woke up this morning, went ot go to work, walked upto the car, and saw that the tops of the doors have been bent outwards! went around the other side, and it was the same there its a good job i put the deadlocks on or itd be gone 4 sure!! me an me bro bent the doors back in coz it was pissin it down with rain and the car was already soaked.
while this was happenening my neighbour came out and said that she heard this alarm at 5.30 this morning, but thought it was theres, when they saw it wasnt their car, they went back 2 bed but to be fair, they couldn see my car from their window.
ive reported it to the police, not alot they can do though really. as nothin was taken. jus fucks me off that some chav cunt thinks that he can come an take something that ive saved up for so long an spent so much money on 
i will get pics when the camera batteries have charged. im pretty sure itl need 2 new doors tho, there pretty fucked.
its al a bit shit too coz i wanted 2 sort out buying my bros astra, (thread HERE) but i doubt thatl happen now coz il have to spend my £££ on this 
any1 know much much it is for new doors btw? any idea of spraying costs etc?

so glad i can protect my no claims
annoying that you should lose them when its not even your fault though 
i am sure when sassy claimed for her vectra as it was stolen they didnt take them or something similar
£250 gotta be better than paying for new door and paint

I now wish I had started collecting my NCB earlier so I could have full protected now I was the stupid cunt that had to have a GSi in my dads name @ 17 
£250 + Hike in Insurance will probably be more than new doors + paint..........its the price of being young

I am 23 and have full 5 yrs protected NCB 
Protected mine via Direct Line for £50 
On mine I can claim once in a year or twice in a 3 yearly period (don't really make sense tho )

Another 2 years for me before I can protect
Keep shitting myself into not pushing the Scooby to the limit incase I stack it and lose NCB.......dont think I could insure it without it

i think in this pic, the big dent is wher theyve rested their knee for some leverage on the car?

when it stops raining im gona take all my ice out the car thing is, i dount it woulda happened if the car was on the driveway. but i can kiss goodbye to that when my bro gets his CTR. im jus scared itl happen again and again. i cant afford to keep fixing it

3cm - yeh its only the doors, that are bent, ive made a pic that shows how far out they were bent:

the red line is where the top of the door was.
they have also put a dent here too (circled) i think they may have used a crowbar of somesort:
