This could be a blessing in disguise...
« on: Jun 29, 2016, 09:55:32 PM »
I was running an auskick training session on Monday night , looking after about 70 kids . I normally only have 14 ! This was a special training session for the kids and the club as we had a couple of the Fremantle dockers join in .  The whole junior clubs was there footy fields packed along with the car park.

I reversed the Mux into my usual spot making sure I left enough room so the eager kids don't fling their doors open into my car .

After training and a quick g'day  we headed of back to the car it was pretty dark at this stage I noticed the car wasn't parked straight . I said to my daughter I'm sure I was straight . But thought nothing less as we where still excited about the training we just did.

The next morning my heart sank when I went out to move the car before work .

Someone has hit the front of my MuX . Her first wounds ! Undoubtably I wasn't happy neither was the mrs . We both give up a fair bit of time to coach and help out at the club, that someone from the footy club would do this and not even leave a note . !

With an $800 excess I don't know if it worth it ! But the mrs wants it fixed.

I'm trying to convince it's perfect candidate for a bull bar as they will cut out the bottom section anyway !

Not only that the next shitbrick who hit it will come off second best !

Now to work on the mrs . !

Yeh you cant have that fixed, it has to have a bullbat fitted now  :laughing7:

On a serious note, it is disappointing that someone has damaged the volunteer coach's car and not said anything. It might pay to have a bit of a look at the cars at the next session as I am sure theirs also has some damage.

My thought exactly Danny. It NEEDS a bullbar!

It's going to be hard to find the culprit as it wasn't a normal session for us as the auskick is normally Sunday mornings and we have a 2 week break , but I'll be decadently having a poke around Monday to see if it was one of the juniors parents , the. Get the mrs to scope out the car park when auskick is back .

Save the $800 excess and slap a $2k-$2.5k bull bar on. You can say that the increase in insurance premiums for a claim will pay the bullbar off (eventually... maybe 50+ years?) LOL

I had a similar problem with my MUX at 3 months old (same damage spot, same colour car :sad10:) but found it was very easy and cheap to fix as the components are all plastic which means no traditional panel beating is required, I used a dent repair mob who came to my house, tidied up the sctaches/small dent and painted it for around $100. If you get the right blokes they can work magic with plastic painted panels these days :cup:
Just an option...cheers.

You got off lightly...our dmax recently had the front bumper torn half off whilst parked. We were very lucky and the culprit left a note and their insurance sorted it (was a tree lopping company that did it...I reckon I'll use them next time I need a tree dealt with because they're obviously honest!). I think the total bill was around $1500 for a new bumper and associated parts. I contemplated a bullbar install, but for me personally it's not a mod I really want. Great time to do it though. The MCC Rocker bar would've been my choice:

I am so fed up with the anonymous love taps I won't have a car without a bullbar any more.
Is it kinky to want to leave a mark on the other person?
