr. nerve reconstruction surgery -- igot some wikced scars and chicks dig scars right?

 

finnaly got it all fixed came out good and not only that but i found the little snot who did it confronted his mom-- kid admitted it, now she'll pay me my dedu ctable 250 on monday yeah. life isnt all that bad huh? ill post pics in morning

 

sacrifice the child!

 

throw him to the wolves!!

 

Make him sleep with the fishes.




...i'm serious.

 

concrete is to overpriced now a days otherwise......

 

c'mon buy him a new pair of those trendy cement shoes!
