4 Days And Someone Keyed It!

[Beckie]

Last Saturday I drove to Lincoln from Kent (approx 170 miles to get there!) to buy an Ignis Sport. After having it back for 4 days I arrived home from work to find someone had keyed my car twice!!

My boyfriend who was driving it at the time and had come to pick me up from work hadn't even noticed!!! Luckily his mate owns a paint shop so will sort the door out for me.

Anyway once the door is sorted i'm gonna start working on the car (well not me personally, my boyfriend is). I've got 16 speedline comp 2's to go on and a few other bits but was wondering whether anybody had found any websites for buying bits outside the UK and if it was any cheaper? £200.00 for the front grille seems a bit excessive to me or is that the norm?

I can't seem to find information on a supercharger for it either?

bummer you cant have anything nice. I'd be really interested if you find a supercharger though, are you thinking of getting bits from the zr2 or zrz or whatever its called? I think of links to its website but it is in Switzerland

the ZR2 is a turbocharger as oposed to a supercharger (meaning its powered by the engine rather than the exhaust) you will have to get a universal one if u want it from the UK. A custom turbo job including all the engine bay modification etc will cost around 1500-3000 depending on the equipmenet etc. Insurance will also be hit. I would only supercharge or turbocharge it if i planned to have the vehicle for a long time. In 5 years I'll be able to afford one of the new Focus RSs or an EVO X anyway so i dont see the point in undertaking a MASSIVE project like that...

The point? bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pop po po burble bang oooooooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! But do I spend it on that or on ICE?

Can't believe someone keyed it!!!

Most likely a Citroen C2 vtr driver who realises they have a piece of over priced french tripe.

Who are these morons? I'd be gutted too. Hope the scratches come out OK.

Hopefully should be okay, just don't wanna get the door sorted to find it's been keyed again. My boyfriend has a pulsar gti-r and someone keyed that aswell, we're not sure if it's kids or a cranky neighbour as apparently it's happened to a few other people where we live!!

My boyfriend is the one that's got all the ideas for my car! He's got another pulsar that he's had in the garage for nearly a year turning it in to a drag car! He's got nitrous and all sorts for it but he's now paying an interest in my car, i don't mind though - it keeps him out of mischeive!!!
