Not U.K. I think, only Chrysler BENELUX (belgium,Netherland & Luxembourg). But indeed some peeps on this forum find these or simular on ebay. Thats ofcourse not with the fancy BOX with a Xfire printed on it :lol:

 

I have never been "keyed" but I saw it happen once, one kid out of a crowd just walked the length of a new Oldsmobile. I should have kicked his butt. If I had the wisdom that I have today I would have. I am very careful where I park my Crossfire as I was with any "special" car that I have owned. End parking places in plain view do a lot to prevent door dings also.

 

That's no fun.... sorry to hear... my last car someone keyed "**** you" into my door... i never got around to getting it fixed so now it is unique...ha

 

I uploaded some low quality pics of the worst of the key marks, I'm warning you, they will make you cringe. The body shop got an opening next week, so it will go in on Monday but they are pretty busy so it might not be Thurs./Fri. till I get it back. There are a lot of smaller scratch marks then what you see in the pictures. Also, forgive my car for being pretty dirty, but I was trying to keep water off the car since there are some pretty big areas of metal exposed. At least my insurance company is going to get me a rental car...

 

OUCH!!!!!

You were right - I did cringe.....

Are they going to paint the whole car?

 

No, they won't need to paint the whole car. Considering the car is only 2 months old, and black is the easiest color to match, they should just be able to fix the affected areas. I have used this shop before, and they are probably one of the best shops anywhere...

 

Damn--coming from another black owner that almost made me cry. Post 'after' pictures when you get it back. Just make sure they perfectly match it, otherwise it will never look the same. I feel for you...

 

I know there are some HORRIBLE PEOPLE out there, but are you sure that was no one you knew. Peopl do stuff like that, usually it is someone you know of that does like the fact you have a nice car. I have had similar things happen, but it boils down to (the way you hold up your head). It is stupid for some to think that of you, but it happens. Lets' hope it was a stranger because it could very well happen again after you fix it.

 

only 1jt I sure hope you're not a valunteer on a suicide hotline... :lol:

 

Hey, I am only stating facts. Some people are mean, and then there are those that dislike you for you. If it is someone he knows, it can happen again.

I say that because of the scratch marks. Some people would scratch a bit and run. Those scratchs are deep and have a circular motion. Someone enjoyed doing that.

 

I don't think (and hope) it was anyone I knew. Nobody I can think of that I know would have been there at the time. I also hope no one I know would have done that to me. I guess it is almost "my fault" since I went to see a late movie at the mall, and my car was parked on top of the parking deck. When I came out (around 11:00-11:30) there were only a little over a dozen cars parked outside, and my car was in a corner by itself, since all of the other cars had left. Probably wasn't too hard for whatever jackass who did that to my car to do it without being seen. While I always make sure to try and find safe parking spaces for my car (in the hopes no one will slam their door in to the side of my car), I don't always think to park in a spot that will deter a keyer. That has now changed.
