whilst on my break to day i noticed a red mini pull up next to mine with two blokes in it, they sat there for a while looking at my mini but didn't get out of the car so i left them to it and went back to work. When i came out of work my front drivers side arch has been partly ripped off! ( only one bolt left)  it might not have been the blokes but it looks like some one has tried to knick it as theres no evidence of it being hit by another car etc. some how i have to try fix it because i cant afford the £250 for a new set (genuine ) + getting them sprayed. theres just no respect for other peoples property, i hope who ever did that today gets their car damaged in some way. |

Gutted for you LJ. I've never understood why fellow Mini fanatics would damage someone elses pride and joy.  You always hear of someone having bits stolen off their Mini's, even at shows etc. Damned pondlife. |

scum.... anything noticable about the red mini, we can keep an eye out for it.. not really just looked like a standard Sprite/Mayfair, as said it might not have been them but thats who im putting my money on as people know how much genuine S/pack arches are worth. just been out to give it a better look and theres some weird scratches on the arch (wich certainly wernt there before) posibly from a ring  and some damage to the paint on the A panel |

shame you didnt catch the person and explained to them that by damaging your car youll have to damage them, an eye for an eye and all that...
telling them that before or after you twunt them round the head with a crooklock is up to you of course.
