Really need help asap - Saxperience

This is a long onebut please read as i do need help.

I Have just been out in car and was parked up next to mate talkin in car park. I then went to reverse without looking in my mirrors so i could move further away and get out. I then heard shouts from people behind me and stoped straight away to discover that i just say nudged a mazsda i asked if there was any damage and every1 said no after they examined it.
I then drove off to pick my mate up who lives no more than 2 mins away to return and discover that the girl and her boyfriend had treid to chase me and catch me.
They then returned sayin i had cracked her bumper i ent over to examin it and could not see anythin wrong. She then points out a few, not even hailine cracks where the lacker had cracked due to the bumper flexin.(i never even felt her i was going that slow).
She then sks what im gona do about it and i think shes havin a laugh and laugh at her, she then threatens me sayin "i had just wrote my car off".
After talking to her boyfriend who happens to spray cars, (after hes told me about him being a dealer and knows people who soot people), he says he can sort it for £45 because its a limeted edition mazda and has pearl paint. Once we talk some more he says if i apologise and his girlfriend calms don she might be ok with it so i give it a crack. After a friendly chat with her the result is her sayin £50 will cover it. She then took ny phone number, house number, street name and they drove off.

Any ideas where i go from here

ignore it. i know i probably shouldnt encourage it but from personal experience of working in the industy if there is no damage to your or their car, then you can probably deny all knowledge of any collision and it will all go away

Grav · 5th March 2009, 00:29

but not wantin harm to come to my car coz aint got cameras or garage so not to do about it.

Change your name and mobile number. Oh and move house.

On a serious note, wait to see if they contact you. Then just pay up if your scared they may do somethin to your car tbh.

LeeM · 5th March 2009, 00:33

yeah, if your worried theyre gonna do somethin u could pay, or phone the police and say your being threatened for money

Carlito · 5th March 2009, 00:34

same sort of thing happened to my bro. Id say if you know youve done the damage then pay up but if you think theyre havin you on then ignore it and hope it goes away, probs not the most moral thing to do lol

Grav · 5th March 2009, 00:35

sound like a plan just see what comes. Its just so pathetic...

Mike_Saxo_Furio · 5th March 2009, 00:35

Watch out that they dont go to your house n try to do over your car mind !!

Tontsy · 5th March 2009, 00:37

all saying ignore it, but hes just given his number out to a dealer, now the ones i know would have broken your legs by now if you pissed them off...
you knw this guy or not? and is he actually a rough bloke?

and in all fairness, unless its cracked and gone down to prime or plastic, bit of t-cut, paint renovator and polish will sort it out.
just lol in his face.

Grav · 5th March 2009, 00:37

if it comes to it i will pay but gonna wait for a phone call

Tontsy · 5th March 2009, 00:40

He sayin somit about it bein a plastic bumper so it will begin to expand and contract with different temperatures, so in time will get dirt in and crack more so its noticable. So it has to be sprayed.
He didnt look too rough like but never know our days.

Pay them the £50 & keep your fingers crossed that you don't get taken for a ride.
Dealers can be tricky fuckers when it comes to owed money.

You've learned a lesson 2nite though, idiots that don't pay attention when they drive get into trouble so be more vigilant!!!

Grav · 5th March 2009, 00:43

I figured

he said he aint dealin anymore but made it noticable how thick his wallet was

blackvtr08 · 5th March 2009, 00:45

Should be glad hes only charging you 50 pound to paint the bumper, i work in the trade and someone went into the back of mine after i just resprayed the whole car i charged them 170 plus vat to repair my back bumper. It had a slight crack and minor scratches. They was glad that i didnt go through insurance.
You shouldnt of told them where you live, all they really need is reg number and a contact number...i wouldnt want any dealers coming round to my house debt collecting

Tontsy · 5th March 2009, 00:48

its prob just shit man, and hes trying to take you for a ride...
like i said, heat in the moment, everyone over reacts about shit...

how many hair line scratches u got on your car? more than you think. tell him to jogg on.

now my mazda was limited edtion with only 400 ever made

MattySmith · 5th March 2009, 01:00

what a bam you are like other says you should never have gave them your home address, a contact number was all that you should of gave them, £45 to spray a bumper? hmm be lucky go get a grill sprayed for that (or up this way anyway)

sammyd · 5th March 2009, 01:10

m8 just dont do anything they probley scratched it themselves and blamin you because they need drug money fcukin assholes dont give em no such cash

Tontsy · 5th March 2009, 01:12

i know my spays are stupidly discounted, but man, its not that much to spray something... im having an entire re-spray, and some body work done for 1k by VW specalist, and their work is 2nd to none! for a k .. yeah its mates rate, but it shows how cheap u can do it...

if he is in the industry it will be pence.
my busines partner is a qualfied sprayer and panel beater, tell them to come down and see me and ill have the work done for less than a 10er !
hes having you on, and if anyone in here owns a painting business will know its not that much, unless its a flip or pearl because they need to be matched.

leave it if he is serious ull hear back in a few days.
if not by end of the weekend, forget it man.
