Can anyone help please. Parked the car up and when I came back some w***er had run into the back my Griff 500. Then, being the season of good will, this lovely person then legged it.

Smashed tail light and two foot-long breaks from the light down towards the exhaust.

Does anyone know, can this be repaired and if yes, by whom?

Many thanks.

Bad news mate, that really stinks, where did it happen? there could be a camera that captured the incident. I would trust team Proactive in Brum for any bodywork matters

If anyone can repair it, Team Proactive (formally TVR Team Central) will be able to do so. Give Adrian Windridge a call on 0121 344 3400.

I can fully empathise, happened to me too - see 'criminal damage' thread. Smashed my rear lights and put a nice towbar shaped hole in the fibreglass.

Took it to TeamProactive - will cost around a grand to have fixed.

Still trying to track down the tosser who did it.

Incidentally, whilst at Team Proactive I saw a Griff having a new rear fitted (much more damage than mine or hopefully yours) , apparently cost in region of eight grand !!
