I Live in swansea, Wales, and today I had a rather unplesant surprise, as someone has trashed my car. The dash needs replacing, as well as the main loom, and a few other parts. All in all, I need quite a few parts by now, so I need to go to a breakers yard. I see Jezzybabes has probably got a few parts, but it`s a bit far to go from here. Does anoyne know of a breakers yard closer to wales, or should I just go to jezzybabes for parts?

 

My shoppinglist so far is:

 

Dashboard

wiringloom

center console (only top)

Carpet (front)

surrounds for the steering column

Rear hatch gas struts

plastic thingy on rear wheel arch

maybe drivers seat, if I can find a mint one.

 

 

Looks quite bad... they even messed up my alarm.

And the whole things covered in blood... You can see it on glove box.

Bashed in the window, probably cut his hand when he broke of bits of the dash. I found the stereo surround (half of it) on the other side of the street, and I think they might have been in a hurry, judging from the damage. All the wires are snapped right off, the microwavesensor for the alarm is a bit unstable, and all panels on the dash are broken...

 

If I`m lucky, the wiring loom has just come out of the socket on the alarm, but I suspect I actually need a new one. All I`m sure of at the moment is that I`ve got quite a job to do to get it as nice as it was again....

 

 

I bet the thief is a bit dissapointed now, as the cd player was really old, and only read the jap fm band.... And he didn`t get the remote either, which you need to turn it on and of....

Thieving dogbummers. The parts should be available through the site here, there's a few people breaking cars in the for sale section (might have to go back a month or so in the posts)

 

If there is blood there may be a chance of the police catching the bummer then???

 

True dna and all that, problem is they will be too busy catching real criminals (motorists) going 4 mph over the speed limit

Sorry to see this :(

 

I hope you get it all sorted. I always joke with friends about how hard it is to get the stereo out of the Supe, and the mess you would leave if you didn't know how... I guess this is a real example of it :(:(

 

By the looks of things, it was just some nugget trying to fund a Class A habit and didn't have a clue. What a w*nker. Hopefully natural selection will have him down as a hemophiliac and he will crawl into some small hole and bleed to death. Scum!
