I went to pick my new purchase yesterday. I was amazed the condition the soarer was in so snapped the chaps hand who was selling it. Proud as punch I drove home. My street has no off road parking and was full so I had to park in side street. I went to get this morning only to find my pride and joy had been vandalised! Damage is as follows:-
Deep scratches the length of the passenger door and rear wing.
Scratches on top of every door and wing like someone has whipped it with a chain!
As you can imagine I am very annoyed. 
Would I be able to claim of my insurance policy to have the work done even though technically it has not been involved in an accident? I am fully comp insured. |

the code for the colour will be on the vin plate on the drivers side wheel arch under the bonnet. if its green the code will probably be 6M2.

After all this trouble... I have withdrawn the insurance claim. The damage is not as bad as I thought. I have invested in a good quality polisher and some cutting compound. Been over it once but will do it agin once the weather is better and it has worked a treat  |
