Eggshell Damage

Beware the Raw Egg

 

I was parked in a layby in Cannock last week minding my own business, not interfering with anyone and certainly provided no cause for the loutish behaviour of another motorist.

A raw egg was thrown by a tw#t passing in what looked like a fairly new Audi at my car, it hit just at the side of the fuel filler and splattered along the side of the car.

What i first thought was a nuisance type prank turned into dismay when i cleaned the car later, where the egg hit and the eggshell disintegrated the sharp edges of the egg dug into the black paintwork.

It looks like a starburst, i'll try and get some pics, thankfully i've managed to polish some of the damage out but most of it is too deep and has gone well into the top coat.

 

Watch out for this obviously well known (although previously not to me) vandal prank.

had a c3 in the other week with same thing. looks like a bullet fired through glass. this had 3 eggs thrown at it all on diffrent panels. would not have belived the damage an egg could do unless i saw it with my own eyes. tried to machine polish it but could not remove all of it and the poor owner ended up having to have best part of the passanger side painted. f***ing ignorant b******s.

Sorry to hear m8. Have you got access to a machine polisher? This may help get rid of at least some of the damage.

Report the incident to the police tell them you want to sue for criminal damage. They may not be able to do anything. However, being the police they will have access to any local CCTV footage and may be able to get a number plate and address for the oiks. This assumes they were not driving a stolen car.

 

There was a spate of egg throwing in Coventry a few years ago. The targets were open windows on cars and houses.
