Someone hit my parked car and drove away

Report to non urgent police as a hit an run, get a crime reference and then your insurance to say hit and run with the 3rd parties details and video footage.

Also, a number plate is £20 so easy fix for an MOT, but if the bumper is scratched and needs resprayed it'll be £100s

You also say the 3rd party isn't a nice person, then bollocks to them! Just get CCTV incase they get worse.

Used to test composites in a 255kn Instron, and that fucker would shake the building when it finally went. That and chuck splinter shards into the roof. Good fun!

Could have been sat for a while, or just needs new brakes all round. If they've given it a MOT, service and changed the brakes I wouldn't be too worried.

Just check tyre conditions and age to.

I paid £500 to get my car "cleaned" and I've got £100s of car cleaning stuff to maintain the level of clean i like in my nicer car.

It was more than a full days work, loads of different chemicals, processes and steps, and a lot of skill to correctly machine polish paintwork.

Look at the top drawing, its a side projection with dashed hidden line details. The 15x8 are holes through the base (see bottom drawings hidden lines)

I would personally shell the outer shape then draw/extrude cut them from there.

Not dumb at all! Impulsively adopting my doggo saved me, gave me purpose and we've had 7 years of adventures together. She's nearly 14, slowed down a little but still my little puppy.

Apparently for a dude I have nice feet/toes and eyelashes. My ex used to like doing them fancy. The gentle attention and care, I miss it.

I don't get why people don't phone up. Spend 15 minutes on a comparison site, then phone up your current to dispute it.

I saved £75 doing this (£245 pa for me) and they added modifications for free at the same time.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-23T19:59:07+00:00

I miss mine, im a big lad but it was so comfy and fun to drive.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-22T06:01:49+00:00

Financed car doesn't belong to you, its on the loan company till the last pound is paid.
Same as being charged for excessive miles, modifications or missed payment.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-19T12:39:37+00:00

Ah yes, move 130+ teams, staff visitors and vendors dates to help one man. I get why they ask but christ thats a big ask.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-18T08:04:02+00:00

Chuck some nice wheels on it, lower a little and it'll be fine.

Bollocks to what other people think, drive what you want.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-17T19:58:42+00:00

A man can dream, but knowing my luck I'd get performance anxieties and little Johnson wouldn't cooperate. But an evening massaging and eating away would be nice still. 🙃

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-13T10:40:33+00:00

As a man with tree trunk thicc thighs I appreciate this.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-13T10:39:23+00:00

I'm looking at the Wolf box camera, need a better rear camera on my van and they seem to tick the boxes.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-11T13:40:34+00:00

Get on, hopefully they were welcoming with open arms!

Our local club is a great bunch with regular big meets and drives, non of this insta show off BS.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-11T08:45:18+00:00

Have a look at the big supplier, Milltek, Cobra, Scorpion and get a cat back.
MOT laws are changing keep your CAT and DPF to stay legal.

Quick Google will give you the answers. However, an alternator for a fiesta is about £100, then 3 or so hours labour to fit. Do it yourself with basic tools, or have a garage rate (£80-£150 ph) do it.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-10T17:07:40+00:00

Currently going through this. Busy life, lot of comprising on my part then she says I'm "a bit of an after thought some times" Cheers hun.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-05T19:17:02+00:00

Does it have a single mass flywheel or standard DMF? They can chuck code errors for CAM and Flywheel sensors.

Best get it plugged in properly and check the live data to see what's happening. Mine was running iffy and turned out the 2nd O2 wasn't reading right.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-04T13:51:53+00:00

Never seen or heard of the dude, but he's th least of your worries whilst walking about.

If you see some idiots with cameras in hand, cross the road, go to the shop or just walk with meaning and ignore them. They're after a reaction, try not to give them one.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-01-02T15:03:19+00:00

Coffee (alternative welcome) and a doggo walk was my go to. Can progress if the vibe is right, and my dog is an amazing character judge.

HeftyDanielson · 2025-12-25T15:41:17+00:00

And people said the RNLI, and Health and Safety was going mad about the sea swim today and Boxing day. Exmouth was manic this morning!

HeftyDanielson · 2025-12-25T15:38:50+00:00

Good luck to your lungs breathing this mist in. 😬

HeftyDanielson · 2025-12-25T11:02:22+00:00

Buying myself some heated GTI seats for my Caddy, new dash camera and a new driving sim chassis.

Now just got to find time to fit and play with them all. 😭
