Wing Mirrors and Side Skirts stolen *COVENTRY*

Hooded · 01-15-2018, 01:04 PM

F***ing scumbags!

As already said, this is an insurance claim at 2.5k damage. You'll be less out of pocket claiming through insurance even with the claim on there for the next 5 years.

The only other option is to source second hand replacement oem parts as cheap as you can and fit them yourself or find someone who will do it for you. I would start by looking for the correct parts on eBay. Good luck

How does Adrian Flux reduce NCD by 3-4 years and add 30-40%?

I guess there is some peace of mind with protected NCB after all.

Although it's the norm to lose just 2 years NCD from a single claim it gets more complicated when the insurance company allows more than the standard max 5 years NCD. Many reduce you down to 3 years NCD (5 minus 2 for the claim) even if you have much more than the standard maximum 5 years NCD

So no one deducted 4 years.
It seems you have some very generous offers and help so hopefully a claim will not be needed.

It does raise the question though, if you were considering not claiming for a £2.5k claim, when would you?

JustChris · 01-15-2018, 02:17 PM

FFS ridiculous

SteveChester · 01-15-2018, 02:41 PM

I hope that you find who did it and literally smash fuck out of them.

Can't bloody believe anyone would go to that extreme, looks like they have just ripped it off and probably will be of no use to them...

That's pure and utter vandalism, feel for you mate that's just horrible.

Must be selling the carbon mirror caps. Seems a lot of risk/effort for something that can't be worth more than 50 quid.

You wouldnt have thought so. How to you get away with a set of side skirts? One under each arm lol

Basschism · 01-15-2018, 05:13 PM

Truly gutted to see this kind of thing going on. Really do feel for you. It's really just an all too common scene in this shithole world we live in.

I don't blame the police as their hands are tied regarding resources etc. The only ones to blame are scumbags that do it and the idiots who buy knocked off gear creating a need.

I hope whatever path you choose to get your pride and joy sorted does not hurt your pocket too much.

And also... massive shout to UKF30 for giving stuff away to help the guy out. You sir are a legend👌

AndyEssex330d · 01-15-2018, 05:18 PM

Sorry about this OP it's shite and the scumbags need locking up!

However what kind of world do we live in where claiming on insurance isn't the way forward because a lack of no claims acts as a penalty for using what the insurance is designed for. It's fucking ridiculous.

I had two cars stolen in 2014 and my renewals are still thousands per year because of them.

If I found the c**ts id be on a murder charge.

Probably pulled alongside in a Transit to shield them from passers by

Also try these part finders:

https://www.breakeryard.com/partfinder
https://www.breakerlink.com/?code_no...B#.Wl1EqiSnyfA

They both use a network of Breakers to find your parts, and will send you prices for comparison.
Have used in the past

Rbrown · 01-16-2018, 12:02 AM

I’m really sorry to hear about this. Really annoys me what some people think is acceptable!!!

I hope you get it all sorted.

On a positive note - very kind offer from UKF30. Well done!!!
