General Panda vandalised. N E 1 have spares?

[DanL]

Aaaarrrgh!

I need help!

Some sh*t destroyed all the lights on my car last night. Every single one! I can't beleive it. I can't drive Panda like this, it's really screwed me over...

I need lights... I'm looking for 2 new Headlamp units, and 2 rear light units. I tried a place in town and they quoted me 140 quid then told me that they weren't being made anymore and they couldn't get them. I live in Plymouth, does anyone know of a good scrappie to try round here? Or does anyone have any lights I can buy off them? The front ones need totally replacing, all the adjustment screws are smashed in but the back ones just need a new plastic panel on if thats even possible. Also does anyone have a plastic radiator grille? It's a 1994 panda btw.

I spend time and money trying to get the car looking respectful and stuff like this happens, it's really testing sometimes. It makes me so angry and sad that someone would go to so much effort to destroy my car.

Hi Dan

I have spare back lights I'm sure, and possibly a grille. Am away at the mo but will be able to check when we're back tomorrow. You can have them for the price of the postage (am in Liverpool, a bit far). Sorry to see what they did to your car.

Oh no, sick fecks! The car does look great appart from the lights though. Wish I could help, I had a set of tail lights but my dad convinced me to leave them in a panda we sold on. AAARRG, kicking myself now.

Hope you get it all sorted, any chance a camera over looks your car is there? Get the buggers for it if you can! I had a night vision security camera watching my car at my last house. Dodgy area that was.

Also, there is a tail light on ebay but its for an early mk1 panda and also a left hand drive panda too. Just so you know ,as the advert description is a bit dodgy!

Good luck, i am sure you have come to the right place for help!

Sorry to see what has happened to your car.
Whilst you are concentrating on the lights, please do not leave that puncture on the tailgate untreated.
Rgds.

Sorry to see whats happened. It make me (and everyone else on here) sick! I can't help unfortunatly, but hope someone can.

Plymouth probably isn't anywhere near it (my georgraphy is rubbish) but Bridges Scrapyard in Pease Pottage has a Panda and it still had all its lights when we finished with it last month.

Jon.

poor little panda did they just pick on him or was other cars in the street also done?

 

[ben]

Sorry to see that

Have they also tagged it "Fizz" on the back, or was that your styling from before?

 

[panda-sport]

Sorry to hear your bad news

:nono: Ben, you realy should know that the Fizz is a limited edition Panda!

 

[Nuova500]

Thats weird vandalism, like they really wanted to cause lots of grief to your car. Its not random like normal, have you upset anyone local?
Where are you located btw? Really feel for you, its just awful.

 

[greenbomber69]

[Sprox]

Really??! Maybe it's the photo then, but that doesn't look like an official type logo - it's almost the same colour as the car!

 

[pandafan]

I'm certain that I have the rear lights ... and I might have the front lights.
I am completely out of grills though. I sent the last two to a chap in ... ITALY !

 

[DanL]

Hi everyone, thanks for your support and thanks David and everyone else offering bits and pieces. It really is most generous of you. I'm speaking to Sprox at the moment as he lives just up the road and he might have the whole set but thanks anyway!

It was just my car that this was done to and as far as I know I havn't fallen out with anyone, I don't really consider myself as having any enemies... I live in a bit of a rough area though, I think theres just some sick people 'round. It makes me feel like wiring the chassis up to the mains and waiting for the next punk to try anything

Thanks for the compliments about my panda though It probably looks a little messier in the flesh, it's picked up lots of little dents here and there which bug me but I try and give it a good wax and polish every now and then. I think that if you show your car some love it'll show you some, I've had her 3 years and she's never let me down, or she;s let me down gently anyway.

What do you reckon I should do about the dent in the boot, I jsut need to prevent the rust for now. Any suggestions?

 

[Oldschool]

Sorry to hear this. It makes one very angry, frustrated and helpless especially knowing that some dumb struck polititians and judges do not do anything about it and criminalise the victims as thank you that we pay for their incompetence and uselessness.

I can feel with you as something similar happened to my 4x4 some 3 years ago. It was so badly done that I had to scrap it. Some youngsters where seen out there at the time. when I saw one of them on his bike I went with the car after him. He thought he cycled for his life. Having Asbo I threatened them with certain consequences, which they figured out were worse than dying. I never had problems afterwards.

If you are going to do a proper job later just put a bit of paint over the bare metal. Sand off any surface rust that may of appered in the last few days.

Ive got a tailgate if you want it - only thing is its black..........................
